Maybe some help appreciated, but mainly just bitching about browsers...

My primary browser is Opera and the default one for linking from email is Firefox. I also have Vivaldi and Brave installed, and the hated Edge is floating around somewhere. Truth is, I kinda like Edge now that it's a real browser. And Bing brings up a bunch of "interesting" things to play with if you're not in a hurry.

All of them now use the Chrome engine, so I don't need Chrome and more Google shit and spyware, but can use most Chrome extensions.

BUT...

Every single one of them has this horrendous habit of erasing my open tabs when I close it. Fortunately, they keep the history so I can find them again, but Vivaldi even wiped that out for a while until someone noticed. Firefox fixed the problem until the last update, and Opera just started losing stuff. Firefox has a "restore last session" button that sorta works.

In the Settings, they ask if you want to open with the last session of a new session-- every one of them I say save the old session. Opera and some of the others allow you to open a new secure/private session, and sometimes it gets confused and keeps that one instead of the one with tabs.

AAAAARRRGGGHHHH-- WHY DOESN'T THIS SHIT JUST DO WHAT YOU TELL IT TO DO???

My Motorola Android phone does the same thing-- keeps moving stuff around on the screen so I have to chase it. A couple of times it took me so long to find the phone button they hung up.

"Lock screen" must have some secret meaning.
