chrome.com redirects to www.google.com/chrome/

No one has to download Edge or Safari.

Technically Edge can also be installed on macOS/Linux/iOS/Android.

Where was it before? Been using Firefox non stop for 20 years but last time I went to the website was probably when I still used Windows XP.

I always liked https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ but that's not the primary consumer page.

It’s been a couple of years. But even the oldest iPad - the one from 2010 - was able to download the “last compatible version” and stream Netflix.

Even an older iPad can run Netflix and Plex and maybe a couple of other streaming apps. You should be able to use it for Spotify and definitely Apple Music.

Maybe not the oldest version any more: https://x.com/fcbunn/status/1565036107049336832

Tangential, is there any good smooth scrolling PDF viewer (for windows at least), that offers some level of customisation of view? (Like 2 pages side by side, and ideally dark mode and full top to bottom pages with hidden toolbars.)

Adobe Viewer (? not sure of the name) was the only adobe product that had this ability afaik, and while I managed to get an old exe, it's been discontinued unfortunately.

The closest appears to be Xodo PDF with pretty much all features, but it has a ton of popups.

Maybe Sumatra PDF?

Ads and many online features can be removed before installation of Adobe Reader by customizing the installer using the Adobe Reader Customization Wizard for Windows [1], where there is an optional labeled "Disable Upsell" [2]. There might also be a version for macOS [3]. It might also just be possible to just directly set the appropriate "FeatureLockDown" options in the registry/preferences in your system [4].
