Use this link by Google to open Tasks standalone:
https://tasks.google.com/embed/?origin=https://calendar.google.com&fullWidth=1
If you have multiple Google accounts logged in at the same time, you can add the target account to the link url like so:
https://tasks.google.com/embed/?origin=https://calendar.google.com&fullWidth=1&authuser=example@...

You now have a web interface for Google Tasks on https://tasksboard.app/

Unfortunately, like the "Birthdays" calendar, you can't unsubscribe or otherwise remove the "Tasks" calendar. The best you can hope to achieve is to not have any entries appear in your calendar (by de-selecting it).
The Tasks widget on the right is at least hide-able/removable. (Click the close button on the widget or minimize the whole panel.)

Click on the drop down arrow next to Reminders in your calendar list. There should be an option to switch back to Google Tasks.

I recently set up the following Stylish script as a very hackish workaround for this:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.google.com/calendar") {
.calListChip[title='Tasks'] {
display: none;
}
#calcontent.eui-t .calListRow {
height: unset;
line-height: unset;
max-height: 19px;
}
....

Here is what I do:
reduce my remaining uncompleted task list as much as I can.
create a new task list with a very similar name
move the remaining uncompleted tasks to the new list
DELETE the old list. Google will warn you that the old list will be permanently deleted. Say yes. Done.

(See also: my accepted answer)
The closest answer that I have is renaming an existing list.
Edit: Adding example
If you have:
List A
List C
List B
List D
And want A B C D, then rename
List A
List B -> C
List C -> B
List D
This requires emptying out or moving tasks between lists to make sense, but it allows the list order to be as desired.

At this time the Google Apps (Calendar, Gmail, Keep, Now ) don't have either a user interfaces' command or API's class for the new reminders to convert a Google task to a Google reminder.
An alternative could be the use of a user script1 that use the Google Tasks API or Google Apps Script.
Notes:
1 A user script is a code snippet that changes the look ...

The short of it is go to Actions under Tasks then select Clear Completed Tasks. Unfortunately as Google states in the link up above this just hides them, but unless you select to view them again, they're out of sight. There is no bulk delete or delete upon completion setting. Only deleting 1 task at a ...

Install the android app Gtasks before uninstalling Astrid. This app will ask if you want to import astrid tasks. Answer Yes and you are done ! GTasks syncs with Google tasks and your calendar. Took only 5 minutes to setup.

I did not do anything, yet today (8 months after I asked this question) I noticed that Tasks reappeared in my list of calendars. I cannot explain it.

I use a particular task list for packing for trips. It's gotten quite extensive over the years. The only way I've found that keeps me from unchecking every task in my list is that I've created a handful of primary tasks, each of those contain many sub-tasks. So when I check the primary task it'll mark all of the sub-tasks as complete. Conversely when you ...

I did not find any answer on the web so I felt free to explore. I saw that putting tasks as uncompleted and then marking them as completed UNCLEARS them.
I know it would be hard with a lot of tasks but didn't find another way. Best luck!

To mark all completed tasks as uncomplete, I wrote this little snippet in some spare time today, which you can run in the browser console (F12) of a modern browser, when the "completed tasks" list is open in Gmail. If it doesn't work, let me know, but it worked for me.
var checkboxes = document.getElementById('tasksiframe').contentWindow.document

Here's a short script I wrote that copies tasks with due dates to the calendar (which you can set to have reminders for)

If you want to display Tasks in Calender you have to enable it from the left panel under "My Calenders".
Once you click on it, a panel on right with Tasks will appear.

Figured this one out - hit the Cog when viewing your calendar and switch your view (temporarily) from "Compact" to "Cozy". An arrow will appear on the divider between your calendar and task list. Click that! Then you can switch back to "Compact".

The latest version of Google Calendar Android app shows all your reminders from Google Now and Keep as well.

For your second question, you could create a checklist/tasklist on Keep and share it with your friends or family.

I'm also an old Google Tasks Canvas user, and I built a complete replacement web app for it (with upgrades) called GTaskD that you can use for free: https://tasks.gtaskd.com/
Warning: 2019-08-30 is the date that Google will get rid of multiple levels of subtasks in the API itself (as opposed to just their interfaces), so third party apps won't be able to ...

I used simplegamer solution with tasks.google.com/embed link but for javascript I prefer greasemonkey, so you save 1 click every time.

In September 2020, I noticed that the web client has added grippers to re-order task lists under the list selection dropdown once the mouse hovers over the list name. (The mobile version does not have this yet.)

If you own all your Calendars, you can drive Tasks and Reminders to the bottom of the list by changing the names all of your calendars to be alphanumerically above R. I use numbers to make them appear in order of importance.
For example
Events
01 Routine
02 Paid Work
03 Family
Tasks
Reminders

Almost, but not quite. (At least, with Gmail and Google Calendar alone.)
While you're reading your message, open the "More" menu and choose "Add to Tasks".
This will add a task to your Google Tasks with the subject of your message as the text of the task and a link to the email message.
Click the arrow to go to the "more" menu for that item.
Then choose ...

Google replaced the Tasks calendar with Reminders. You can switch back by clicking the reminders drop down arrow and select "Switch to Tasks".

This doesn't seem possible. Further, Google Tasks has been mostly deprecated in favor of Reminders, so I doubt there will be any further development by Google to improve Tasks.

I have built an app to share Gmail tasks lists: http://gmailsharedtasks.com/how-it-works
Notes:
With GmailSharedTasks you will be able to sync task lists updates
like creation, deletion and updates on due, notes and title.
GmailSharedTasks syncs task lists in 1 minute.
You will be able to share hierarchical tasks.
And last but not the least ...

There is now a great, free, third-party solution for sharing/syncing Google Tasks. It's still in beta and not quite perfect yet, but gets the job done.
http://www.isynctasks.de/
A few notes:
You can only provide edit permission, not view permission
You don't have control over how often it syncs, but it's roughly every 15 minutes.
It only syncs tasks that ...

Well, I wrote a "simple script" which implements recurrent tasks in Google Tasks.
Published in the Chrome Store: Recurrent Tasks for GTasks
After installing it you can create a recurrent task by adding recurrence pattern to task notes. In your case:
*E 1 W 35
Which means "every one week on 3rd and 5th day".
Simple!
