Clicking on the picture doesn't do anything. I can move the bottom scroll bar and read the first paragraph but I can't see any further.

Beats me. Works fine from here. All I can suggest is download it -- can you even do that?

Yeah, the little box in the lower right corner said menu and download copy was one of the options and that worked.

Glad to see people talking solutions. Larry Ellison will fund a Google-free Android-fork. Big Tech will not be big after half of America boycotts it.

The concept is great. The way things tand now, its as if Ford could, unilaterally and preemptively determone where your Ford can go and who/what you can haul inside it. This is not right.. Apple do NOT own me, nor are they my Nannie.
But I'm not certain Musk is the best guy to take this on. Observing his antics withhis silly cars, including hijacking gummit to support that project, has left me underwhelmed.
But who else? SOMEONE ELSE has to have hwat it takes to launch a new no nannie free phone. Perhaps if Musk did pull it off, despite my wn misgivings, it would send Apple and Google a very important message: you britches are nowhere near as big as you think they are. And that can only be a good thing. Busting up the gangs is desparately needed these days.
