Yeah, that’s Google’s new recaptcha system.
Is this for real?

I've recently heard of some people living near the coast, carrying on an old local tradition of simply growing potatoes in seaweed instead of soil, adding a natural salty taste to them.

"rendering" the music and some of the graphics.
I think that's what's called procedural audio/graphics. For audio, it's like building synthesizers into the game, to then be able to play the music/fx as a program (sort of like sheet music) instead of an audio file.

Court blocks $1 billion copyright ruling that punished ISP for its users’ piracy

Yeah, it's somehow comparable to a scenario where they had the power to decide you can't use uber/taxi, or postal services, because you used it to transport the HDD you're using for your private collection of copyright-protected media.

There's are some OpenStreetMap-based apps that are worth checking out. Some of them are made for specific purposes, while other are for general navigation. I've tried some of them through the time with various success, though I've still haven't found a favorite to stick with for good. But I believe making the switch is definitely possible and probably worth it!
You can install all the mentioned apps through F-Droid:
Additionally, use Transportr for public transport navigation almost anywhere in the world, and GMaps WV, a restricted WebView wrapper for accessing the web version of Google Maps. Intended for use when OpenStreetMap isn't enough.

Router suggestions for a complete noob
So far I'm satisfied with our GL.INET Flint 2 (GL-MT6000). The price is within your range, and you can buy it directly from the manufacturer. It comes with OpenWRT and they've made it pretty easy to e.g. run your own wireguard VPN and AdGuard Home (like PiHole) for all your connected devices. The coverage is decent, and upgrading gave me WiFi in the second bathroom where the old router (10+ years old) could never reach. According to their own specs it has Wi-Fi speeds of 1148Mbps (2.4GHz) and 4804Mbps (5GHz), though I haven't made my own measurings to verify those, and VPN speeds are lower at 190Mbps wired for OpenVPN and 900Mbps wired for Wireguard. At least this router has been very stable for the half year we've had it, and I haven't experienced any bottlenecks from our modest usage.

Could the fact that you don't see the requests in Firefox be a sign that uBO actually works better in Firefox and worse in Chrome? Possibly something about manifest V3 being implemented? Or do you think the Firefox DevTools are just less advanced? Or something else?
I'm only speculating, but I believe uBO behaves differently between Chromium-based and Gecko-based browsers because Chrome is restricting the abilities of extensions like uBO to do their thing.
