Are there ZERO good browsers?

Browsers are insanely hard to make. They are very complex systems. That means resource heavy to maintain in general. What makes them costly. This construct derails so easily.

With that being said, from an ethical standpoint it's probably somewhat like this currently:

  • Servo
  • Librewolf
  • Other FF forks (Zen, Waterfox, Glide)
  • Firefox
  • Orion
  • Vivaldi
  • Safari
  • Chromium
  • Ladybird
  • Edge
  • Chrome
  • Brave

Mozilla is not cool/super, but also not the worst.

Why do a majority of nation's flags use the rectangular shape except Nepal?

Historically, triangular shaped flags in South Asia were very common, since it was compact in size so the flag furled even with the lowest wind, thus making it visible over long distances. The flags of almost all states in South Asia were once triangular. Nepal has simply maintained its ancient tradition, while every other state has adopted a rectangular or square version in the European vexillological tradition.

No. What we need is freaking DNS for phone numbers. I don't get why this isn't a thing.

So you can actually register a bunch of numbers under the same name. If DoctorSocks.med calls, you know it is them regradless whether it's the front desk or what not.

If [email protected] calls, you know it's the number of that particular person.

In that way you can even establish curated lists. On a govermental, but also on a community level.
