Sweeeet!

I have a Google Pixel Slate and I really like computing life with a Chromebook. It is a different experience. One thing that you'll notice is that you'll be spending a lot of time in Chrome. Not a bad thing, but a departure of life on a Windows machine.

Pissed you off for the last time - - highly unlikely.

Yeah, I don’t think any of us were begging for an Edge download.

Everyday, another place or two I have visited for varying periods of time go missing.
Even though I discovered that most of them are alive on Google Chrome, I have not gotten comfortable with that platform.
I will have to, I guess.

Chrome will suck out your soul but they do it painlessly through a very small hole.
They are pissing me off big time though by downloading a GIF as a webp.
