Using it for years on iOS and Mac. Works great and the only zero telemetry browser. Apple Pay works and the compatibility button fixes any problem site worth loading. No complaints.

eat healthy as in: only once a day and only six days a week. only water for drinking and only fresh stuff to eat, no meat, no eggs, nothing cooked, nothing baked, nothing fried, nothing grilled, nothing processed, no sugar and no salt.

Being a major shift from the good life one should start it with a 7 day water fast. (do I have to say "ask your doctor before embarking"? done)

Did the 602 each hire someone to do their job for 12k a month until 2037 because sharing is caring?

Can’t that 6 year old president request 2 trillion dollars for the war department per anno, outsource production to China and thus get more tomahawk for the same money to defeat Iran another 37 times?

Beautiful ads for Corsair ram, holiday rentals, chair workouts and Hugo Boss for women fragrance. I couldn’t read the small footer ad on the phone but will make sure to check later on the desktop.
