Google is working on it. By entering every single internet, of course.

I hate to disagree, but a browser is something that is designed to render web content.
Connecting to the Internet is the responsibility of the owner of the machine and the network card/driver/software. If I thought that a browser had taken control of that, or even tried to, I would uninstall and blacklist it immediately.
I feed a browser HTML files, of whatever origin, and it displays me nicely rendered pages. That's its only job.
Half the help files in the world are now delivered and installed as locally-stored web content, which are accessed through a browser which renders web content -- much like word-processed documents are rendered through a word processor.
I'm not bothered about that, though, because any browser will happily display help files on air-gapped machines.
However, the cheery chaps at cisco decided to make a plug-in that only works correctly with chrome, and my customers want to use this plug-in.

Methinks you misclicked and downloaded the online installer. The offline installer is 50Tb, to provide you with sophisticated technology and a stylish and lightning fast browsing experience.

I pulled and ran the offline installer just fine last week. I think you hit the wrong download.

Were you connected to the internet when you ran the installer?
The online installer is a whisker under 800k; the offline installer is nearer to 50Meg -- it's quite hard to get them mixed up.

Aha!
That looks much better! I'll give it a try.
Cheers!

How I Made My Own iPhone - in China - YouTube
Sticking it to The Man!  Gotta hand it to him, though, for the effort and success.
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

Sounds like a fun project, but of how many hours?
And then when you consider that the outcome is that you're stuck with an iphone...

He said a few months, I believe. Highly doubt 40 hr weeks, but still some time was involved.

I left in 2012 due to the non-stop horrible crap that 'Dalek Dave' was posting, I see he's been gone awhile (no loss there).
Anything big happen here in the last 5 years while I was gone?
There is no failure only feedback

You demonstrated what it takes for you to leave, and, in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't much.

What was horrible about what he was posting?

He ran off to become a politician. Is that not horrible enough?

That's a question of the perspective.
