The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Oh my heavens.

I just used Firefox to this link: Yahoo Finance: State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) Stock Historical Prices & Data

Firefox 130.0(64-bit) Windows, up to date.

New yahoo, cut & paste into Excel 2003 worked fine.
It pasted into LibreOffice Calc Version: 24.8.0.3 (X86_64) fine, too.

Oddly, I didn't have to convert the CR/LF line endings to just LF like I had to the other day.

Old yahoo/classic cut&pasted worked fine, too.

Brave worked with yahoo/classic.
"Brave is up to date
Version 1.69.168 Chromium: 128.0.6613.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)"
For some reason, Brave could not switch to new yahoo until I turned off AdBlockUltimate.
But that cut/pasted fine, too.

I'm running Windows 10.
