i'm saddened that http://macsecret.com/ along with /files directory seems to have all be been lost. I has waiting on some storage for the NAS to archive it and it went away before I could back it up.

Re:Microsoft Abandons Personal AI Chatbot Race with Copilot Reboot on Saturday September 26, 2026 @04:29AM (#49854412)
that's how i felt with the windows key back then.
for me the one good thing about using Safari/Webkit is getting all the macOS integration with things like Passwords/touchID auth, Apple Pay, passkeys etc.

sadly none of that is in this so far.

also boasting about chrome extension support is nice, but at this time people probably want firefox extensions so that UBO can fully run.

from the Dave Plummer wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Plummer

"Plummer left Microsoft in 2003[10] to start his own company, SoftwareOnline LLC, a software vendor. Plummer claimed that the company went on to sell millions of copies of first and third party utilities software for Windows.[16]

In 2006, SoftwareOnline was sued by The Washington State Attorney General's Office for alleged violations of the Consumer Protection Act after complaints were made about two products called "Registry Cleaner" and "InternetShield". SoftwareOnline agreed to pay $150,000 in civil penalties, plus $250,000 that was ultimately suspended following compliance with all terms in the settlement, as well as $40,000 in legal fees.[6] He also founded Xeriton Corporation during this period, whose major product was the Blue Phone technical support service.[17] In December 2009, Xeriton was sold to Support.com for $8.5 million.[18]"

I might be misremembering since it's been over 35, but the orinal Mac versions of these games would be better to play today with the higher resolution they had.
