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.

That doesn't work on my browser.

I have visited many web pages that don't work on one browser or another. And, of course, various ad blockers interfere with various web pages.

For browsers my primary one is slimjet, then Brave. These work on 90% of the sites I visit.
I also have firefox, vivaldi, thorium, waterfox, and librewolf.

My wife uses Brave exclusively.


I find yahoo's attempts puzzling. They make a change to make it difficult, yet it is not particularly difficult to get around what they are attempting to charge $50/mo for.
Just have to jump through some minor hoops. What used to be easy to automate has to be done manually. But still simple.

The next step we'll have to do is a way to feed keystrokes & mouse movements to the browser. I know this is possible, we used to do it at work in our regression tests. Just hasn't been annoying enough SO FAR to look up how to do it.
