Bookmarking this for my wife’s old car…

  1. Unlock all doors using the power door lock switch on door panel.
  2. Turn ignition from OFF to ON 8 times within 10 seconds, with the 8th time ending in ON. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming mode. (*ON is as far forward as you can turn without starting the vehicle*)
  3. Within 20 seconds press any button on first keyless remote. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming.
  4. Within 20 seconds, press any button on a second keyless remote. Door locks will cycle again to confirm programming. (*If you only have one remote to program skip step 4*)
  5. Turn ignition to OFF. Locks will again cycle to indicate end of programming mode.

I love the privacy of the Brave browser but a couple of things made me decide to switch back to Firefox:

  1. More and more sites seem to be dropping support for Brave. That seems very odd because Brave is based on chromium and Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers out there. This means that site developers are proactively detecting Brave and blocking its use. The reason is probably because Brave is one of the most effective browsers for blocking user tracking.
  2. Brave is based on Chromium which Google controls. Google is using its Chromium code to treat users like children, monopolize browser behavior, and break the web.

I still plan to use Brave Search since it’s the most private search engine and doesn’t censor its results.
