Alt-tab to switch between browser tabs in Edge is new, a setting that you can turn off, and in some cases, it's actually very useful, since you can limit the number of tabs. It lets me treat recent tabs the same way as I would treat re

I honestly think it provides perverse incentives, especially in the Apple ecosystem, for Apple to leave their platforms barebones and apps simple. Instead of pushing their platforms and apps to provide the absolute best experience, they can

From my relatively short experience but ongoing with Mac, MacOS lacks a lot of features that Windows has. It has many inferior options that people just accept. Some people find third party software or modifying plists to bend the operating

I don't think leaving gaps for third-party developers at the system level is really necessary, however, in order to not inundate users with configuration options, platform choose their level of user choice and configuration. There is

I was also hoping to get some insight from WebExtension developers here! Two main questions: 1. How do you handle developing a cross browser extension these days? Firefox only supports manifest v2, Chrome only supports manifest v3. I was ju

Hey, this is a really great tool, thanks for making and sharing with us! One thing that I think would help is for the tool to not lose state when changing between tabs. You have the manual randomize color button, so it doesn't make sen

I agree with you on all points, I would just like to point out that Apple does not follow the same trial rules as they do for everyone else, unless something changed. When I first was trying out Apple Music with the trial period, there was

This is a great little time waster! Couple of recommendations, in no particular order: 1. Keep the ball moving even after you die. Instead of pressing start, the user will just click when the ball is back inside the colored area. 2. You can

When you download the audio file, its just called download.mp3 It should instead keep the name of the video file, and just have the mp3 extension. It looks like you already have this filename in the preview audio player widget. Also, there

I've been a big fan of Vivaldi for a while now. They seem really on top of adding features and customization options. Everything feels snappy and is a great balance of modern/performant UI. I use it as my work browser, and run Fir
