The End of the Internet As We Know It

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-03-15 01:53:52

The internet as we know it runs on clicks. Billions of them. They fuel ad revenue, shape search results, and dictate how knowledge is discovered, monetized, and, at times, manipulated. But a new wave of AI powered browsers is trying to kill the click. They’re coming for Google Chrome. On Wednesday, the AI search startup Perplexity officially launched Comet, a web browser designed to feel more like a conversation than a scroll.

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-03-15 08:39:44

But the timing is certainly interesting after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok promoted genocidal Nazi ideas on Tuesday, praising Adolf Hitler and suggesting a second Holocaust against Jews was needed. “After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of X,” Yaccarino wrote in a tweet Wednesday morning that immediately got flooded with questions about

Former NBCU ad exec Linda Yaccarino’s tenure at X may have been fairly short — just two years from start to finish — but she did manage to make an impact on the social network’s ad business, new data from ad intelligence firm Guideline shows. Yaccarino will be leaving X in a better position with its advertisers than she found it, it says. In the U.S., ad spending was up 62% year-over-year in the first half of 2025, Guideline notes.

This Linux distro makes openSUSE accessible to all - even newbies should take a look

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET OpenSUSE is a powerful operating system, but I still haven't recommended it to new Linux users. Why? It's too powerful, and it doesn't include essential day-to-day software. That's a shame, because openSUSE is also very reliable, stable, and secure. Fortunately, Antônio Medeiros has created a spin of openSUSE that's more accessible for less-experienced users.
