    Open in private window, set to offline in the console's network tab, do your thing, close the window. At least I'm not aware of a way the app could send or persist the data when yo…

    I often have the opposite problem: I'm on Firefox and try to google "FooError: Bar happened" and instead of directing to google, Firefox prompts me to select an application to open…

    There are lots of libraries that don't really support dead code removal via stuff like tree saking anyway. React, moment.js, Bluebird, etc

    Finland's government-owned railway company, VR, has a notoriously bad train ticket reservation system that still uses Flash. They've only recently started to roll out more modern v…

    I had to use Adobe Connect recently and they also had the option to install Adobe Connect as a desktop app that seemed awful lot like it was just Chrome/Electron with Flash preinst…

    I didn't read parent comment as "Microsoft and Valve are bad and I don't want to give them a dime, ever". I read it as "I want to direct 100% of my donation to the project I'm look…

    People have suggested extensions here, which is fine, but Firefox also supports this natively via custom css files that it can load for you on startup. They can be used for both st…

    How much of those IE users are also users of GitHub? Shipping more modern EcmaScript versions than what's supported by IE has lots of advantages for users whose browsers can suppor…

    I assume most of the minutes-long compile times they are running into are because of type checking. Moving types to comments wouldn't help that. I don't konow why they aren't separ…

    Elm doesn't need to perform runtime checks (apart from application boundaries like JSON parsing, where runtime checks are performed) because their type system is supposed to be sou…

    Most of the project is and will still be written in Rust, a statically typed language, so saying that the "project" will drop static types is an overstatement. Based on the design …

    Sure, it's just that the person you were answering to--and this whole thread really--seem to be advocating for just importing module files without any sort of build step. Without a…

    I don't know enough about Three.js to say if that works well for them or not, it probably does, but I don't think a future where all libraries would do this would be very bright. I…
