Just noting that on Windows 10 there was a auto-update that disabled IE and replaced it with Edge.
Researching the fix and getting it back was not really something that some people who are nervous around computers might want to undertake without kindly instruction.

That's the problem, a lot of sites nowadays have completely stopped paying attention to IE, and rendering is completely broken - even MS's. It's just unusable nowadays.

Why do you need to change browsers at all right now? If you / they are happy to run an older unsupported OS (Win 7) why fret about an older unsupported browser (Edge, Chrome or FF)?
|
|
|
|
|
Because sites refuse to let you connect using older/no longer supported protocols; pages aren't tested and rendering is completely messed up, etc.
Generally I have no problem using software that is set in stone, but a browser, by its nature, tries to connect to something - the web in this case - that is constantly evolving.

I get the need to leave IE (its been deprecated for several years) but all the other choices have only very recently dropped (or will drop) support for Win7. I suspect you're going to be fine with today's versions for several years before protocols change enough to matter.

I run Windows 10. For the most part it looks like Windows 95 with addons that I have added.

You and I can deal with that.
But I'm talking about people who get profoundly disturbed by the fact that the icon for their browser changed from a blue E to a blue/green circle. To them, 95 and 10 are nothing alike. I'm likely to get a phonecall if their wallpaper changes.
I'd love to be able, like you, to pretend such people don't exist.

Psycroptic - Rend Asunder[^]
In last week's SOTW, @Member-6430 / @peterkm shared Psycroptic's new album, Divine Council.
This album is awesome right from the start all the way to the end!
Psycroptic's from Australia and they play fast and technical death metal.
And apparently, that was just what I needed this week

Garsi has a new set out. I'm sure I'll get tired of that style pretty soon, but it hasn't happened yet: GARSI - Live @ Paris, France 02.02.2023. Nice work music as long as I keep from watching the video.

Not a smily, but I think one can understand it anyways

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

OK, thanks ... but, perhaps it can be added to the list of icons ?
and, where is your musical preference, if I may ask ?

You may.
I always say that every music has a moment and every moment has a music.
I like a lot of different types (classic to techno, pop to metal, chill out to epic, folk to country...). But my taste was not so satisfied with some of the songs commented in some of Sanders' threads in the past, they were a bit too "dark", too "minimalistic" or too "extreme" for me. Although in general terms I do usually like the proposed SOTW (I even contributed twice to the selection of following week if I remember correctly)

Nice one too! 🤘 (it's all "regular" font now, just hit Windows key + . (dot) or right click and pick emoji from the context menu) 😉

I liked it until they started singing. Those guttural vocals don't do anything for me. But the rest is pretty good.
