Hi Ryan,

This setting from Google continues to move around constantly. The article has once again been updated and it includes “Data sites have saved to your device.”

Hope this helps.

If you’re using the latest version (Jan 2024,) you can jump right to the setting at: chrome://settings/content/siteData

Give that a shot.

Those commands were literally tested in Ubuntu Linux and worked fine. If you’re getting errors, I need more specifics to help troubleshoot it for you.

Comment on How to Add the Open command window here Option Back to the Windows Right-Click Menu by Jack https://www.groovypost.com/howto/add-command-prompt-option-explorer-context-menu/#comment-1232877 Fri, 12 Jan 2024 17:37:46 +0000 http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/xp/add-command-prompt-option-to-explorer-context-menu/#comment-1232877 In reply to Christopher Chiesa.

Kudo’s to you Christopher C. for getting your sentiments posted here. I agree with you but mine are much more aggressive and vulgar. I made 3 attempts to reply to the “windows” commenter but kept getting blocked, most likely because of my very un-flattering statements about MS’s philosophy regarding their lack of user friendliness. They do have one, but friendliness is not in their vocabulary.

I did that on my still running Windows XP Pro 64 desktop a decade ago. No Such option exists on my Windows 10 Pro 64 laptop.

If you tapped the X icon in the top right corner of the screen asking you to subscribe, it allows you to use the app without subscribing.

Article states that Polycam is free, but when I attempted to open the app, I had to create an account, and then I was greeted with a screen message which (paraphrased) obligated me to being automatically charged the subscription fee after a 7-day free trial.
I could not use the free trial without agreeing to pay after seven days.
