I disagree with the premise. Supposedly, Carr continues to run Trump's agenda, but then it would banning TikTok for the reason that the social network was used to organise anti-Trump activities during the last elections.

As I get it Carr haven't presented any hard evidence, instead linking to the open publications with various levels of research. Privacy breaking apps must be thrown out. However, this mustn't be decided on the basis of hearsay.

Unlike in Apple's situation, users had the full power of choice of installing a web browser on Windows PCs. They used IE for the same reason people now installing Chrome: it's the browser where the most of the stuff doesn't b

Your "marketshare" definition is bogus. I could claim that Firefox has 100% marketshare of PlayStation consoles. There's no such market as devices of a single manufacturer.

It does not replace OOP because there are no answers to other questions like: does it support polymorphism? Or data encapsulation? Etc. It's a data access design principle, and that's about it.

Please define "best"? Certainly, it's not the power efficiency. Not memory efficiency either. Performance maybe? But then it's very different from test to test. So, what makes Chromium the best?

Not really. Safari had its own declarative content blocker engine for many years now. Additional, it is moving to the manifest standard for better interoperability with cross-browser web extensions.

Yes, you do miss something. There is about a metric ton of various adblockers on mobile App Store.

There is Rtings for television, and other specialised sites for other product categories. I don't think you can stick to any general review source and consistently get quality reviews.

Take a note, that node sizes of different factories aren't comparable, because they are measured quite differently. You can only compare TSMC v TSMC, Intel v Intel etc.

You don't have to stream encoded video from the server. It is much faster and simpler to stream game state and have the game clients render it. Esentailly, that's how all the games with "authoritative server" work.

I feel your pain! I was furious when I learned that Slack disallowed running their iOS app on M1 Macs. They specifically opted out of this, so everyone would continue suffering their "desktop" client.
