...what.

I don't think you understand how prefixes are used in the wild. Vendor prefixes re-inforce monoculture, they don't prevent it.


FWIW, these aren't actually enabled in 46 unless you flip the `layout.css.prefixes.webkit` pref to true.

(We hope to flip that to true by default soon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259345)


just gugel it


Heh, just "ied" will give you this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device

"ied package manager" works, though.


Normally, I am not a fan of replacing words in the search engine with computer science stuff (think AJAX), but I can accept computer words replacing words that symbolize violence.


Your results, even when logged out, are heavily biased towards your previous query genres. For instance, I'm not logged in, but am at home with an IP address that hasn't changed in over a year despite being leased. When I search Google for the term "Ruby", the entire first page is for the Ruby programing language.

My father works with jewelry. Last week while visiting him, I did in fact search for the term "Ruby" on his computer in his normal browser, and even though he was also logged out, I wasn't able to find one result dealing with the programming language on the first two pages.


Google understands that Ruby can mean different things to different people, although I don't think it's gotten there with "ied" yet (and rightfully so, it's probably not searched for very often, except in the violent sense)


That sounds like just begging to be put on a list, though :)


Hi, I disagree (not just because I authored the patch linked here). Web sites are never punished. Our users are.


Have a quick view-source at http://portal.mj.gov.br/EstrangeiroWEB/destaques.asp for those who can't imagine what VBScript dystopia looks like.


where else you'd find such a pearl?

brazilian government FML! I mean, FTW!


Yeah this was just a soft-launch for MWC. We're planning a proper launch soon with more context for the user, proper feature detection, categories, etc.

The goal is to get something decent on all browsers--and we'll open the repo on github for those who want to help us get there.


It does have socks proxy support now, just FYI.


Glad that they finally added it.

If it was available ~8 years ago I might have been using Opera.

Does it have proxy pac file support also?


What about shoes proxy support?


And for users who choose not to install it, do they get a modal prompt for every page load?



Yipes. Maybe I can take solace in the fact that mine is "handlebars.js" (plural)?


One could, at a minimum, do a Github search before naming their project.


One of them is even an extension of Mustache: http://github.com/leeoniya/handlebar.js

Naming projects is the worst.


MP3s are for the birds.
