Have you tried the Palemoon browser - http://www.palemoon.org/ ? It is a hard fork of Firefox that still supports XUL and the old XUL based Firefox extensions.

You may be surprised to know that XUL not only survived Mozilla, but still sees development activity in the "Unified XUL Platform (UXP)" - https://www.palemoon.org/tech/goanna.shtml ... PaleMoon ( http:&#x2F

Yes, but it's also historically associated with class too (even in the west) - the lower class had to do manual labour outdoors and thus were exposed to the sun longer. As a result, they tended to be sun burnt and darker. Thus, dark sk

My mistake - I meant any "Premium hikes" should be based on the accident rate of a driver.

I meant "Premium hikes" ... should have been clearer.

by webmobdev 3y ago
Premiums should be based on accident rate of the individual driver, especially if you are monitoring each driver's driving habits.

Thank you! Been searching for a tool like this. It needs to be a browser extension to be more awesome.

If they liked working on Qt, I wonder why they didn't consider porting Sailfish Browser - https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-browser - based on Gecko?

Not OP. My solution is to use a different browser in private browsing mode. Both Windows and macOS now come with a default browser pre-installed. I use that for any financial transactions - banking, paying bills, shopping etc. I totally avo

If the Swedes were serious about joining NATO, they could have pressured the protestor to do his Quran burning after Sweden had become a member. But instead, they allowed it to happen even though they knew how Turkey would react. And this

I'd say that America is even more aggressive than either Russia or China when it comes to spreading propaganda. Russians and Chinese are more willing to accept state control that limits some of their rights as that's the political

Or rather, you only read western propaganda, while I read both western, Russian & Chinese propaganda too to get the whole picture. Finland is considering joining NATO without Sweden. Their political process is yet to put forward a co

Doesn't matter if "the Russians are behind it" - the Swedish government still allowed the Quran burning. Let me repeat that - the Swedish government was well aware about this "protest" and still allowed it to happ

The real "nonsense" is their claim that they want to join the NATO. It's just posturing and they do not want to join NATO and give up their "neutrality". If Sweden was serious about it, the Swedish government wouldn

Why is it not a priority for the Tor Browser to stop phoning Mozilla on startup even when everything network related in settings is disabled? (No telemetry, no automated network connection should be a no-brainer here).

But it ends up costlier for a company because you have to train them. Where as slightly experienced developers can be productive immediately at no extra cost.

Makes sense - they are cheaper, after all, and more willing to be exploited for longer hours and less pay due to their inexperience. Seems very much in line with Amazon's management practice in how they run their warehouses.

Some feedback: 1. The download button doesn't work on Pale Moon / WhiteStar browser (v32.0.0) - clicking it does nothing. Perhaps it is a bug or some settings I enabled. But it should be a no-brainer that a Browser company design
