Wow, all platforms taken into account, worldwide, Firefox users only accounted for 3.54% last month.

Looking at the diagram, there's now basically just Chrome and a bit of Safari.

Does the Chrome count also have the Chromium-based browsers such as Brave?

I don't think it does. A Google search targeted at their website for "Chromium" returns several market share pages about specific countries where Chromium is listed separately with a very small percentage.

An old TV special. I first saw this years ago, and it's not that special (no pun intended), but when I run into it now and then I still find myself rewatching it.

A video that, weirdly, provides a 720p quality option but fails to load at 720p.
At least, for me. (Not just just now, I noticed this days ago.) Quality 360p works.

There's going to be an Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2. It's entertaining how people continue to find new ways of using (more and more powerful) technology for fun stuff.

The recently released Elden Ring, a Souls-like by FromSoftware, gets extremely good reviews. The only criticism I've seen is the performance of its PC port. Metacritic doesn't have PS4/XOne scores (yet), but its PS5 and Xbox X scores are respectively at 97 (63 reviews) and 96 (13 reviews), with... not a single critic's score under 90! Currently, of all games ever created, it's #19 at Metacritic, and #2 at OpenCritic.

[Edit: And, of course, the reverse, by searching for "in minor" or "in minor key".]
[Edit 2: Good example is "We Are the World": original and minor.]
Another example.
