Yep, the Firefox thing is weird. I’d run a memory test . Does this laptop do the same thing with Windows?

Also op mentions 20 years, were your other experiences like this?

And that’s the same reason Linux and open source doesn’t, because when developers are empowered to do things that impact them, shit happens

Does Google require proof you live there and give that info to the cookie monster that powers its profits??

Am I too paranoid at this point?
