It is not surveillance or spying ffs!!!! It is telemetry, which is anonymized data for the purpose of statistics and crash analysis. remember, you can check the source code. You can build your own version. Telemetry helps people. Telemetry

As someone who has numerous Palm/HP devices running webOS and BB10 based Blackberry Passport and is a complete sucker for hardware keyboards, let me say that this assumption is false. People don't care about physical keyboards, it

There are many use cases for this, among them: * Mobile version of Firefox. It might be easier to talk to fill a form on mobile than type on glass screen. * Accessibility. There is a huge under served demography of people who will welcome t

I am a fan of the "just stick a security popup and let people choose" option but I understand that is not the same as having proper security.

Firefox OS had TCP[0] and UDP[1] sockets as Web APIs. They were quite pleasant to use as a developer and the only way to create a real mail client (needs TCP to implement POP, IMAP, SMTP in JS). I wish more Firefox OS APIs had become web st

From what I have seen, it is like RAM vs HD usage. You bookmark things that are going to be useful in the future, long term, while you keep tabs open while they are in current use such as when researching a topic. For example, when someting

I can't wait to be able to run Howl on Windows 10. I wish this release contained a stable build for that OS. Howl is probably the most refreshing editor I've run recently. Really recommend it for those in *nix platforms.

Personally, I find the new Firefox containers feature more friendly and useful from a UX perspective than Chrome profiles. You can learn more about them at https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/containers

I have joined many kickstarters. I received all of the rewards promised to me, some with a lot of delay but no kickstarter I joined was ever cancelled. People approach kickstarter with the wrong mindset. It is not an alibaba/aliexpress

From the page there appears to be a minidisplay port and a card reader. The main use for the surface connect port is attaching it to the dock. I have a Surface 4 Pro here and the experience with the dock and the connector is great.
