   Indeed. I'm no stranger to creating new browser profiles for different things, and the first thing I do when setting up a new profile (in Firefox) is to install uBo. I have it turned off in one profile for sites that break when using i

   Does anyone use Safari exclusively for all their browsing? I've heard great things about DuckDuckGo's browser, Firefox Focus, (Vanilla) Firefox, Brave, Opera, etc. I try to minimize the apps I have installed, but when it comes t

   I personally love being singularly focused on a passion project / labor of love, and try not to spread myself thinly across multiple projects. I have recently given up research-and-development type scenarios where I tinker with new toy

    I'm not tired of discussing code at work (I actually find that healthy). It's these web developer types you see on social media who talk about Javascript all day, but rarely, if ever, build anything with it. It's very meta. I

    Anyone know if this breaks on legacy hardware running legacy browsers? Yes people largely use modern hardware, but there's always eccentric folk with old hardware who like to browse the web on old browsers (for whatever reason).
