Hey HN community. I don't need prescription glasses, my eyesight is good. But I'm wondering if I need some sort of reflective glass anyways while I spent most of my day on the computer. Do you use/recommend anything in…

Bummer, I used it a lot. The "view cached" option seems to be missing as well. Duck Duck Go still support filetype.
