> Unlike Google they actually listen to their users. They were awesome during youtube-dl debacle.

>>I have developed a rekindled hatred for M$ in the past few weeks trying to install firefox on a fresh installation of windows 10.
Install a Package Manager like Chocolety [1], AppGet [2] or the new "Official" one WinGet
>>I couldnt find a simple, one-click way to change all these. I had to go over them one-by-one.. (.doc, .docx, .dochtml, .docxhtml, .xls, .xlsx, .xlshtml, .xslsxhtml,....)
