I doubt it. According to statcounter, XP's market share was 1.75% in March; Windows 98SE's share was 2.7% in July 2006 when it ended support. Nonetheless. there is still the possibility that later today (4/1) M$ may make the decision to extend XP support forever...

This is Windows XP at the U.S, Customs and Border Protection checkpoint at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, as shown on a new episode of the TV series Border Security: America's Front Line. The episode did premiere this month, though there's been a 2 1/2 year gap between seasons, so this was likely filmed in 2017 or 2018.

That's a very nice addon by Infocatcher, thanks VL for telling me about it. It's not quite the same as container tabs, it's basically a private window in a tab instead but it's so much nicer and convenient than opening it up in a window. Lots of options too; I like being able to easily toggle between a regular tab and a private one. Definitely a keeper. Container tabs have a different function in the way they keep cookies and history separated between the tabs. Maybe Roy can bring that back too the way he did webextensions? Don't want to push our luck on this but I wish the main guys would stop removing useful features, you'd think they were Mozilla or something.

All one has to do is look at Quantum to know how true that statement is. It's one of the main reasons for using forks like basilisk in the first place.

Was hoping that MultiFox would be a good alternative but it's got obvious bugs. One is that noscript breaks when opening a new profile in a new window, at least with google voice. I'll keep playing around with it but it's not as straightforward as container tabs. The other option is private windows, that is until that gets cleaned up too. I'm afraid if they keep doing that there will be nothing left of the browser and no reason to use it.

Really? That is great news--and it sounds pretty definite! I'll contact the relevant media outlets, etc., to make sure everybody knows. I can hardly wait for tomorrow.

Not going for politics man but Satya Nadella think windows is now secondary business for Microsoft.
