- DuckDuckGo ★★★★☆ A private-ish search engine that’s also serving less slop than Google. Disposable email aliases are convenient. The browser extension and standalone browser block known trackers, and the Android app can block trackers in other apps too.
- GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) ★★★⯪☆ A rare WebKit browser for Linux. Handles the basics, but it’s specifically designed for GNOME, and it’s limited in what it can do around websites. Well-suited for PWAs, though!

The most obvious is that Windows-only web designers will no longer have an excuse for not […]
- Safari on Windows
Wow. I have to admit I was not expecting this at all, but Apple has just announced they’re releasing the Safari web browser for Windows. Increased consumer choice, of course, is a good thing. The most immediate benefit, though, is that Windows-based web developers (the majority) who haven’t been willing to buy a Mac to […]
