This is just a logo not an app? You should probably update your logo to remove the SS reference

Just tried this, expecting it to function like an electron app. Did not expect it to pop open a node console and start to force install Chrome. It'd be nice to use this without being forced to install Chrome. Maybe see if there's a way to use Firefox or at least Brave instead of Chrome

Re:European Parliament approves copyright reform on Tuesday March 26, 2019 @09:50AM (#19491769)
Not quite true

Or, most 'regular' users will switch to Chrome because reCAPTCHAs work better in that browser. Firefox needs to make sure they're not going to ruin the user experience by breaking sites like this
Volt looks fantastic, but I doubt their roadmap. When it was first posted a few months ago they had Discord/Telegram set to launch within a month. Seems like the story hasn't changed. I highly doubt they'll be able to add all these integrations by the end of March.

That being said. I like what they're doing and I'm happy to be proven wrong

Assuming you don't care about the OS. Once I switched away from iOS, I am finding it very hard to go back

Did they take the page down? I'm getting redirected to the Firefox homepage
Is there a Firefox version?

I just thought my WiFi was busted. Any other regions down or is it just the UK?

Looks like it's mostly to provide a lazy loading wrapper for SQLite to React

This looks like a cool app, the post says it's available on Android but I can't seem to find it on the Play Store. Anyone know what happened?
Is there source code available? Would like to get this working on Firefox

A similar idea that I like is Van Halen's brown M&M's clause. Worth a read

I see. Would be nice if there was some kind of about page explaining this

Not sure where you're reading this. All I can see is this page http://b2b3.free.fr/lambdaspeech/?view=start

Re:GDPR Hall of Shame on Thursday May 24, 2018 @08:53AM (#17143449)
It'll be interesting to see how the EU reacts to all of the companies like Oath that, by default, share your data with 300+ ad agencies.

After the GDPR hype has died down, hopefully new tech companies will think twice about data privacy
