Yes. An external viewer. Less bloat. PDF.js is annoyingly slow over native options. But make these plugins opt-in. People are sick of more dreck to turn off.
The main reason for using Firefox at this point is that Edge and Chrome are seriously broken in terms of autoplaying video. Until they unbreak cluck to play I'll stick with Mozilla.
With their latest Android sandbox, Chrome OS integrated Wayland faster than my desktop distro!
Hopefully that's a sign of dogfooding where Google programmers actually start to develop Chrome OS within Chrome OS without a need of a workstation pushing updates to a 'device' from desktop Linux, Windows 10 or macOS. Ars Technica's scathing review of Android on the Pixel C concluded that if programmers were forced to actually use the product they were writing as a daily driver, usability issues might get fixed.
Andromeda/Fuchsia/Bison, whatever they're calling it, might build on Gentoo and Wayland to also produce a killer desktop experience in a way that Ubuntu Convergence and MS Continuum seem still-born.
But no, their vision will probably extend only to a locked down device.:(
The account still exists and I was able to authenticate but the message says that they detected some unusual activity and they need to send a confirmation to a backup email account.
That secondary email address I linked it to no longer works though, so I can't access it.;(
Pixel C was rumoured to originally be a Chrome OS device but no one would buy a tablet without app support.
This feature uses Wayland, which would open itself up to desktop programs if Google exposed more of its Gentoo underpinnings to the end user. (yes, I hear there's Crouton.)
Well I live in the most self-consciously hipster city in the Southern Hemisphere. Quinoa displaced the humble cous cous or chickpea salad some time ago in cafes where smashed avocado on sourdough is all the rage.
And a badly coded web view will suck compared to a mobile web site. I have a few of those on my phone. Content is repackaged from a desktop web site into an app, which then renders HTML snippets - i.e. a glorified feed reader with a few bells and whistles. Slow and buggy. All because everyone has an app in Google Play these days and they want to sound kool with the kids. I'd much prefer if said online service just re-skinned their web site for small screens.
And don't get me started on facebook - their apps are slow and resource heavy. And no, I don't want to install their crummy messenger app - just re-enable the in browser feature!
I was a fan of Firefox OS. Mozilla it killed off just as it was getting usable on decent hardware (Flame/Nexus 4). The browser was seamless and, despite missing a few features, much better than Android versions of Chrome or Firefox.
Firefox was in last place on these tests, but it's not clear if they used an electrolysis enabled build. Servo + browser.html might get them back in the game.
Yes, i remember reading how people 'jailbroke' the Surface, enabling ARM binaries to run. Windows RT no longer is sold but, Continuum.
If Visual Studio provides a checkbox on Visual Studio to compile a binary for ARMv8 then the utility of the Continuum desktop rises. And i'm thinking cross platform software that is already largely ARM-clean by virtue of running on rPi - Geany, pidgin.
But with the death of Lumia for some overpriced vapourware 'surface phone', the horse has probably bolted already. Relaunch the platform with a low-end $150 WP10 Continuum phone and it may have a chance (save the fancy camera, humongous battery and dazzling 5.7" screen for the high end)
Ars Technica this week predicted the death of Android on tablets. That leaves iPad and 2-in-1 windows convertibles - contrary to the MS hate on here, I do see a number of Surface machines in my local university library.
MS should thus leverage the business side and Continuum. Allow employees to hot desk by docking their phone with a full size keyboard, a mouse and external screens - why do cubicle bound workers need a laptop exactly when they have a company supplied phone already? Monitor them 24/7 and encourage them to take work to their dwelling with a dock for home so they can VPN from home using their existing peripherals.
nvidia's Denver was engineered to be ISA agnostic. It runs ARM but originally was said to run x86, except that they weren't part of the Intel/AMD cartel licensing the instruction set. (Or something like that).
JB Hifi seems to have bricks and mortar sewn up for electronics (with department chains such as bigw and target filling the rest).
As for Amazon's original market, books - nothing has really replaced the mega-store chain Borders, so they'd only be driving out Dymocks and smaller chains such as Readings.

(or feature) It only runs on Windows 10.
If you're pushing for world domination, get the Android port released.
The rein in Spain reigns mainly on the rainy plain?
Or maybe he should be suing Apple. Connecting their machine to his phone and hey presto the latter exploded!

You don't think Apple are working on it?
iPhone 7 removed the headphone jack. iPhone 11 will remove the internal microphone.
I thought that was the problem it was supposed to solve, namely there were no 'root' accounts but a list of trusted users.

From the sounds of the article it doesn't include a case, RAM or storage in the price.
So basically it's a barebones mini PC, competing with Intel NUC or Gigabyte Brix and at roughly the same price as their entry-level models.
"Raspberry Pi" only adds to the clickbait.
I think what they're trying to say is,
it was San Andreas' fault.
Should buy the other mob.

Boycott Lenovo.
Such brand loyalty over the Stinkpad range but after the malware incident, who'd trust 'em?
And a headphone jack for listening to FM Radio - take that iPhone 7!
I'm starting to wonder whether Florida is merely a fictional peninsula north of Cuba, home to a race of evil super-villains.

I always check the permissions.
You want to do *what* now? Next.

It's a 2 year old processor.
intel killed the roadmap for phone SoCs earlier this year.
So unless MS want to cram a netbook CPU into a phone, it's likely to be an ARM.
