Falling behind on the browser core makes users leave Firefox because the one non-negotiable requirement users have is that the browser works on the websites they need it to work on. Literally nothing else Mozilla tries to do to diversify t

There wasn't much of a window where we had the ability to reliably dynamically update webpages without a way of getting data to do it. IE4 was the first browser that had a modern dynamic DOM with CSS support -- but it was all very

Notarization doesn't involve any sort of editorial control. It's just a virus scanner that's run up front and then stapling an attestation to your application that it passed the scan. It does not involve looking at the con

Azure Trusted Signing is a crapshoot. If you can get running, it's easy and fast and great. But if you run into any problems at all during the setup process (and you very well might since their onboarding process is held together w

The length of time notarization takes depends primarily upon how large and complicated your app is, and how different is from previous versions of the same application you've previously notarized. The system seems to recognize large b

Notarization doesn't blanket block all access to private APIs; but the notarization process may look for and block certain known accesses in certain cases. This is because notarization is not intended to be an Apple policy enforce

There's a significant difference between a site being useless because it just doesn't have the breadth yet to cover the topic you're looking for (as in early Wikipedia); versus a site being useless by not actually having fact

That's a truism in general. If you're liberal in what you accept, then the allowances you make effectively become part of your protocol specification; and if you hope for interoperability, then everyone has to be follow the sam
