   VPN's aren't easy - and they're definitely not a default behavior in the same way not accepting third-party cookies is. But part of the solution if the regulations stay the way they are may well be that VPNs are made easier b

    You need five channels to get the equivalent of what BT and Sky provide with the Premier League, and you are absolutely bombarded with advertising. European football isn't really suitable to the same business model, so we have to pay f

    It's similar to what ideas 2.1 and 2.2 are in the blog post - a local directory that is maintained and authenticated centrally and then distributed to browsers that perform a central lookup. The downsides are that it is too centralized
