Maybe WinSetView [0] and the options [1] it provides might be of use to you? It was able to resolve the issues I was facing so hopefully it can work for you as well.

That was an interesting and enjoyable read. Thank you for sharing it. This goes very nicely with the Wikipedia rabbit hole I went down yesterday about "Clear-Channel Stations" [0], namely 700 WLW from Cincinnati, Ohio, United States [1].

WLW holds the distinction of being the only AM radio station ever authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast with a power output of 500,000 watts, which happened in the 1930s.

With a mouse pressing and holding left/center/right mouse buttons and moving the mouse result in no sound until the left/center/right button is released. Not knowing about touchpads, do they not have buttons for left/center/right? If they do maybe those will work as they do on a mouse?

According to Wikipedia[0]: "The game's development began in 2006 as a PlayStation 3 spin-off titled Final Fantasy Versus XIII"... "After a development period of six years, it was changed to the next mainline title in the series in 2012".

Yes.

The time change, officially decided in June, is meant to align Samoa with its Asian trading partners; it moves the islands’ work days further from the United States, which dominated its economy in the past. [0]

Had not heard of LocalCDN[0] before. Currently using Decentraleyes[1] on mobile and desktop Firefox as well as recommending to everyone I know. At first glance LocalCDN looks like it could become a replacement for Decentraleyes. Does anyone have experience with both extensions?

Personally I will wait to try LocalCDN until it becomes recommended by Mozilla and installable on mobile Firefox, but it has peaked my interest. Thank you for sharing it 2Gkashmiri.

On the Mr. Rogers website [0] there are some complete episodes from 1970 currently available. Also, in my region Amazon Prime Video [1] has Mr. Rogers from 1979-2001 available for purchase.

I use just plain Firefox with uBlock Origin and tend to stay away from content with sponsor spots. Personally I haven't seen a YouTube ad in years.

I'll throw my theme into the mix. It doesn't cover everything since I don't yet have access to everything, but it works for me.
