Very interesting and insightful comment (if not only b/c I share a deep appreciation and fascination of astronomy/cosmology/astrophysics). Slashdot needs more of these.
I've used it as my primary browser for about a year now, on the Snapshot branch so that I can help weed out bugs. Still has a LOT left to be desired -- it's not fully mature yet and those looking for a mature browser will be disappointed. But for my purposes, it far exceeds every other browser out right now.
My favorite thing from the Opera days were the tabs on the side -- and no FF's tab tree wasn't the same thing. That along with their general approach to customizability makes it an easy choice for me these days. STILL waiting on Sync support though, that's the last big one that's left me wanting. Mobile app to go along with sync would be perfection.
I'm still struggling to determine where Trump fits into this at all. Why was he even mentioned? Which of Trumps tactics specifically was Uber employing? Lol, it's funny (and telling) that he was even brought up.
I received one of these emails, and since I was expecting documents from a mortgage company, totally fell for it. It the attachment tried to redirect me to some foreign electronics company. Fortunately the website had been blacklisted already.
I admittedly did fall for the first one, but luckily I run uMatrix which kept whatever it was that was trying to run from running. Took that happening for me to realize I should looked at the email headers before opening an unsolicited email from Docusign...do I even technology bro?
Agreed! I knew I was getting phishing emails that were made to look like they were from Docusign, but had no idea there was a breach until Slashdot told me.
I've had 3 or 4 emails made to look like they were from Docusign over the past week or two...easily distinguishable if you look at the sender's domain -- which is the first thing I did b/c I wasn't expecting any documents to sign. Not-so-technical users should beware, with targeted phishing you're gonna have a bad time.
Curious about the compatibility issues you ran into? Have you tried running the snapshot branch? Browser is still _somewhat_ in it's infancy, and is getting updates all the time, some that fix stuff, some that break stuff and then more that fix stuff that was fixed before. It's good enough to use as my daily for the past 6 months or so, but every so often you do run into that nagging irritable bug, but no showstoppers for a good year now, I'd say.
Apprently (I haven't read the source code), the authors agree with you:
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your way):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "g*dd*mn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Erasing erroneous mod
I second this. I still have a GMail account (unfortunately), however everything I can help goes to my private email server (FreeBSD/postfix/Maia ftw).

Hear, hear.

...you'll make more money, right? That's how these things work right?
Totally.

This is GREAT. I'm surprised it took Apple this long, given their granularity in privacy settings as is.
Without extensions you might as well use Edge.
If having too many tabs open is giving you grief install The Great Suspender. It suspends tabs, freeing up resources and memory.
It does. So does Vivaldi -- both are based on Chromium.

Should You Leave Google Chrome For the Vivaldi Browser?
FTFY.
Glad to see all my fellow Presto Opera lovers are already here mentioning Vivaldi before I got a chance to :)
...right?
Wow thank you for the link to the iOS app! I didn't know it existed! Happy user of tt-rss for the past few years here :)
...being pulled. Then TFS says at the end "...several major apps including Google Maps, Ebay, Amazon, and Target have pulled support for Apple Watch."
Two completely unrelated things...[insert thinking face emoji]
B/c Chrome is better than FF at being Chrome...?
"...more secure" [by putting everything in the cloud].
Wat.
I noticed that in the headline and immediately thought that the resignations had to do with the switch to GNOME...lol @ /. for this click-bait stuff...
Vivaldi (the successor in-spirit to Presto Opera) currently has that feature, FWIW :)
This needs to be modded up dammit...

Lol, you're on a roll...are you always like this and I've been sorely missing out on comedic gold around here??
