As a long-time Linux user with habit of throwing everything into the mix, I got quite used to number of inconsistencies that I have, so I don't think that MS deserves criticism for having them too (although article is not very critical

I use Firefox since 2005 as my main browser (I had a brief affair with Chrome between 2009 and 2012), and never experienced broken sites and poor support. Firefox works just fine.

I don't understand why your post is downvoted. We need to SHOUT about switching to single other alternative left (Firefox) until it is too late.

just install "New pipe" from f-droid, it really rocks. Allows you to play videos in background, download video or audio - practically everything. The only issue is that it sometimes breaks when youtube changes its protocol

That's after Fenix release... before that' there was plenty of supported plugins. It's only a matter of time when other plugins will support new UI. As for Chromium, I'm more than sure the battery issue is just a nice ex

The article is just an opinion and some claims, supported by zero evidence. Yes, Google is interested that Web continues to live. But article omits that Google only wants the Web that exists on Google's terms. That's why they prac

Such issues can appear everywhere. But if such bug will be found in widespread framework or CMS, zero-days will be exploited immediately by automated scanners (Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress had some in the history). So, protection through ob

While title is ragebait for sure, Google intent to eliminate URL and replace it with "something better" was clearly stated more than year ago. This article tells us they didn't give up on their efforts.

It may be "not as disruptive" for sure, but since I began to use night light mode both on my phone and laptop, I began to fall asleep in 10-15 minutes after going to bed. Also I use warm light LEDs intstead of cold ones.

I used OpenLayers back in 2008-2011 for mapping-heavy web application. It was of very high quality, and had great API documentation (using DoxyGen, iirc). Taught me some things about pre-modern-craze Javascript programming (i.e. how to corr

Is it only me or at first glance this VentureBeat article looks like popup-ridden page from late 90s? https://imgur.com/a/vjGuFKs (yes, I know it's off topic)

I saw (back in 2012) a ReactOS deployed at points-of-sale in large retail chain in (then Ukrainian) Crimea. Maybe it was cheaper to make their specialized POS software compatible than pay for Windows licenses.
