I've never seen that (on GH/GHE at least) using...
Firefox => Ubuntu
Firefox => Windows
Chrome => Windows
Lynx => CP/M (kidding)
Just tried it on Edge on Windows for poops and giggles and nothing. You got some sorta plugin installed?

No, definitely not a plugin. I hadn't seen this feature ever either and then I started seeing it in Brave. I actually quit using Brave and switched to Edge to get away from this feature.
Alas, I've now seen it in Edge.
Again, it is a weird set of circumstances to make it occur so that's why I'm interested in knowing if others have seen it.
Also, I've checked the Accessibility options on my Ubuntu settings and I don't see anything that would indicate that it should use this Accessibility feature.

It's all relative.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

CP Editors should include a "groan" emoji for response to these type of messages.

There are "roll eyes" and "not amused" emojis, which I've seen some people use for that kind of reaction.

I must've missed that one. Or has that been Grumpy Cat all along?

There's also an "angry" emoji, which I recall seeing a few times in response to a joke.
And I think someone asked for a "coat" emoji after I'd cut and pasted one as a reply.

I prefer the Rolleyes in the funny version. (Like whitsling and rolling eyes with an "nothing to see here" or "was I that?")

I just came back to my computer expecting to find: an Arduino IDE session, six Excel spreadsheets, various web pages pointing to the local Python web server that was running in a VS Code session alongside the five web pages that I was working on, and all the rest just as I left them... Not unreasonable I think!
What I actually find is that the system has been rebooted, and hidden away in an information log I find that "Windows successfully installed the following update: 2024-04..." at 5/13/2024 02:07:39
Idiots!
And someone asked if MS bashing was allowed - in my mind it is obligatory.

It actually de-hibernates my computer, installs updates and then leaves it running just to waste electricity and annoy me ...
Or worse, de-hibernates my computer, tries to shut down to install updates but finds a app - normally an MS app - that won't close so it leaves it running having not updated until I get up in the morning

Yup, so annoying. If it's hibernated, it should stay that way until I wake it up.
I've even shutdown completely and had it "wake up". How I don't know.

Well it's not like it doesn't give you warnings days ahead of time. Windows always warns me before it does something like that.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Sometimes. I've had this happen more times than I can say and sometimes there's a warning, sometimes not.
I often have stuff gnarly stuff open that I'm working on for days. A debug session running, docs I'm trying to update, a couple of remote sessions, and VSCode open in the middle of a horrible refactoring session. Sometimes you just can't break up tasks into smaller tasks because of how they all relate to each other so I just barrel through with the whole thing.
Usually Windows threatens to reboot - to which I say "oh no you don't". And sometimes Windows just...reboots.

I've been avoiding Windows client OSes (11/10/8.x/7/go back as far as you want) and stick with Windows Server just for that purpose. After all, a server OS should never reboot on its own, no matter the circumstances.
Well, Microsoft has proven me wrong on more than one occasion. I've posted about it here in the lounge. Then some people had the audacity of blaming me for giving the okay to install updates but then let it wait for my approval for the actual reboot. I've always done this in prior decades. At some point that behavior, even on server OSes, has changed.
