So, does this mean you are switching to C'YaPass: Forget All Your Passwords | Never Memorize A Password Again <br/> Never Type A Password Again <br/> Never Make Up A Password Again[^] 
And, remember, you can try it in your browser first : C'YaPass Web app: draw a pattern, type a key, gen a password. all client-side code[^]
Of, course, it is all Open Source and all code is freely available at GitHub.
GitHub - raddevus/CYaPass-Android: CYaPass app on Android platform - never memorize a password again[^]
GitHub - raddevus/CYaPassWF: Contains C# project for WinForm(WF) (Windows desktop) for CYaPass app[^]
GitHub - raddevus/CYaPass-Web: HTML5, JavaScript, Bootstrap based CYaPass solution - Never memorize a password again.[^]
GitHub - raddevus/CYaPass-iOS: Contains Swift project (XCode) for iOS version of CYaPass app.[^]
The magic is that C'YaPass never stores your password anywhere: instead, it generates it every time.
Of course, you can read all about it here at CP too:
Users Hate Passwords (We're All Users): Never Memorize a Password Again[^]
Sorry, about the gratuitous marketing push, but, uh, well, errr...everything is marketing anyways.
And you practically asked for this.

You do know the Creation Date timestamp has nothing to do with the original creation date, right? And you're just funnin' with us? 
I'm assuming that creation time and last mod time are based on the file timestamps, of course.

If so, you’re logged in to the browser, and Google might be tapping into your Web activity to target ads. Don’t recall signing in? I didn’t, either. Chrome recently started doing that automatically when you use Gmail.
Does uBlock prevent that too?
Given the choice between crippled spyware and a more decent browser, which do you prefer on your system?

I switched to FireFox 1 or 2 years ago. With FireFox you still get a nice account (if you want it) that will track the sites you visited etc (nice if you work on multiple machines and if you want it).
However, they do not sell your data at all and all that data is private to you.
I also switched to using DuckDuckGo.com 100% of the time.
I was very accustomed to using Google Chrome (used it for at least 5 years continuously) but the switch was very easy. I highly recommend it. Mozilla is open source and a company which I believe honestly works for its users.

Then don't use an android phone... you still have less (almost none) control about it.

I prefer to not own a phone at all, but without one I can't access some government-sites. So, there's one here that is used specifically for that. A prepaid sim paid with cash, and it does not leave the house.

Gates is still kicking himself for taking his eyes off the ball and allowing Google to develop Android, the “standard non-Apple phone form platform,” as he describes it. If only they had a phone OS for years before Android came out!

And it's not like Microsoft completely ignored CE for six years (after having complete dominance of the hand held scanner market.)

They had Windows Mobile - Wikipedia, remember HTC.. its just that they could not keep up with the times...and Bill Gates could not have done anything at msft that would have given it the lead...basically since they didn't want to get into Java and they had this .NET thing coming along.

In 2001/2002 we built an internal app via Compact .NET Framework which ran on PocketPC devices which allowed users to obtain signatures for delivered packages. Then when they returned to the mail room they put the device in the cradle and it snyced all data back to SQL Server. It worked really well and building code in .NET (compact) was really nice. Yes, there were limitations and challenges but it worked quite qell.
Way back in 01/02 and we were building mobile apps. Many years before Apple. But, alas, first to market (or even best product) does not always win.
When MS lost on the mobile app front may have been when they lost completely. Not sure why they gave up so easily, except that someone didn't understand that it was the future / no leadership into mobile development.

Yeah, lots of mistakes were made.
H/w wasn't fantastic, but my PocketPC only cost $200 and lasted like 6 years (made by viewsonic).
I was very sad when it finally died because at the time (08) there as no valid replacement. Just iPhone basically and I was no-way on that.

It kills me. I was using PocketPC in 2002 and really liking it.
Another guy I worked with bought a Windows Phone (running PocketPC 2002) at the time but it did crash a lot and it used a "HORROR!" stylus (I liked using the stylus). Anyways, then we paused for like 5 years and the first iPhone comes out and it doesn't really do as much as the PocketPC 2002 -- except it doesn't use a stylus (wow, such innovation!). In that first year there was no app store even . But it was WAY better than PocketPC...(that I had 5 years before) that's what they tole me! Ok.
I know. I know. It's all MARKETING!

Millions of Dell computers running Windows, and possibly many more computers made by other brands, are vulnerable to a flaw in their internal system-health software that could let hackers take over the machines, according to a new report from Sunnyvale, California-based SafeBreach. Software designed to keep machines safe has vulnerability. Someone please notify Alanis Morissette
I imagine there are more than a few Dells out there (and others with that software)

I can guarantee you that my reasonably new Dell laptop is not a potential victim of this flaw.
