I don't understand the behavior your are talking about. I tried in Google Chrome and could not figure it out. In Chrome's address bar, you type the name of a site (say reddit.com), then tab, then some keywords, and that does a goo

From the article: > Under a law adopted by parliament this week, cars emitting carbon dioxide above a certain threshold will be subject to a 20,000 euros ($22,240) penalty in 2020 So that seems to be because they don't pollute as mu

I have trouble understanding from this article what the problem is with ICE (I'm from outside the US). The developpers disagree with the whole purpose of ICE, because they trakc refugees, so they don't want github to have anything
