I had the same issue until I discovered there were plugins for Chrome[1] and Firefox[2] that will automatically redirect you to smile.amazon.com anytime you are on amazon.com. I have seen issues with the Firefox one when you aren't act

I've tried countless browsers on Android, as well as various adblocking plugins and services. I always found myself going back to Chrome because it just worked. I started using Brave about a year ago and I love it. The only thing I&#x2

At the bottom of the page it says: themer is inspired by trevordmiller/nova and chriskempson/base16. Conceptually, themer is very similar to base16, but: 1. It is lighter, and simpler to use. 2. It is more easily extensible with y

Hiya exists for Android as well and has very high ratings [1]. I have used Android since v3 and you have been able to change the dialer to a custom app for at least that long. You have also been able to limit ringing while in Do Not Disturb

This isn't exactly what you're asking for but on Android: Settings > Sound > Do Not Disturb > Allowed in Priority Only > Calls From Contacts Only (or Calls from Starred Contacts Only if you really want to lock it down)

Be aware that these still require you to have at least a basic understanding of CSS and HTML (the more you need to customize it, the more you'll need to know). Nothing crazy, but don't expect it to be a drag and drop designer. For

A few weeks back I ran in to the same issue with accidentally making a purchase while connected to PIA. Mine was also flagged and I had to jump through several hoops to prove I made the purchase. It was a pain but I completely understand wh

I have never personally seen it used the way it was used on this website, but graylisting is the middle-ground between blacklisting and whitelisting. In a blacklist something is completely blocked. In a whitelist something is absolutely all

It looks like the author has chosen to "graylist" HackerNews in an attempt to sell copies of his book. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but warning you that anyone clicking on your link is actually redire

Same size screen (possibly lower resolution, I'm only on 1680x1050) and while I don't have to zoom in to read it, the font is definitely on the small side.

Nothing would stop someone from being able to share it via the darknet. Tor, Freenet, Zeronet, etc. There's no way that news would be able to be stopped.

This is probably longer/more detailed than you wanted but here it goes. I'll preface it by saying that I think I'm lucky in that I'm not the type that needs 8h of sleep every night. I usually start waking up naturally af

I don't think most people were using grooveshark BECAUSE it was a pirate-solution. They had paid plans as well that allowed you to do more than the free ones. I don't think most people knew there was any real difference between gr

The N4 was the first phone I sat on for longer than a few months; it was such an amazing phone. The N5 was the next phone I bought and I kept that until my Xperia Z5 because I was not a fan of the N6. I was completely sold on the Nexus line

I have experienced that as well, but I feel it can usually be remedied by doing a factory reset. I also typically never do in-place upgrades for Android updates. I will download the full OS images (or the RUU/whatever updater is requir

I don't have much to add, only to say that I generally agree. I first started creating custom roms for the Sprint HTC Hero when it came out in 2009. It was my first Android phone and I was in love with everything about it. I was obsess

It's (unfortunately) far more likely that they'll simply re-brand as something else. For all intents and purposes, Equifax will cease to exist; except it will be exactly the same thing under a different name.

Same on Android. In fact Android has a Location-feature called "Scanning" that allows apps and services to detect wifi networks at any time, even if you have your wifi disabled. Meaning you can turn wifi off but it will randomly t
