I ‘downgraded’ this year and realized what an upgrade having one of those was. We cannot cede those things.

Too large! Came with bloatware. No other complaints though, I only use my phone for a few things.

Turn off history. It makes the homepage blank, and you will only see your subscriptions. But, there are still recommendations in the side bar you will have to ignore.

That just because someone treats you better than you’ve ever been treated before, does NOT mean that they are treating you WELL.

If you were bullied or abused as a kid, do some actual reading about what’s normal and healthy, and get out of a situation immediately if there are any even slightly concerning signs. No second chances, no guilt, no self blame, just go.

This is awesome. I’m glad you lucked out like that.

No. And while they are my family….also still no. I value my wellbeing.

This is the best advice here. Checkerboard pattern.
