Thanks for the feedback. A lot of those features do make sense, but I'm wondering about something like a "file picker." iOS devices have abandoned the concept of a file system from the users perspective. I don't think

With these types of incidents, you want to make sure you have the facts before you make claims. They are probably doing tons of investigation to figure out what actually happened. This could be difficult depending on the level of sophisti

This is interesting. Does Googles mobile chrome browser have something similar on Android? I'm not really a huge fan of advertising but this seems like a feature that would make a certain group of users choose one browser over anothe
