    Doesn't Orion do that too?

    Without involving the extension creator they would fork a version of the extension and bake that into Brave.

    Wasn't the rebrand to "Max" to get away from adult programming and be an everything streamer?

    This is part of a new plan whereby the streamer will prioritize adult and family programming.

    I've been thinking about this a bit recently. Seems like the only thing stopping most folks from plugging in an old laptop/computer is a killer UI built for remotes. Plus maybe lackluster keyboard navigation on websites and positioning of the device so the remote can be used reliably. Am I missing something else? These problems don't sound insurmountable

    Good point. Yes, but I'm pretty sure they chose to flag it as "for kids" for greater reach. At least when I've unploaded videos in the past it explicitly asks you if it's made for kids. Here's some trailers that aren't flagged for kids: A Minecraft Movie, Mufasa, Snow White, The Wild Robot

    Namecheap went hard into promoting cryptocurrency and Web3 in years past. Any of that come up while using their email service? I didn't even know that was something they offered. I use Porkbun and I guess they offer it too now that I'm checking. I think I just subliminally ignored it as another upsell attempt

    If that's all that was happening there's no need to tag Trump and continue to claim it wasn't "political" when it explicitly showed support for one party.

    It's still more modular than the status quo. Other desktops don't have swappable ports, side panels, and front panel tiles
