Chromebooks, but with Edge.
Since we already Tried Windows RT, Windows 8, Windows 10 in S mode and Windows XP Tablet edition yet another gimmick OS is needed. Meanwhile Enterprises and China stay on Windows 7 and even XP.
The “money” generated by the site is minimal compared to the bandwidth and electric bills caused by the mining, and most mining was blocked by adblockers and firewalls anyway.
Just like we can Hackintosh a Mac or Emulate games at a higher resolution, we can make a custom pc that is a more Powerful Xbox than the official XBox. I can't wait to build a custom Xbox with Threadripper 3 and RTX 3080 Ti.
And rewriting XUL into Web Extensions, making the rewrite mistake twice gave Chrome the web. We could have had a strong Mozilla, now we got a weak one. Imagine a Firefox released in 2000, not 2004. We could have defeated IE earlier and avoid IE6 all together.
I hope in five years time, when Chrome has 90%+ market share Mozillians take a hard look at themselves and see that they were responsible for the chromageddon.
And yet again no one listens. I expect Mozilla and Google have "secret lists" too. Brave was recently exposed sending "secret headers" to certain websites too.
I have warned in several posts that the current browser monoculture is bad for the web. Mo$illa is too closely connected with Google and browsers like Pale Moon and Waterfox also have their own paid deals. Until we have a truly independent browser engine we will be at the mercy of ads which are a form of DRM.
Not only are we using the same engines, we are sharing the same user interfaces. The web is worse off for it. We need diversity in browser engines and interfaces, but developers are too addicted to conformity.
Get adverts from them for weeks afterwards. This happens to me on one of my browsers which can't install an adblocker. Thankfully I block ads on most of my computers.
Now that IE is officially not fit for use on the public web, the question is how do we get people to stop using it? For a start my local Bristol City council still uses IE in their libraries, and there are a lot of less savvy people who think the "blue e" is the internet. Some of them might be fooled by Edge, but those using lower than Windows 10 will need educating on a new browser.
We need a really popular website to not support IE to make the phaseout happen. Youtube claims not to support IE but they still show an old version so people can still use it. Microsoft's GitHub also claims not to support it but it still works.
I think once Windows 7 goes out of support is when we should really start pushing for an IE free world, using Chromium Edge as a transition mechanism.
They DMCA people for hosting office 2000 but not 97 or earlier, meaning that 2000 is good enough for people. If you're not doing complicated macros and formulas, you have plenty of legal open source alternatives.
Do we really need WebGL, canvas, wasm, node, jquery and all this HTML5 crap? I remember i could open hundred of tabs in Firefox on a system with just a gigabyte of ram back in 2004. Now Waterfox struggles with about 10 tabs on a 16gb system and I have to constantly re-open it. Just have HTML 4.01 with the video tag set to non autoplay and make the web simple.
There are bugs that haven't been fixed for decades and they regularly WONTFIX many bugs. It's time Mozilla stops drinking the Chrome-aid and listen to it's users for once. Until Mozilla does, use Waterfox or Pale Moon.
Windows XP being end of life’d despite being offered on netbooks new less than five years before the deadline. Now with Windows 7 being chopped we will have even more junk. Pefectly good 32 bit hardware is being scrapped due to progammers too lazy to optimize ram usage. The situation is worse with MacOS and android with the lack of updates being offered to most devices. Meanhile my “dumb” phone still is functional 10 years later.
They have articles about Bowsette and Instagram Egg but they didn’t have an article about nobel prize winning scientist Donna Strickland until the media pointed it out because they don’t see woman scientists as notable as men. They also like censoring articles like schools and cryptocurrencies.
I had over 5000 edits before i was banned, so I know the way Wikipedia really works so I criticize Wikipedia as much as I can.

When Microsoft shuts down the store like Nintendo shut down the Wiii shop. At least with the Wii we still have physical discs as a backup.

That will be new old standard.

To see what the fuss is about. Trolling backfires in this regard.

The “cost savings” shold be taxed for the obesity effects their products cause.
Every year at Christmas you hear of a "winter blunderland" go wrong. The only thing different this time is that a game is involved.

I hope anyone getting a emoji plate also has to pay an increase in insurance.
Considering Microsoft Edge was compromised using Facebook in an earlier story you can expect any device capable of using Facebook is compromised.

We need less influence from big companies especially now Firefox is the only major non chrome based browser. I don't want Microtransactions in Firefox
Along with other horrific Apple experiments.

With "experiments" that advertise. Too bad that Firefox forks sold out too. We really need a truly independent browser foundation.
We have seen it before in the open source world like Xfree86.
