Spidermonkey is quite embeddable by itself [1]. On Linux things like polkit, couchdb, mongodb use it. Still, the compilation process seems to download the whole firefox tarball and only compiles the JS related parts [2, 3]. [1] https:&#x2F

Well, Worldometer just shows the official data. They can hide the fact that North Korea has no data at all but China is way to big to do it. If the official data is a plain lie there's nothing they can do. If they put a banner warning

Pretty much. Kazakhstan and Russia governments want to end this the faster way possible to avoid another Ukraine situation [1]. They will remove everything, Internet, electricity to calm things down. The thing that ignited this massive prot

Oddly enough Mozilla has started to hire some developers for browser positions again (the job offers appear every now and then at pages like indeed).

First of all, I'm not a user of this content since I mostly don't care about my own country media (southern Europe) or platforms like Netflix. But I know quite a few that use this kind of devices to get cheaper access to football

Brave also used this workaround. When workarounds are used by a few (EdgeDeflector), this methods usually pass under the radar... When a lot of users start using them they're quickly patched. Sadly, this fix shows that you can't b

Banning users from accessing their email accounts just for bad behavior at a public forum seems like an overkill approach. Email access should remain even if you can't access the forum. Searching for Kaiser reveals several companies wh

Even the most basic flows of Teams are broken. If I open a call link in my browser it shows an option to open the desktop app. Most of the times the Teams Desktop App (Electron) opens with a blank screen and starts to restart itself. After

Caring about reputation after closing down the whole division is a hard thing to do for them [1]. After all, they aren't manufacturing them anymore. The few ones still out there are >1 year old stock. > From [1] source: "LG

Pretty much, YouTube is for video watching what IE used to be for browsing back in the obscure IE6 times. Unless you live in China where it's blocked. Some countries (mostly of the EU) already try to enforce some control against this k

As an iPad owner, Safari is great, it does the job for occasional browsing, displaying things to someone (small gatherings, meetings, family, etc). As a Linux Desktop user however, I don't care about UI speed since my browser usage is

There's a lot of browsers out there that already give the experience you want. Like Ungoogled Chromium (or regular Chromium). I always see a lot of power users being enraged to other browsers when they remove features that the 1~5% of

After the pro-EU Ukrainians ignited the Euromaidan movement (to remove a Kremlin aligned president) a civil war started in Ukraine. At that point Putin supported one side of the war and got Crimea for almost nothing. There's also the c

We are under a new cold War and people don't seem to realize this. Russia has had troops around Ukraine for the last 7 years. The Donetsk and Lugansk "republics" exist since 2014. Russia is waiting for Ukraine's move sin

Who knows? This happened a decade ago. Maybe it was an electric issue... But that would fry the drive's motherboard instead of making the hard drives click?

It's sad to see a simple password manager go. Even if it's integrated inside Firefox most users will probably look elsewhere (Bitwarden, Keepass). I use the later, the file db works great and its easy to move between devices when

A few months ago both Firefox and Brave added this workaround. Being able to modify the default app for the "microsoft-edge:" handler is something that was available since 2017 and pretty much EdgeDeflector was the main user. Most

Chromium has proper separation of its components (Blink, V8, Desktop, iOS, Android UIs, etc). It's "easier" for a small full-time paid team to detach the default browser UI, implement their own thing and keep the other compon

Looks like it's just a way of indirectly promoting the Firefox Color extension with several built-in examples of what you could do with it... Without talking about the extension that allows this at all. So, this feels like a small proj

The Joetsu Shinkansen (where most of the E4's operated) has a lower speed limit of 240km/h so these trains fitted perfectly. But this will change soon since JR East is adapting the line to go faster.

Thanks for all this years Max E4! This train was quite a jump on Shinkansens with double-decker cars. Sadly there are slower than more recent series, just limited to 240km/h compared to the 260km/h of the E7 series or the 320km&#x
