There's no winning a perpetual game of whack-a-mole, especially when having no moles (=viewers) left also means that you lose.

There is a certain unfortunate irony in the realization that one of the easiest ways to avoid this kind of thing is to buy a commercial digital signage panel intended for advertising instead of a consumer TV.

For search engines, this is an interesting list: A look at search engines with their own indexes. It doesn't cover every possible Bing frontend, but it gives you some idea of where else to try if your default search engine gives you nothing.

As for web browsers, a short practical list broken down by rendering engine looks like this:

  • Webkit-based: Safari
    • Blink-based: Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Opera
  • Gecko-based: Firefox, LibreWolf, Tor Browser
    • Goanna-based: Pale Moon

Those are all under active development.

This is almost ten years old, and NPAPI plugins have been desupported by pretty much everything except Pale Moon, which forked from Firefox so long ago that it also still supports XUL.

The answer is more than one, because Firefox has several forks of its own, and as far as I know all of them (even Pale Moon, which is highly divergent and never supported Manifest V2) support uBlock.

I agree that all Chromium-based browsers are going to drop support sooner or later.

Makes sense on ultrawides.

In which case, the question becomes: what percentage of users are actually using ultrawides? If it isn't >50%, then the default should be the setting most appropriate to non-ultrawides. Unless you're going to autodetect screen resolution and set the button's location appropriately.

This is not rocket science, but Windows has been blowing it for quite some time now.

I know, and it's terrifying.

You can't really blame them. It'll be a lot easier to pick up the pieces without a bunch of lookie-loos getting in the way (and they don't need even the occasional would-be looter, either). The visitors can wait until residents have settled back in and surviving shops and services are back up.

Only the first few words of this title were necessary: any Ontarian with a functioning brain is upset with Ford at this point.

Given that Disney's history with litigation and human rights is pretty vile, I am not terribly surprised by this.

That's because you lack the political will to fix the actual problem, which isn't an issue anywhere else in the world and has absolutely nothing to do with communications.

Build a Faraday cage into the walls so that only wired connections will work. Boom, no bans required. Actual necessary calls go through the office landlines, like they did in the 1990s. (Probably impractical, especially given the refit required for existing buildings.)
