Also for those wondering how you can get subpixel AA on your canvases anyway: if you use a classic 2d rendering context (not WebGL), you can use canvas.getContext("2d", {alpha: false}) to create a canvas with a fully opaque background, which will also cause fillText to render with subpixel AA on most browsers.

Do you have a source on this? I can't find anything about this through a quick Google search, but I'd love for this to be true.

    complex c = 4;

Would you rather have this line not compile because 4 is not a complex number? Because one _could_ argue that 4 is a complex number, and C++ can represent this with an implicit constructor.

The issue with C++ is that implicit is the default, not that it exists.

Obligatory "not a quantum physicist," but the only way to observe something is to throw something at it (e.g. a photon) and see what bounces back. The problem is that when you throw something at it, you're interacting with and affecting the ball.

My main problem is the high cost of repeatedly switching between mouse and keyboard. Type a sentence, move to your mouse, click a link, move back to keyboard, type another sentence, move to your mouse again... It gets repetitive and tiring after a while.

Great project, but it doesn't seem to play nice with Vimium.

Firefox has a built-in search engine for tab titles and URLs in its omnibar, which helps.

RE: [1] They show the exact same page for me both on Firefox and Chrome when I search for GOOG. I use Firefox as my main browser, and am logged in to my Google account on Chrome.

Same reason TypeScript was created: to allow gradual typing in already-existing Lua codebases. Unless you mean adding it in addition to Lua, in which case, what advantages does that offer?

This loads fast and is very responsive, unlike other browser apps I've used that try to offer an alternative to native apps (Google Docs comes to mind). I like it!

As for SMTP, most people use Gmail nowadays anyway. Google might be able to kill SMTP if they wanted to.

Brave's made a big mistake in the past, so I'd hold out on using it until there's no other non-Chrome option: https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-browser-aff...

Microsoft has made two working browser engines: Trident and EdgeHTML. They've killed both in favor of Chromium; I don't see how it would cost them less to develop Servo than to have kept working on EdgeHTML.

I understood the "Why do you need OSes" as "Why would you use Windows when you can use ChromeOS, since the only thing you'll ever need to open is Chrome"

And all of these opinions are obviously not held by the poster but are rather what the poster believes Google wants.

They hide the fact that it's a Google domain in Chrome.
