@streakmachine Don’t take up counselling!

@matigo British telly in Japan? That’s surprising. Or was it one of those Amazon/Netflix thingies?
@matigo Yes. I wonder if it’s purely relative (how colours relate to each other) or anchored in some absolute way humans respond to specific colours.
Odd behaviour by MS Edge. If I open a new window/tab when the Internet is off I get a fairly clean, neutral page where searches (once Internet is turned back on) go to DDG as desired. If I open a window/tab when I'm online it sucks a MS search/portal thingy (which I've made as clean as I can) from the net….though searches do go to DDG. I know the portal thingy is a web site because it takes a moment to load and sometimes you can see the U.R.L. on the tab for a split second.
Am I making too much of the forced visitation? Why can't I have a blank/neutral new tab?
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe that landing page is in the browser. There’s certainly no U.R.L. showing up top. But my word is it littered with Microsoft stuff.
Edge on Mac forces new tabs to always display a search page at a Microsoft site. In the app’s prefs there’s a new tab customise button but that just sends you to the aformentioned page (where you can presumably customise a landing page if you’re logged in. Not being able to make new tabs blank (or DuckDuckGo) is a deal breaker for me. I knew Microsoft making nice stuff was too good to be true.
