Same. The Mozilla organization has not covered themselves in glory over the past few years. And I like some of the things Brave is doing. But using a Chromium browser is a non-starter for me. I will not switch to one until I have no other c

In baseball, coaches and managers are all ex-players, but not necessarily good ex-players. (Well, anyone who plays in MLB is “good”, but relative to the rest of the league I mean.) Just like in other industries, the skills required for a

That’s not what happened. Cingular was jointly owned by SBC and BellSouth. The two companies merged, and SBC also bought out AT&T and rebranded themselves. Once Cingular was solely owned by a company named AT&T, it was rebranded to
