I use hnapp.com to make multiple custom RSS feeds with specific point ranges. I only read the highest ranked feeds that I have time for. This isn't a perfect solution, I miss a lot of interesting stuff that doesn't reach my point

The solution is an extension called Temporary Containers. You have to turn it to "Automatic mode", and fiddle a bit with the settings, but I have it set up so that every time I open a new tab it is a fresh isolated session, and wi

I just wish it will be something like GNU Taler[0], that may actually improve consumer privacy, instead of getting rid of the last bits of it. [0] https://taler-systems.com/en/digital-currency.html

As many have mentioned, w3schools ranks high because it is actually used a lot more than MDN. People love it because they don't have to read. Just copy and paste and you can get back to work. And that's fine. It's a nice thou
