    I've been using Firefox pretty much exclusively since its first release (I did a year or two on Opera about a decade ago), and I can't remember it failing to render any site at all…

    According to the ruling, the exposure of your location history is the automatic price of conventional cell-phone usage—which, just as Carpenter noted, is a "pervasive and insistent…

    I'd like to read this list, but the color scheme is among the least accessible that I've ever come across. Dark, greyish-blue text with dark, bluish-grey highlighting over a dark g…

    No, that's not dumb at all. Inputs are filthy and sensors fail. If you're not comparing all available sensor data to confirm your understanding of reality, then a single sensor fai…
