📰 Raspberry Pi owners are missing this one free tweak that changes everything

A couple of years ago, when I was working on my Raspberry Pi 5, I noticed that it was very slow. I googled possible reasons, and the main one was its lack of RAM. It has 4 gigs of RAM, but I noticed that running multiple Chromium tabs made it run at a snail's pace. So, I looked for ways to increase the RAM. Given that I was using an SD Card as a hard drive, using a swap file wasn't really an option. However, I found a program called ZRAM and...

A bold new look arrives in Vivaldi 8.0, the latest update to the Chromium-based web browser. Vivaldi 8.0 sees the browser’s main UI elements (the bits that make a browser looks like a browser, so tabs, toolbars, panels, and content) drop their boundaries to form a continuous look. Hence the named Unified. “Unified is not a visual refresh.

📰 I ditched Chrome and Firefox for this snappy open-source browser, and it exceeded expectations

Google Chrome might be one of the three most recognizable web browsers for Windows, topping Microsoft's pre-installed Edge and Mozilla Firefox, built on the Gecko engine. While Chrome and Edge share the Chromium underpinnings, they aren't the lone exemplars of the engine's capabilities. Since Chromium is open-source, it has spawned an array of web browsers that hope to edge out Chrome (pun intended) with distinct features.
