    This is at the JavaScript level but I would love to see someone release a browser with a side-by-side JS VM and Lua VM, just as an experiment to what the web could be like with a b…

    Really at this point users should band together to steer Firefox back into better graces. Really all that’s needed is a bunch of servers running Firefox with something like Playwri…

    Also NY repealed a state law, 50-A, which is one of the major laws preventing scrutiny and review of police departments and officers. Still more to go on that front though as the n…
