I've used 1password for more years I can count on my hands, and am satisfied with it. I share vaults with family members which is extremely handy with my aging parents.

I haven't really tried much else. I see no reason to switch.

Can confirm this.

I'm seeing this kind of thing on an ever increasing number of sites in Germany. It's especially galling on sites I already pay a subscription fee for! Isn't that enough? Now I'm supposed to pay another monthly subscription to avoid tracking cookies?

I've already cancelled one news website due to this, letting them know why (they're small enough that I know they read it, since it was part of a conversation). Fat lot of good it'll do, but ....

It's not updates. I took care of those myself. It's fully up to date in all ways, just sitting there restarting.

These both seem like known issues with the pixel 8. Can someone tell me if the pixel 9 is better in the reliability department?

This already exists. There's a banana (in Vietnam, but I'd assume not just there) that's smallish and rounder than most others which has a distinctly sour taste that reminds me strongly of apple. Ymmv, taste being a very subjective thing.
