A huge issue is when one is googling for some obscure issue or error message at work, and end up in a fake website with NSFW content or banners.

I wonder, why Google hasn't moved to .google domains, as they own TLD? maps.google, mail.google, search.google seems to be shortest versions possible.

The main issue with 3rd party scripts is that each one wants to be the first to run. And they are usually the ones that take up the most CPU time and bandwidth. For some scripts "facade" solution might work even better than runnin

Thank you for providing more stable experience. Would be great if something could be done about some Unity web games, that sometimes crash whole browser. It is a bit peculiar, while each tab seemingly runs in separate process, but one websi

At least they have been experimenting with Tauri: https://github.com/martpie/museeks/discussions/639 . With File System Access API this probably can be a simple web app, no need for wrapper. File support migh

Take a look at postmarketOS ( https://postmarketos.org/ ), it is sort of "custom ROM", but it builds not Android OS, but Linux for your phone. Depending on your goals it might be easier to start than AOSP.

Would be great if they figured a way to add (buy) more games later, without buying new mini-console.

An alternative approach, especially if one does not have knowledge of reverse engineering and assembly, might be to identify what compression algorithm is used and usually you can find compression/decompression tools already written by

Maybe release it as an extension, so only people who need it can enable it for any website? Otherwise it's just another layer of "useless things to turn off", adding on already big pile of cookies consent, newsletter registra

Got startled by loud music. I think your notification should mention that after clicking music will start immediately and headphone users should be aware. Good tunes, nonetheless.

Add a paywall to videos and any other problematic content, fund production of subtitles that way. Or just move them to Patreon or similar platform, so they technically are on different website.

Sure, as standalone new CSS features look very useful, but when you start combining everything into one stylesheet it might quickly become hardly readable spaghetti code.

They don't have enough resources (developers) to implement "adding websites to desktop and running them in separate windows, as applications" support, yet they are wasting time to re-add "limited edition" themes. No
