Ben oui ! je comprends (un peu ) l'allemand, mais j'ai partout dans cette m..rd.e de PC des milliers de paramétrages en français, et ça ne vient pas . En plus, toutes ces cochonneries d'extensions proposées, indispensables et nécessaires, ou non! et nuisibles ! ou non, on doit les évaluer si c'est un spam un pirate un russe un méchant un pédophile un Weinstein un abuseur de toutes sortes, et à la fin on ne sait pas, et un se dit que Bluewin et Microsoft ce sont des gentils, et on installe ! Et ça va planter, pas par méchanceté, mais par problème interne. Grrrrrrrr : vous pourriez mettre de la IA là-dedans, pour anticiper et voir si ça va ****** ou pas ?
