My problem with click to play — which I used for a few years on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, with extensions before it was built-in — is that your browser still reports to the website that you have Flash installed. At this point, most sites

I uninstalled Flash a few months ago and don't miss it. I mostly use Firefox, but I do keep Chrome around, so I could use Chrome's Flash if I wanted to, but I don't think I have so far. The only site I commonly visit that do

Tony Judt said it best: Under Salazar, "Portugal was largely dependent upon the export or re-export of primary commodities, including its own people." ( Postwar , pg 511, https://books.google.com/books?id=xE1hBBF37

Following the "Learn more" link under Laptops & Hybrids just takes me to http://store.hp.com/us/en/cat/Laptops with no Ubuntu in sight. (FWIW I'm in the US.)

I've haven't noticed any problems myself. I run mostly Firefox Beta on OS X, Linux, and Android and have been using it since late May.

Another option for Firefox is the built-in "tracking protection". It is off by default, but can be enabled via about:config (set privacy.trackingprotection.enabled to true). Works on Android, too.

Nice, thanks. I knew the Nexus devices were supported, but I prefer smaller phones.

Are there instructions for that device anywhere?

A reading list, be it a feature or service, has a workflow suited to easily add and remove articles and view them as a simple list. You can do this with bookmarks — and I do at the moment because it's the best way I've found to sy

A couple weeks ago I dug searched a bit through Bugzilla and the Mozilla wiki. My understanding is that it was cancelled while in progress in favor of Pocket. They also changed the Reading View styles to match Pocket's (the sepia style

I don't mind using Pocket as the backend, but I want it to work more like Android's Reading List (and the reading list that was available briefly in desktop Nightly). I want articles to • be readable (and savable) offline; • open

I get that and thought I would like it, but I guess I still use the (web) apps and the web browser quite differently. I hope further refinements change my mind! More specifically, I tend to open and close a lot of tabs, which involves more

I used a Keon as my only phone for summer 2013 – summer 2014. Basic apps were good, but — ironically for a web-based phone — the browsing experience was my biggest negative. Not the actual page layout/etc. — that is just Gecko and wo

San Francisco is at least more readable than Helvetica Neue. Lucida is gone, but it can't get much worse than it is now.

It's even more fun if you teach them "sleep" too, so it will start speaking at unexpected times.

Maybe not no use, but if this means desktops are as locked down as phones, I'm not interested. If it means I get admin rights on my phone, even if only in desktop mode, then I'm interested.

It also has a reading view feature.

That's a good point, and countess has a pretty early attestation. Thinking about French too, con is pretty close to comte , although I don't know the history, and con is not obscene like in English currently. The Wikipedia pa
