The Google thing isn't an issue with your laptop. Google has been making changes "under the hood" again and has screwed up a lot of third party things using their services -- including disabling the ability of extensions that use CSS to modify the appearance of Google pages (as one of many examples). They're basically trying to grab an even tighter hold of the reigns with which has virtually dominate the internet.
Can't help ya with the Skype issue... Sorry....
There are very many reasons for so many of us to hate Google! I remember a friend who, as an aspiring writer, had everything stored on Google Reader, only to lose the lot when they scrapped it. Then Panoramio a few years later and so on and so forth.
Yes, you see both purple and white wisterias with purple predominating as you might expect.
One day I might even get round to righting my Cornish cooast upload!
Thank you and have a good day.
About Google: I love it (G-translate) and I hate it (their indifferent power of a dominant market position).
Sorry that I can't help solving the problems, but I hope to support you herewith in your greeve and anger.
I have no idea what is up with your browsing. Maybe a strict default firewall setting after the new system installation??
However if google refuses of a sudden to send you on to some website on older software you trust and use often, until you have to click off countless unsettling security warnings and "Are you sure you want do that" double checks, store the shortcut to the site in the favorites and simply dont ask Google for it's oppinion. ;o)
If some weird page you shall agree to cookie use first comes up after going to a site you have known before and never did run into such dialogues, that's neither Windows nor Google, that's just the new law they can not collect data without informing you as they did before. Guess it's a thing happening in the whole EU, not just Germany. Now a person may decide conciously if one still want to use them and check the agreement, or leave if they do not allow for use but opt out of the data usage. Of course it sucks of sorts that one gets now confronted with the agreement forms several times a day but it is a result of transparency customer protection agencies fought very hard for. I have noted especially some free online dictionaries being quite agressive data vampires and allowing for no opt out of collecting. They live from selling info what themes you try to talk in a second language about it seems.
