Nothing new, google's been censoring for ages for different purposes; political (China, Cuba), law compliance (there have been court orders to censor particular pieces in almost all countries), other (i.e. removing 'torrent' from autocomplete).

I used to use Notepad 2, but recently I switched to GEdit. It's fast and light yet fairly powerful, more than N2. (Off topic) Weren't you a Programmer's Notepad user? I still am. I use GEdit, PN and PSPad for different purposes. GEdit is the generic notepad. PN - for coding when I don't want IDE (t...

Indeed very fast.
But unfortunately it does show ads here and unlike ddg it doesn't seem to allow to turn them off.

Where do FF trademarks apply? They say "US and other countries". If something is in a place where Mozilla doesn't have trademarks, it doesn't infringe on them. Still, in some locations where FF has them, making a modified distro may be legal. There is no single trademark law, most countrie...

"Compiled" batches have no bug-free way to store relative paths. Therefore I recommend not to use it. Batches themselves are better. Looking into this: what about environment variables or temporary text files? Wow, an old thing. I don't know what do you mean by "environment variables...

Took some time.
