Just FYI, I forgot to mention - my complaining about how web pages don't work in browsers anymore? I solved 95% of my issues by turning off the Privacy Badger extension that I installed a few months ago.
I support EFF and this isn't a complaint against them. I don't have enough current tech knowledge to know, but I imagine it broke things because certain sites were demanding too much data and were getting brutally rebuffed by Privacy Badger. Which is great! That was the idea.
But so many sites I need (for life to function) break when it's on that I regularly have to tell it "not this website". This is frustrating, but like I said, I blame the websites, not EFF. The internet is a mess.
