Search engine crawlers identify themselves (user agents), so they can be prevented by both honor-based system (robots.txt) and active blocking (error 403 or similar) when attempted.

Seems like it will fulfill its purpose then - to protect said teenager's data.

The problem with Language Transfer is its very limited language selection and its format.

Duolingo allows reading, writing, listening and speech (last two can be disabled if unsuitable in your context), and it does not impose daily limits. I've yet to find an alternative app that does all 5 of those things.

FYI, Fleksy is up to date, free and uses a very similar concept.

ChatGPT itself doesn't know where it got the info from, so it makes up links and names - it's a language model, not a search engine.

On the other hand, if you manage to find a reputable source and give it relevant metadata, it can format a nice citation for you, saving you time on that instead.

I don't think it is "forced", just the new default (unless explicitly disabled in a view), which is nice to see. Additionally, I didn't see much relevance to Play Store - it seemed to be a system-level thing.

Indeed, they don't have to bring back the XUL. The power users would just appreciate...

  • new extension APIs that interact with the browser UI
  • bring back toolbar customization that was removed for no reason (we can't even move the extension button at this point...)
  • bring back compact mode and better themes (without requiring CSS and about:config tweaks)

The security tool will work in the background to detect apps that use suspicious permissions, like the ability to spy on screen content or read SMS messages.

What has "suspicious" got to do with "malicious"?

I think it will be back this March with the new laws (Digital Markets Act).

Opera is still used by 2.86% of the world, while Netscape probably has less than 100 users.
