   I presume you don't use Google Search then, since a huge number of Windows executable installers bundled Google Chrome, as well as Google Desktop and/or Google Toolbar (back when they were a thing).

   Interesting. You certainly have a flair for design. I have some qualms about your execution though. First things first, you have two versions of jQuery in your source code: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs&#x2

   Like MaxLeiter, this page works normally for me, so I thought I would do a bit of testing. I know this is a plain HTML version of DDG and no AJAX is involved, but bear with me, I want to illustrate a point. From the browser console, the or

   To extend support to IE9+, you can use a double box-shadow , one going left and one going right, to imperfectly simulate the effect. A noteworthy instance of this trick in the real world is Bloomberg[0], for their article headers. They a

   I suspect the parent is thinking of the Sparrow acquisition by Google, but Sparrow was a native app for OS X/iOS; thus it stands to reason that the acquisition was more of an acqui-hire for creating/refining Inbox. [1] [1] https:

   I came to say the same thing. I use Cloudflare as a DNS provider for my own site as I was impressed by the numbers. It's literally as straightforward as clicking a button to prevent Cloudflare from proxying traffic to use their service

   As an iPhone/iOS 10 user, I cannot corroborate all of your claims. 1. Scrolling seems native to me. I just tried it again, maybe it seemed off for a moment. It's hard to tell. I don't find that the scrolling is broken as it i

    Chrome is quite clearly targeted at the regular user, rather than the power user or developer/tinkerer. News flash: the regular user does not open 270 tabs, or even 10 tabs. You can tell me this claim is anecdotal, but since you have p

    IANAL but they would not appear to be able to construct a case against you for using the fonts on your own server, since at no point is it stated that such a practice would be in violation of the terms of use. As you observe, they do not ex

    Fair to say. I did not mean to imply that no original content was produced on Reddit, only that its primary mission or purpose is to share and discuss — not to authoritatively, reliably and accountably document — ergo, the site had little c

    What credibility? Even on 4chan, which has next to zero credibility AND no voting/reputation system intended for 'self-policing' (so it is not likely to ever become credible), some users express their dissatisfaction with low

    It's so interesting to see how these random Google websites differ. For instance, this website has been made with Bootstrap and jQuery. Weird choice already given the internal tools they have at their disposal. Weirder still, the grid

    I'm married. What spare time I do have is inevitably eroded by wanting to spend time with my partner. What remains is not easily used for writing a coherent book.

    I love programming. Even if I still had to use Perl I still wouldn't give it up. Admittedly that's because I like Perl, but I also freely admit I'm more productive with full-stack JavaScript. That said, I wouldn't mind

    While it's nice to not need Modernizr, or JavaScript at all, it's generally only useful for features added after the @supports support landed. As others have mentioned, there's also the problem of false positives, and you c
