I chuckled when Steve referred to a “an escort service run by Microsoft”. That’d probably true in so many contexts.

I overall loved every moment he talked about escorts because I am immature.

The escort service was to satisfy the US government military requirements. This story writes itself. Show us the list! Hahah

“BTAT - which stands for Bulk Transfer After Termination… “

Now there’s an acronym I haven’t heard in a long time. Back in the 1980s it stood for BT Applied Technology, an interesting little corner of the British Telecom empire which specialised in then-rare real time processing systems, and supplied air cargo processing systems to Miami International Airport and most (maybe all) of the UK’s airports.

I use the Brave Browser , but only because there is a Chrome Extension I need.

I agree anyone still using Google Chrome should switch to Brave.

One thing you can do is go to brave://flags & Disable things you don’t want.

I still prefer a non Chrome Browser.

The things I do not like about Brave.

They have no Offline Installer & no Portable Version.

I have a 23inch Monitor. I do not want everything on the right side. I want to be able to customize it the way I want, like I can using Firefox. I always enable the Menu Bar.

I have been using LibreWolf for a while, but recently I switched to Mullvad Browser V14.5.5

> **[Mullvad Browser for Windows](https://mullvad.net/en/download/browser/windows)**

> Download Mullvad Browser for Windows to enhance online privacy with strong anti-fingerprinting, no telemetry, and private browsing. Works on Windows 10+.

I am using it along with ProtonVPN.

I still use FireFox as well.

Hopefully There are some Australians who watch Security Now. They can just switch from Signal to Session. There is even a Desktop Version.
