NetSurf is a very barebones browser. It can fill a niche, but is not a daily driver where other options are available.

Firefox everywhere. It's not perfect, but is still the closest a browser gets.

Unless I need a PWA on desktop, then Edge (windows) or ungoogled chromium (linux).

There are, unfortunately, some features banks make mobile app exclusive (e.g. Zelle sometimes, check deposit).

I have a spare phone I keep in my drawer for when I really need a banking app.

Nvidia is diversified in AI, though. Disregarding LLM, it's likely that other AI methodologies will depend even more on their tech or similar.

I guess I don't really see why generative AI is a necessity for a search engine? It doesn't really help me find information any faster than a Wikipedia summary, and is less reliable.

In general — yes. Most of the time they do so by subjecting their eyeballs or ears to ads. Do you think it's a good idea to flood AI models with ads as well?

GNOME Web stopped using Gecko as a backend when it was still embeddable. They decided on WebKit for other reasons.

I think it's unlikely one of those techs "wins" at all. It's relatively easy to support them all from a software perspective and so gamers will just use whichever corresponds to their GPU.

They're being sued by the DOJ too.

Only in Nightly and not by default (you need to enable it).

Isn’t the formula for Roman concrete unknown?

Yes, though a lot of research has been done to figure out its most important properties. A secret of its durability was just figured out last year. https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106
