Why I ditched Google Chrome for Firefox Focus within 10 minutes of using the mobile browser

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Firefox Focus is a security and privacy-focused mobile browser. This browser offers a minimal UI and maximum privacy features. Firefox Focus is available for both Android and iOS. I've run the gamut of web browsers on Android, and every time I think I've found "the one," I discover a reason not to use it. That reason might be a cluttered UI, a lack of options, or not enough security. Recently, however, I came across a browser

In today’s competitive software development landscape, organizations are actively looking to optimize their Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to deliver faster, with better quality, and reduce friction.

Exit Tax: Leave Germany before your business gets big

news.ycombinator.com Oliver Eidel 2025-12-07 23:06:50

Here’s an interesting take on Germany’s exit tax, which I have written about before: Leave Germany before your business gets big. What do I mean by that? I mean that once you’re a business owner in Germany and your business has reached a certain size, you are essentially barred from ever moving out of the country again. Crazy, right? I think it’s also pretty crazy that no one really talks about this. This is, quite literally, erecting a “Berlin Wall” around German entrepreneurs, forcing them

Trump opens door for crypto in retirement accounts

Trump opens door for crypto in retirement accounts But critics say it could increase risks for savers. The move is intended to eventually give everyday workers new access to investments formerly reserved for wealthy individuals and institutions, while opening up previously untouched pools of funding for firms in those fields.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season has had a bit of an awkward tone issue. Across four episodes already, we’ve switched episode-to-episode from pretty grim circumstances (a Gorn attack here, a zombie outbreak there) to lighthearted silliness (an encounter with Trelane here, a holodeck murder mystery there). Even as those individual episodes haven’t all entirely worked to varying degrees, this back-and-forth has only really helped to make the show feel a bit aimless. So while this week’s

Next Year’s MacBook Pro Refresh Could Fix the Screen’s Ugliest Feature

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-09 16:10:55

Ever since Apple released its iPhone 14 Pro in 2022, Apple has had the answer to the absolute worst element of today’s MacBook displays. And still, the dreaded “notch” remained. The notch that hangs just below the top screen bezel, encompassing the webcam cutout, is like a stalactite hanging precariously above the main screen. The next MacBook Pro refresh could finally see Apple break out its chisel to remove the notch as it gears up for its most important laptop refresh of the last half-decade.

A few days ago, OpenAI released an open-source language model for the first time in a very long time. It had been promised for a while, but the deadline kept being pushed for “safety” concerns. In fact, they’ve put quite a bit of time and effort into discussing safety, because, ostensibly, safety and ethics is at the top of people’s minds. So, the public is worried about AI ethics, and OpenAI is putting efforts into making sure the AI is ethical. Sounds like a match. Not just a match, but a

A Sonos Price Hike Is About to Make a Bad Situation Even Worse

As a company, there are lots of things you can do when people are upset with your product. You could offer concessions (discounts in an effort to drive demand), swap your CEO (that’s a statement and a vibe shift), or you could pledge to do better and actually fix issues making people upset (imagine that!).

The Best Hearing Aids of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

How much money should you expect to spend on a hearing aid? The answer depends primarily on whether you’re looking into over-the-counter or prescription hearing aids. Unsurprisingly, the latter is a wallet guzzler, with average costs between $2,000 to $8,000. But OTCs can ring up quite a tab in their own right, and our most highly rated devices will still run you about $800 to $2,000 a pair. So far, we haven’t found an OTC device under this $800 price that is truly effective at treating hearing
