Nothing wrong with this but their panel has gotten a bit pushy 😄 Still love their service.

I misread that as Upsetting.

I don't know what the story with backups is... When I set it up, it said backups are free. But now it shows that I have over 200 backups, and that's 25 cents they're owed for them.

On Safari, the options to opt out of a backup doesn't work, and I'm currently arguing with support who doesn't seem to be able to move past "resize your browser window" and "try another browser." (It works on Chrome, but they should be able to investigate it at least.)

Interesting...I used Safari yesterday and today, on two separate computers, without issue. macOS Ventura 13.2.1.

Not saying your issue isn't genuine, just I haven't seen it.

Also zero issue with Safari, though I typically use the Vultr site in Edge as it doesn’t often play nice with my content blockers.

I figured at least one person on the planet might use that browser 😆

I use 7 browsers at once with tens of tabs because I am lazy. Some have issues with memory allocation, weird behaviour (like in pop-ups with the cookies stuff, no matter what i choose it stays up in comodo) others are simply not playing nice with some sites. I am not blocking anything and most are using the same engine, at times I wonder WTF...

Not sure how it started, but didn’t want to use Chrome and needed something compatible to test against so… Edge. 🤷‍♂️

Frankly, it’s terrible and keeps pushing a load of crap - most recently the permanent Bing button. But I haven’t got around to replacing it because it kinda just works for the intended purpose.
