How about modernizing the old animated gif/flash sites so they work in modern browsers? I've started on hamster dance[0] and leekspin[1], but the sounds leave something to be desired (hamster dance is more annoying than I remember

Having run into similar problems multiple times, the solution is to clear cache on an app. If, like me, sorting your apps by storage usage never actually completes[1], browsers are a good thing to check first[2]; Unity games are a good seco

Not everything needs to be constantly plugged. My desktop doesn't even have Bluetooth in it. I'm quite happy with the USB A ports on my PC when it comes to plugging in mice, keyboards, USB storage, etc. If you use USB devices on a

Unfortunately, even this isn't perfect. For example, when running Tetris from WEP, the colors are off/weird (I'm guessing a color depth issue). It is, however, good enough to run just about any old crap I've given it.

The Eye might have these, they have a bunch of old Microsoft/msdn related stuff.

Wasn't 64-bit windows 2k/64 itanium-based, not x86-based? If so it would have required supporting existing binaries compiled for a different architecture. My understanding is that the only 16-bit support in 64-bit windows is a few

Side loading is unnecessary. Firefox is available on both the play store and Fdroid (not sure if it's in the default Fdroid repo, but I know there's at least one third party repo with official builds)

At least you get a free cable with it. With $20 RRP, I sure hope the entire cable is gold plated, not just the connectors.

Also, you might be interested in brow.sh, as it should provide easily readable, clean HTML that only contains visible elements. It should be better than dumping pages from links, as it supports scripting.

I believe you can disable Chrome's reader mode in flags. I know you can force it to show up on all pages, as that's how I have it set up on my tablet (I use Firefox and Brave primarily, with Chrome or Bromite as a fallback)

I hadn't realized the content was actually signed; I assumed we were simply trusting Google to send us the content they said they were sending (much like we do when using the Google cache). I'm curious now: would it be possible to

Brow.sh has nearly this exact functionality already in built-in http server; you can open up basically any website in your browser and get plain html (though rendered in a single font size/style, as it's really intended for consol

Pihole helps with native ads and ads in apps, though. Not as much as a real blocker, but you can't really use one of those in native apps with webviews (if you use bromite webview on android, it might be possible, not sure, but that st

Your website styles are off slightly, such that when I zoom in, then zoom back out, there's white margin at the left, next to any colored backgrounds. Also, on too small a screen, the browser extension text goes off both sides, rather

There's definitely a few exceptions, though they're mostly minor annoyances or caused by apps that expect you to be permanently online with a good connection. The most frequent one I've seen on Android is swiping down while (

My understanding is that hosting companies use hashes of known material in combination with automated scanning. Also, that some companies may not want to tell you much about how they do it, because the act of identifying it means looking at

I no longer have issues with tar since I found out that most systems I use don't need the compression format anymore, and are happy to figure it out themselves. Not sure if it works with compressing or not (I generally use 7z or zip),

That's because with zip (and tar, and other archivers) you can have multiple items to move to a destination archive. You can also do that with cp and mv if you need to, using `-t`. `cp -t .dotfiles/ .nanorc .bash*`. Generally mor

Any possible chance of supporting third party sync? I'd love to have Brave (my primary mobile browser) sync natively with Firefox (my primary desktop browser).

Disable JavaScript and Twitter magically becomes...almost useable. You can only view one image at a time. Other than that, proper conversations are readable. As someone who visits Twitter approximately every other month, it works for me.
