Speaking of which... the last update ("release" or "upgrade" I probably
should say, as it is latest version on FreeBSD and on MS Windows I will
mean here) has nasty changes: it started "blocking downloads that
potentially contain virus or spyware". It blocked download of
pdfforge.org's PDF Creator for me (the last I use for ages). This was last
drop for me in my over 4 years long search for replacement for Firefox.
So, I'm switching away from it. Leaving alone google chrome (which I have
my reservations about which I don't like to go into, so chrome is out of
my consideration), I'm switching to vivaldi on Windows and Linux and to
midori on FreeBSD (and Linux maybe instead of vivaldi)...
