It's reduced as a problem I think, and in general credit cards are certainly far less popular than in the US. I suspect fraud is less of an issue because accepting signatures for card purchases hasn't been common for at least a de

I've only just heard of this, but it looks like it's an attempt by lots of big European banks to beat Mastercard & Visa at their own game! It says they're building on EU Instant Payments, which has been standard for a whi

Where does this data live? It looks great, I love the idea & UX, but I want it stored in the git repo with the code, so it's versioned and persistent. In a relatively portable format that I can integrate with elsewhere would be gre

I certainly don't mean it to come off as a hate piece - I would really like Safari to do well, and I'm definitely not a fan of Chrome's approach. My concern is that the approach you describe - if Chrome goes further & fur
