    I forgot to mention that it supports MP3, FLAC, or WAV files.

    Web MiniDisc has added new life to the format. It lets you manage the contents of a MiniDisc ..from a web browser, thanks to WASM. Add MP3s, FLACs etc. https://stefano.brilli.me/we…

    I agree that the Firefox change is recent, but not Safari. Safari has had 3rd party cookies disabled for many years now.

    The irony of Google purporting to protect users' privacy while at the same time: - Chrome is still shipping with 3rd party cookies turned on by default (Safari and Firefox have the…

    This is true but bear in mind that you can retain a view of the traffic with any of the web analytics plug-ins supported by AMP (all of the major analytics providers are supported)…

    I think that AMP as technical standard is OK in that it gives developers a format to follow that insulates them from the worst loading time issues that open-ended HTML can cause (J…

    According to Steve Gibson (SQRL's inventor) tiQr is quite different: "It superficially appears to offer a user experience similar to SQRL. However, as is every other such system, w…

    Speaking for DeviceAtlas in particular I can assure you that detection reliability is better than most assume. The stated 99% detection accuracy rate isn’t marketing speak—it is co…
