I got the Dutch message “Google is gestopt” on an older Android device which translates to the below English error message “Google has stopped”.
Below is the solution based on [WayBack] Google is stopped – OnePlus Community
- Go to “Settings”
- In “Settings” go to “Apps”
- In the application list, browse to “Google”
- Uninstall all updates (sometimes this is under the hamburger or 3-dot icon)
- Confirm
- Start the Google Play Store
- Update the “Google” application

Device: OnePlus 6 – Wikipedia
Android 11 is in a staged rollout since mid August 2021:
You can force update to Android 11:

“Island” is a sandbox environment to clone selected apps and isolate them from accessing your personal data outside the sandbox (including call logs, contacts, photos and etc) even if related permissions are granted. Device-bound data is still accessible (SMS, IMEI and etc).
Isolated app can be frozen on demand, with launcher icon vanish and its background behaviors completely blocked.

The discussion on Yahoo closing Answers tonight quickly went from alternative text based question/answer sites to long YouTube videos having hardly any content but ads, to blocking these ads: [Wayback] Yahoo sluit Answers-dienst na vijftien jaar en verwijdert inhoud – IT Pro – Nieuws – Tweakers
So here are some links where I can learn a bit of browser plugin and Android development technology as well:
(What I dislike most about ads is that they start at unnatural positions in the stream and cover topics I’m totally not interested in).
