        Some websites (washingtonpost.com and wirecutter, for
instance) have URIs that end in / -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/11/13/america-first-woman-president-possible/
or https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/borax-for-laundry/ for
instance.  Every other browser I've tried makes up a name for the
file.  When I can't use lynx (washingtonpost.com no longer allows it;
I often use public computers, none of which have lynx.) I save files
to a flash drive, wrote a short utility to fix up their names.

        Why doesn't everyone do this?  Are they not smart enough?  I
can't think of a good reason.

        Sadly, multiple uses of duckduckgo have begun to request that
I answer a captcha.
