"These laws have nothing to do with protecting kids, and everything to do with stripping adults of their privacy" - False. These laws are aimed solely at getting kids away from social media addiction.

Did anyone expect there would be 100% compliance?

Nothing to do with "stripping adults of their privacy", where did you get that idea, it's not true

Here in Queensland where I live in Australia we've the same thing with e-bikes and kids, the showing off without a helmet, injuries & death etc,

We've new laws that aim to reduce the carnage (ask any hospital emergency department professional) and limit e-bike and e-scooter speed to 25 km/hr (divide by 1.6 for mph) or 12 km/h on footpaths.

This one may be of interest :-
"E-scooter, e-skateboard and e-unicycle riders must be aged 16 years or older to ride unsupervised. Children aged 12-15 can ride only under adult supervision.
Parents will be fined for under 16s riding illegally."

No one expects that there will be 100% adherence but it makes a line in the sand & I've not heard any negatives now it's in place.

Any particular bugs in Firefox bothering you? I've not stopped using it since the start. Then when Google removed don't be evil I was less tempted to switch to Chrome. In my day job I use both, because Chrome had profiles before Firefox, but I'm not surfing the web at work.

Sure there are some websites where the odd bit doesn't work, but that is rare in my experience. And I expect due to their coding it wrong (by accident) rather than a Firefox bug.
