Wow, that's amazing! Let me know how recoll works for you, if you try it. It can search within XML stuff like word docs, PDFs and can even do OCR.

Yeah YouTube music specifically has been doing this for many many months, I'm fairly certain. I always removed it before sending songs to friends. Until then it was just &feature=share but no…

Just an extra step, it's a single toggle in about:extensions. Bonus: it let's them use extensions on their filesystem instead of only the chrome webstore.

Yeah, hibernate is weird on linux. Even after getting it working, there are a few warts with amdgpu for example. I really appreciate distros that add an ext4 label to your root partition, so that you …
