Might also be using the native Context Index API.[0] That's usually used to allow sites to be downloaded and browsed offline. I think that's how SVGOMG does it too [0] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Content_Ind...
The Content Index API only tells the browser that a page is available offline, you still have to cache it with a serviceworker.
Obviously wikipedia.org. Nothing better has been invented in 20-some years. I honestly feel relief when I research some topic and it has Wikipedia page on it, so I don't need to dig through some sh**y blogposts Edit: I mean: it's one of the very few websites that actually provides sources of information. It's insane it's that rare these days. And most important facts are just placed in visible and easy to spot place,…
Wikipedia is one of the greatest projects in the history of mankind. Very little compares to it in scale and value.

I’m confused. Did the ‘Rona get him? Or are you referring to a lawsuit?
He lost the lawsuit, but he hasn't posted anything on his site or twitter since early 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_(writer)

> The definition of cool is, of course, at your discretion. OK I'll bite... There's a very cool five letters dot com which exists since forever (I just checked on the Internet Wayback Machine and it has a copy of the site in 1998!). I'll say what it is but I'd rather not link it directly as I wouldn't want HN to kill it (and its owner deciding to pull the plug, you never know you know). It's basically called "lost.co…
The coolest website I'm using is a very practical one. https://geizhals.de is a German search website that allows you to very narrowly specify all kinds of things. Searching for a mainboard with minimum 4x SATA ports and 64GB RAM support in mini ITX format? Easy peasy. For example, take a look at the laptop category and its filters: https://geizhals.de/?cat=nb I wish every e-commerce website was built like this.
I use https://kakaku.com in Japan for the same thing, it's great. When I lived in Sweden, https://prisjakt.nu served the same purpose well
https://dannyreviews.com/ (ramblings of a pathologically eclectic generalist) has a vast range of book reviews for the intellectually curious. All reviews by Danny Yee

Interesting; maybe it's doing geolocation based on your IP address? It comes up in English for me (connecting from the UK).
Firefox, Sweden, always serving German. Not a problem, just curious
