Try this fix first:
For many, this issue goes away by simply reinstalling our Android app on your phone. We suggest giving this a try first.
That didn’t work, but this did:
Check that the correct device is selected in the top left of the SMS interface.
You may have an old device selected, which is preventing SMS from working correctly. Check that the correct device is selected in the drop down. You can remove old devices here.
It looks like all my old smartphones were still there despite not being a SIM card in them. Removing all but my active phone solved the problem.

I was shocked reading [WayBack] An alternative to Session Buddy: “Tabs Backup & Restore” · Issue #742 · deanoemcke/thegreatsuspender · GitHub: the save frequency is about 1 per browser restart. Which is quite odd when you use it to protect against tabs messing up (it happens, right when you do not expect it, after which a “Restore” by chrome fails too).
So after years of using
[Archive.is] Session Buddy – Chrome Web Store: Manage Browser Tabs and Bookmarks with Ease
I have switched away to
[WayBack] Tabs Backup & Restore – Chrome Web Store: With ‘Tabs Backup & Restore’ you will never lose your work again! Backup an entire Chrome session (windows and tabs).

I laughed when https://www.google.com/#q=visual%20studio%20code%20indent%20settings%20per%20file%20type got me the first link twice (see below screenshot).
But I was glad that that link to [WayBack] visual studio code – How to set per-filetype tab size? – Stack Overflow.
This one:
In addition, it taught me how to configure the settings.json with md specific settings, which – despite the IDE indicating the JSON is invalid – just works: markdown indentation is now 2 character positions.
"[md]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2
}
The search result:

Some sites do not have their TLS security set- up correctly. You can get around the page that Chrome then displays. This is called the “interstitial bypass”, you should use it with great care (not like one of the sites I visited a year ago that got themselves a nice ransomware attack), for instance on machines you can dispose off.

Most of my browser life is in Chrome, but the memory consumption and CPU usage has increased so much over time so it, err, become less than optimal.
Given the new FireFox is supposed to use far less memory and CPU than previous FireFox versions, I want to try it, but since so much of my Chrome life is about Chrome Extensions, I was glad to discover [WayBack] Chrome Store Foxified
