   I can read fine. 1) You provided that example directly in response to the question "Can you show some sources for how Brave is scamming people out of privacy". 2) That example, I think we agree, is explicitly NOT "scamming

   "choose to throw yourself" "a company doing dumb things" "insult everyone's intelligence" "lying to them" That's a little hyperbolic, don't you think? Do you even hear yourself? I fully

   You explicitly said that move was a "privacy scam". Now you're backtracking to "just eroding trust". There's quite a gap there.

   You're missing the point; This guy has zero power over what Google does so publicly berating him is not going to accomplish anything. And anyways, the sentence "Take responsibility for the results of your actions like an adult&quo

   Before Google, Danny Sullivan was a well respected search engine blogger/journalist. As far as I know, he isn't an engineer. There's no need to be rude.

    That has absolutely nothing to do with my point that they haven't eliminated those other platforms so I'm not sure why this is directed at me. You sound sore. Maybe you should take it up with the company rather than a random perso

    They haven't "eliminated" support for other platforms. They are actively working on them. It seems they wanted to get an MVP out and chose MacOS first. It might be annoying for Windows/Linux users but there's nothin

    Arc's tab management philosophy is really interesting; Tabs are transient unless pinned. But, discarded tabs can still be easily found in an archive if necessary. Mini-Arc is browser pop-up window that is tab-less and (mostly) without

    As mentioned, I've done this before using CSS also. The question is... is there an easier way these days or do you still have to use CSS?

    There's no legal precedent yet, but WordPress plugins/themes are widely considered as being GPL because they're a "derivative" work. Or, at least the PHP code in those plugins/themes are - possibly not the CSS

    Does Firefox have the ability to hide the top tabs when you have an extension like this? Last I tried it, it required some finessing with CSS.

    At first this seems like a retaliatory move. But for Bard to be viable in Canada it would have to be trained (in part) using Canadian news sources. It's going to be very difficult to argue Google shouldn't have to pay for that pri

    It seems not very well known that you can actually reclaim your alt/option key on MacOS by using the Unicode Hex Input Source for your keyboard. It's not a particularly useful tip if you every need to type accented characters, but
