[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 943869, member: 69368"] For the type of internet user who thinks that G**gle is the internet the workarounds described above are going to mean they're on a steep learning curve and quite possibly end up deleting something else by mistake. Backup the Local State file! Eh! 🥱👎🏿 That is not meant as a patronising comment, people do access the internet via G**gle, Fakebook etc and don't have a clue how to do this type of action on their devices. With Chrome such a dominant force in the browser market this could annoy a lot of people over this weekend when they have more time to do their own things online. Maybe some will find an alternative browser and thus encourage alternatives to keep producing their products. If as hinted at in the BC article it has been caused by G**gle pushing out a configuration change, or feature change, to selected users, it might wake up some people to how little they (the user) are in control of their device.
