   I understand your intention is to launch "cold" Firefox instance that does not call home, update the "safe browsing" databases etc, so this will probably not be of any help, but you may try launching it with `--offline`

   Maybe worth mentioning tangentially related WTH of JS syntax: that there are two additional line breaks besides CR and LF: line separator (\u2028) and paragraph separator (\u2029). Some editors and text viewers render them as zero width spa

    You cannot start the game using keyboard. Its nice that game itself supports it, just make that <div class="[...] play-pane […]"> a <button>, pretty please.

    Exactly, was thinking along the same lines. While I appreciate the "shipostedness" in fulfilling the task "connect to DB in CSS" by cramming whole SQL database into CSS custom property and working with it using paint wor

    My favourite part of Task Manager lore are nearly undocumented keyboard shortcuts: - pause updates by holding CTRL pressed, - hit F5 for refresh (standard binding, isn't it?), or hold F5 to get refreshes way more frequent than with Vie

    True. My all times favourite is to use it in keyword bookmark for `site:<domain>` so you can go straight to "most relevant page from <domain>" with e.g. `mdn <word>`: https://duckduckgo.com/
