(this is not a feature I coded, but I’m excited about it for Fennec, so here’s the post!) One thing Fennec struggles with somewhat, especially on pr0nimage-heavy websites is that we can easily be overwhelmed on devices with limited memory by loading lots of large images, including images that aren’t even visible on your screen [...]

Due to some mayhem at my email host, I’d been trying gmail anew for a few days. I’ve had an active account there for a very long time, but this was the first time I’d really used gmail in anger (as my bugzilla account). It turns out gmail and extended headers, such as those bugzilla [...]

It’s addictive. The high comes (or at least, the best hits are) when two conditions are met: 1) something you do benefits someone else, and 2) you know about it. Today, for me, it happened to hit me when a random comment I made in a random bug more than a year old helped someone [...]

Reading Gen Kanai’s blog-post here makes me think we have a real opportunity in a market we haven’t cracked yet. What do we need to do to make the Korean SEED Active-X control work in our browser without introducing all the other mayhem which comes with Active-X? I looked at the source for the Active-X [...]
