Just as you can't argue that an exquisite set of china is orbiting Jupiter, similarly you can't claim that they reached Antarctica without some proof.

As others mentioned, the same guy is involved in Playwright. One thing I wanted to mention is that he is extremely responsive. I posted several issues a number of years ago and he fixed them pronto. And even dug into the underlying Chrom

If memory serves, they removed the user agent because one of the Google properties was serving it substandard HTML/JS even though they use the Chromium engine.

Looks like "Compact" is only in the list, if you had it selected prior. If not, then go to about:config and set "browser.proton.enabled" to false. Then, you'll get the option. What a mess.

How do you turn it on? I don't see it.

Exactly. If you don't need pixel perfection or 3D, WinForms are perfect. Fast, simple, and with a lightning develop-build-test loop. Plus, it's officially supported on .NET Core.

Wouldn't the author have to be knowledgeable about the subject? 30k words for $1000 sounds pretty low for an expert.

I've always found establishing Chromecast connection to be finicky. Particularly from the YouTube app on the iPhone (my most used scenario). Just the other day I tried to chromecast it the FireTV stick and built-in chromecast in the S

Because casting isn't great. It requires 2 "smart" devices to perform the task. If Chromecast had an interface (which it might on the latest ones), that would be better. I am liking the FireTV stick. It's small like the

Oddly enough, if you don't care about cross platform and pixel perfect placement, Winforms are probably the sanest choice. It's been ported to .NET 5 and they fixed some of the high DPI issues of the past (more coming in .NET 6).

That was probably the right call on your part. Though if someone was insisting on a single code base to save money, I'd probably go with Xamarin because if the framework doesn't supply what you want, you can always drop down and

Multi-account containers are a killer feature for sure. There is an ancient bug out there to provide "home page" for the container. That would truly make it a home run.
