Why run Chrome at all then? What's wrong with Opera, Iridium or even Chromium? I think majority of people just use Chrome because they either don't know better or because when it came out, it was legitimately a cooler more innovat

What community would gain: competing browsers getting more traction due to larger share in the browser usage, better web standards support in the long run (remember Internet Explorer?). What you would gain: be less dependent on Google, use

You are clearly doing something more advanced than the vast majority of developers who are coding interactive self-validating forms with React or Angular and are still swearing by Chrome, even though they do not even touch those edge cases

Aside from clickbaity title, I would have rather liked a list of reasons to switch from Chrome to any other browser (including Firefox). I am genuinely curious why Chrome is the default for most technical people? The only reason I hear over

Markets don't crash from one independent event or even a few events. I think history has shown that. However, any event may act as a catalyst for starting a chain reaction for a series of financial events each directly responsible for

Autocorrect got me there and I could not figure out how to edit the comment. I forgot what I meant to write there if anything but the point stays the same.

I often wonder why did they decide to introduce such complexity with all independently developed runtimes with unrelated versions and all if they went fully open source. This problem that they have solved in their own unique way has been so

Those cheap European cities tend to get more expensive at a really fast pace. You might easily be looking at 50% increase in living expenses in 10 years if you want to live within the same standard now and then.

I think you are safe to rewrite it. It is not very reliable anyway as I have lost my tabs after crashes more than once. It might have been possible to save them but after a crash first thing I would do is restart Firefox and it would someti

Interesting that this book is mentioned in this thread several times. I didn't find this book bringing almost any value to me. What it did was giving names (e.g. orthogonality) that I didn't know before to the common programming c

I actually bookmarked this and some other HN posts with this news to see what the commenters have to say regarding this type of news on HN. I completely agree with you that this is the wrong place and HN should focus primarily on tech with

I had submitted a similar script, among others a few days ago. It is a user script and can be used on Firefox w/ Greasemonkey and Chrome w/ Tampermonkey: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PauliusLabanauskis/Us

I would use Opera Mini on my old Android because it would be the only somewhat usable browser performance-wise. It is a wonderful browser and it works really well for use cases it was designed for - low-end hardware and low bandwidth limits

This map seems to show the world in Mercator's projection which does not preserve true areas of the continents and even heavily distorts them based on latitude. I think this site would be better if it used a projection preserving actua

I think teeth whitening is a bit like steroids or liposuction. It is mostly for people who have insecurities and/or lack discipline to get quick, visible results at the expense of their health. I'm adding health here because the

So is Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century ) wrong on this one? Seems like all other centuries are calculated correctly.

With bookmarks you have to put additional time for organization and saving them. When I am researching something, I prefer just opening a bunch of tabs and they may stay open for quite a long time. When I am done, I close all of them. The m

From the experience I've had with Chrome, I would say that process per tab is overhead. Sure, there are some benefits from having a few processes that are managing different parts of the system, but not hundreds of processes just for b

Feedly. Didn't look long for an alternative after Google Reader shut down and just took the most popular at the time. Aside from a stupid bug which almost always displays incorrect unread item count, I am satisfied with it.
