Would be even better in relation to population and annual consumption.

I don't like either, but the left one at least scales better for various applications across platforms and media.

They aren't useless at all, just not in the sense you expect. Those icons are hosted on the respective website and therefore serve as a giant tracking pixel. Better block them altogether.

Every time I'm in the US I'm confused as hell why they call burger patties hamburger and the fully assembled dish as well.

And don't get me started on appetizer somehow meaning main course.

Some do, some don't. The US however requires no such thing from EU citizens.

Why bother posting this blog that doesn't explain a thing and just links on to the original source at the bottom for the actual explanation?

You could use LibreWolf on Linux, it's a Firefox fork that removes all DRM, telemetry and other privacy-disrespecting crap from the og Firefox. All native addons/plugins are fully supported.

Got the occasional mouse, but I usually only notice after my cats got to them first.

Or they hunt them outside and bring the corpse back, really couldn't tell.

My kindle hasn't been online since 2012. Just buy DRM free books or pirate them, and then transfer via cable. None of the firmware upgrades introduced anything useful.

Unfortunately they use some random font to display the temperature in the toolbar that is not the system font and can't be changed. Whatever they are using is larger than the clock font and distorts the appearance.

Here it's side by side with Today Weather.

The original app (geometric weather) as much better, but they stopped updating it, hence the breezy fork came to be. If only they didn't mess with the fonts, I would have loved to use it.
