Firefox uses a multi-process model for additional security and stability while browsing: Web Content (such as HTML/CSS and Javascript) is rendered in separate processes that are isolated from the rest of the operating system and managed by a …

All roads lead toward the ad based revenue model, but sometimes I wonder what comes after that? The singularity?

Microsoft Edge is poised to become a very popular browser. Seems like there are more tech savvy users on Edge versus Chrome. Online, people talk a lot about Firefox, but spotting someone using that browser is like finding a unicorn.

The CSS flexible box layout (flexbox) is a great spec. The flex-direction property allows rearranging the position of children inside a flex container. This works in pretty much every browser — even defunct ones like Internet Explorer. Don’t work hard and write JavaScript, be lazy and write CSS.

Looking at the scope of society and human affairs, you can say that there’s no end to the clever ways people and institutions persuade you to give up a subset of your rights. The GPL license, on first read, made me chuckle because whoever wrote it got to that point real quick.

To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.

It’s nice to read an article with real content from real people on the Internet, not SEO spam. These individuals work around the data to page building limitation in hugo by using resources.FromString to programmatically create Markdown. Thought about this, searched to see if it was tried, and it sure was.
