- get rid of the suggested, stories, news feeds, widgets

So only get funding from the search deals? Also a lot of users love widgets.

- fix the update schedule so it doesn't brick randomly during the day until I restart it

Agree on this one

- get rid of accounts, ship a password manager extension by default if people can't be bothered to use one (I know accounts are here to stay, just make them... less)

There is a built in password manager without the need of accounts, I agree that accounts are pushed a little bit too much.

- When I download a browser I don't want 20 forced popups/check boxes asking me to import this, import that, sign in, improve my experience, make default, get rid of all of it

Because you know what you are doing. This doesn't apply to 98% of tech illiterate users, who won't know how to access the settings to import/change stuff later.

Also Vangelis was pretty much inspired by Byzantine Greek Music which was inspired by Ancient Greek music which was played in the ancient theater 2 millennia ago.

Tyrant? You may disagree with him, but he got in through the system. Now if he doesn't get out that is another story.

While income taxes are low for the majority ( the salaries are low anyway) the indirect taxing is the way the Greek Goverment managed to recover.

The prices of everyday goods rose (sometimes more than double) and the profits from VAT(24%) with them.

High duties on fuel + fuel price went up, combined with rent prices (living far away from your workplace) => longer work commute, bad infrastructure and older vehicles ( no money to buy a fuel efficient one when you are poor)

Liberalization of the energy market forced by EU which lead to extreme prices. (new companies that don't produce anything got in the middleman position with only goal higher profits)

In summary, everything has been and continues to be done at the expense of the majority (low-wage earners), while making them even poorer.
