Suspending unused tabs
Didn't they already do that? I remember receiving a spinner whenever I changed between tabs very often since they introduced that multi-process thing.

People are paid depending on their worth.
There's a big difference between writing their own engine from scratch and forking Blink. For starters, even if they fork, they can still keep cherry-picking fixes and new features from Google's Blink. After all Webkit is under the GPL so they can't just close the source.
Right? If you asked me, I'd say that domain "microsoftedgeinsider.com" belongs to some Indian scamming call centre.
For what reason have they purchased that domain instead of hosting it under microsoft.com ?
Since it's in their interests to have a browser installed on Windows by default, if Google did something wrong, they will definitely fork Blink. What alternative do they have?
For legal reasons, there's a 0% chance that it's immediately deleted, but I'm sure that after a few months some cronjob prunes the database.
I see it as a version of Blink (the fastest and most secure rendering engine there is) which is not controlled by Google. To me, it is something to consider.
I agree. I know most people don't think the same way. But my friends and I do, that's why we keep using EFnet.
They're rare in the US. KDE-as-default is close to the norm in Europe.
Based on what?
They didn't really have an option: the same organisation controls GNOME and systemd, so they introduced systemd as a hard dependency of GNOME to force distros to adopt systemd. And you can't have a distro out there without GNOME, so...
Those distros that can run without systemd have to make their own patches to "fix" GNOME, which is very costly. Even Gentoo struggles with that, as it takes them a long time to release new versions of GNOME because they have to write the patches to strip out systemd first.
So like any other messenger? You can delete your logs whenever you like, but they don't get deleted automatically.
No emoji/pictures/link previews is a feature to me. You know if someone posts a link nobody's going to click.
They are only getting what you are giving to them.
If you decide to browse the web without uBlock Origin or if you decide to use Android, you know what you're being exposed to.
Maybe Average Joe won't care, but he's informed about what is actually happening, and he should care and take his decision based on that. The fact that he's proud of blaming the wrong party is not something to be applauded.
This is the norm for Debian, including their own mystery meat in every package without asking upstream, and then making it look like an official release. I remember there was a post about that from the Redis guy a few days ago.
The guy who made those Docker images is not to blame in my opinion because he just trusted Debian, which is a renowned distro; he expected them to do the right thing. I believe Debian has a good reputation that they don't deserve anymore.
WhatsApp and signal work fine without GCM/FCM, dunno about other apps but WhatsApp it's international standard so you are fine
Probably not after Android 8.
