https://www.ghacks.net/2019/12/07/someone-found-a-way-to-bypass-windows-7-extended-security-updates-checks/
Looks like a security item to me.
Nope.
If you look at the entries in this thread, they aren't usually your one liners. :)

“Aw Snap!” Crash Makes a Comeback in Chrome 79
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/-aw-snap-crash-makes-a-comeback-in-chrome-79/
Keep your software updated and you don't have that problem.
Even better stop using Symantec and change to Avast. :)

Block 3rd party cookies in Chrome and other (Chromium based) Browsers
Use the following in the address bar:
chrome://settings/content/cookies
Follow this:



This also works in the Avast Secure browser just change what you type in the address bar to this,
secure://settings/content/cookies

This should work in many Chromium based browsers with slight modifications.
In the new Edge (Chromium based) Browser, use the following,
edge://settings/content/cookies
