    Modern websites use the screen width to show you mobile vs desktop view. But before CSS had good support for responsive web design everyone had to create a separate website for mob…

    Maybe a global general social network simply can't exist. Maybe the people who are not on the network are just as important as the people who are. Facebook is full of people we don…

    Amp websites often don't even work for me because the site owners were unable to get it working in amp so they give you this half baked crap.

    I haven't tested it but google shows a lighting bolt next to amp sites so maybe the custom amp websites dont get the bolt.

    I have been using only open source apps for the last year. For basic stuff like podcast streaming and IM the Foss stuff is better than the proprietary stuff. For complex things lik…

    They won't solve every issue posted to it though. Also microsoft does things differently to Linux distros. Hardware manufacturers have to make sure their devices work with windows …

    Works better on more screen sizes. All standard web tech; no flash/Java/browser specific things. Less clutter and visual distractions once you block adverts. Also much much easier …

    Proprietary software just wouldn't have a bug tracker for you to use.

    You can set a list of fonts to use and the browser will keep trying until it finds one that is installed. Usually the last one in your list is serif or sans-serif that always works…
