It was funny how the other way when I searched for "nvm" to look up Node Version Manager, the AI mode thought I was saying "nevermind" to it. It felt quite jarring.
Picture-in-picture in Firefox is super useful when having a video call and sharing the screen at the same time, especially on a laptop screen. Firefox lets you pop out the video feeds of call participants, so you can…
One of the things that I like about Firefox is that it lets you right click on websites that disable right clicking by holding down shift. Reminds you that the browser should be the user's agent and not the website's.
It is an awful experience indeed. I switched to Kiwi browser when Chrome forced tab groups on everyone with no option to disable it. Kiwi has add-on support and removes many of Chrome's annoying aspects. I could never…
Ha, different strokes for different folks I guess. Usually when I'm reading something, my hands are off the keyboard and I use one hand to scroll with the mouse. In this scenario, it's so much easier to double-click to…
New Reddit also messes with text selection with unnecessary JS crap. Wherever you select some text, they show an "Embed" button that prevents you from dragging the text to a new tab to perform a web search. Thankfully…
I see it as marketing that tries to make you feel like you want the browser, without telling you what actually makes it great. You can attract users with hype and FOMO, but I'm not sure how long those users will stay...

Not a solution, but somewhat related: https://youglish.com/ lets you search YouTube videos for keywords, but the purpose is to find examples of how to pronounce words from real usage. It also works for a few other…
High achievers are often burdened by the weight of expectations, and the pressure to live up to a certain brand name. Their goals and ambition are often not their own, but have been hijacked along the way by people…
Social networks and platforms that people use to talk to each other should never have been dominated by profit-seeking businesses in the first place. Federated alternatives like Lemmy and Kbin that put community…
Is a desktop shortcut and dark theme really an "upgrade" to private browsing?
Reddit's infuriating mobile website made me switch from Android Chrome to Kiwi Browser, because it lets me use the Old Reddit Redirect extension [1] to redirect all Reddit links to old.reddit.com links. While old Reddit…
Just replace the `node.parentNode.removeChild(node);` line with `node.style['position'] = 'static';`. With this, you can 'un-sticky' the element instead of removing it. Here's the URL-encoded bookmarklet code with the…
