The federal government asked Google to turn over information on anyone who viewed multiple YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.

    Either because they’ve never heard of it, they think it’s difficult to set up, or they think it’s less polished or reliable.

      I’d go with “because they’ve never heard of it”. It’s no more difficult to setup than any other application. See the download page.

        Oh, it’s not, they just think it is. I have personal experience of this.

          Are you saying it’s not easy to install? If so, what’s the difficulty?

            I’m saying it is easy to install, but people think it isn’t.

              Ah, gotcha. Yeah, not sure what can be done to improve that. Installation methods are only a click away 🤷
