Extension named "Microslop" for Chrome
A Chrome add-on substitutes every reference to Microsoft with Microslop. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/01/13...microslop/
Windows with WinSock launched at a specific time, typically around October 2000.
Brings back memories of the Firefox add-on I used around eight years ago that swapped every photo of Donald Trump with Donald Duck.
I find these meme extensions amusing, but I’m worried about granting full page access to an unknown user.
These add-ons are also data harvesters. If you dislike all the Microsoft telemetry, it’s ironic that you add unnecessary extensions. It’s similar to those YouTubers who urge us to safeguard our data and switch to Linux, yet they also ask us to subscribe to their channels and follow them on social media. If you really dislike Microsoft, why bother reading articles or blogs about it? Just use Linux or Mac and enjoy a hobby that’s more interesting than obsessing over Microsoft. A regular person who doesn’t follow MS news can easily spend days without mentioning the company name.
It's honestly tough to wrap my head around it. Most news pieces and videos focus on Windows being terrible, Microsoft seems to be gone, and Copilot is selling your baby...! Plus, a quarter of the rest suggests Linux might be a better choice now, especially with Bill Gates looking pretty upset in the thumbnail! I’m not sure what the OP is actually looking for, but I do know Windows is in a really bad place and might not matter much soon.
I recently saw a YouTube clip discussing MS issues and Linux gaining market share. It came from a creator who posts similar content regularly. I didn’t notice it at first—this video was from five years ago. I’m looking for those kinds of videos for fun, not because I’m interested in the topic itself. Most people enjoy collecting stamps, watching steam trains, mountain bikes, or wrestling; they wouldn’t care about Linux/MS/privacy/homelab stuff. It’s not something I’d want to engage with. You need to show curiosity about a group to understand it better.
