Exactly. Chrome just feels faster overall.
bishalb··on Firefox 82
No still laggy for me, I only use it for some alternate accounts. Just feels jittery compared to chrome specially when you are using the element inspector.

bishalb··on YouTubers are upscaling the past to 4K, but historians want them to stop
These historians are saying as if these new 4kncolor videos will make the original ones disappear from the face of the earth.
bishalb··on In Defense of XML
That's a pretty valid criticism. I am wary of significant whitespaces too as are many people(and one of the reasons I use Ruby for scripting rather than python.)
bishalb··on Google’s Search Preference Menu Eliminates DuckDuckGo
Most people and I mean upwards of 98% (even the tech savvy ones) don't care much about privacy as much as the HN bubble seems to(or pretends to).

Just opening wikipedia pages.

Even for the mobile on Android.

HN downplays it because Java isn't hipster enough.

bishalb··on Chrome, Firefox extension that blocks NSFW images using TensorFlow JS
You deduced that from his comment?
bishalb··on Chrome, Firefox extension that blocks NSFW images using TensorFlow JS
I would say keep kids away from both. Sex isn't something that needs to be taught, your kids will figure it out when they are ready and old enough.
bishalb··on Chrome, Firefox extension that blocks NSFW images using TensorFlow JS
That's like saying you are always nude under your clothes so nudity isn't a problem. Nudity in movies is like softcore porn and they often come with bed scenes. Of course if your family is just you and your wife it's fine but I don't think any sane person would consider that ok for kids.

It's wouldn't be far fetched to say that mozilla could abandon rust in near future.

There is also the reader mode but it doesn't work on all pages.
bishalb··on Show HN: Dropbase 2.0 – Turn offline files into live databases
I don't like reading pages with dark background either. I just do ctrl+A on such pages so that the text background becomes blue, making it a little better to read.
bishalb··on Ghost.org deleted my website

bishalb··on Facebook trying to position itself as friendlier to small businesses than Apple
How would you add a balance on facebook without a card?
bishalb··on Mozilla’s Uncertain Future
The best things about tabs in Firefoxia the scrollable tab bar. I am not sure why chrome doesn't add this.
bishalb··on Web browsers need to stop. Enough is enough
What do you mean soon? They have been doing so for years now.
bishalb··on Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store
If they wanted to, they could have done it though no? IOS has been out for 13 years now.

You are trying to divert the topic to something that's likely never going to happen from something that gets HNers triggered all the time, even if it's just remotely related to Microsoft.
