That hasn't always been the case, perhaphs he tried it a few years ago when you had to have silverlight.

I watch often TV on web sites on Ubuntu. Almost all issues have been solved in 2017. Before, it was failing more often than succeding.

Actually looks pretty great to me. What do you consider wrong with it?

The image conveys little to no information, yet it takes the whole screen real estate.

I clicked on the link to read the article, not gape at a full screen illustration that adds literally no info! Why would the author want me to scroll 1200 pixels before I can read even the title?

I don't consider any framework cross-platform unless it also targets TempleOS.

I have the same issue on my Linux laptop. It seems like Firefox always maxes out at least one core when loading pages or rendering pages with certain video codecs. I'm guessing Chrome throttles its performance or maybe it's just more performant.

Does the possibility of needing to fend off some lunatic outweigh all the negatives of loose gun control? Rural residents will still be able to own a gun but maybe they should pass a psych test first and maybe that gun shouldn't be military grade.

The laws banning military grade weapons already exist -- the civilian AR-15 is not an military grade M-16, it is difficult to obtain an automatic weapon, destructive devices are banned-ish.

Fundamentally the problem is that gun ownership is a core American ideal (to enough electorally well placed people), so outright bans are infeasible and other restrictions cause a race by manufacturers to innovate around the restrictions.

Anyone know of a similar extension for Firefox?

If you're running FF 57, you could try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-store-... to install chrome extensions on FF. Some work. Some don't.

Seems like you're making a lot of assumptions about programmers who write native code.

Not at all, I'm describing my use case.

And to add another example, a friend of mine is working on a 5K iMac (non pro) on a normal-ish desktop application. He has to use external storage for testing, because the application has to manage large document libraries that don't fit on his internal SSD. Also, he's always mentioning that the iMac gets noisy when he's doing a build.

The links would still be blue, "text-decoration: none" will just remove the underline.

I don't like the underlines myself, but removing them will also make it difficult for people who don't distinguish well between blue and black.

Of course, didn't think that one through. Yeah, I prefer that.

If you use DuckDuckGo as your standard search engine you can also prepend "!mdn" to your search query to search MDN.

This also works with any website wich supports search I think. Other good ones include "!hoogle", "!hn", "!yt", "!g", and the list goes on.

FYI, if you're already shortening the so-called "bangs", you could use "!h" for Haskell. :)

Worth pointing out: submitting bang ideas is very, very trivial, but the whole process may last months. Last time I've read about someone complaining about a long bang, I've submitted "!gw" as a shorter version of searching Gentoo's Wiki and it became a thing a couple of days ago. This is maybe fifth or sixth bang that I've submitted to them via https://duckduckgo.com/newbang.

This will bring you to a search result page, yes? My ext combines Google's I'm Feeling Lucky to jump straight to the page for the top result, which I find works 99% of the time I'm looking for something on MDN.

I love the last quote of the interview which roughly translates to:

"But this prize might contribute to my family understanding that I do something of value while they sleep."[0]

Spoken by a person who has created something that has probably been used by hundreds of millions of people. Obviously the quote is very tounge in cheek, but still.
