  • The monopoly position helped for sure but I think it’s glossed over that at one point Internet Explorer was simply the best web browser on the market. It’s was only after years of mismanagement by Microsoft that it gained the reputation it has now. But there was a point in the late 90s early 2000s where Netscape was a super buggy mess and Internet Explorer was the best browser on the market.

    That was true for Chrome as well, when that first hit the market it was a light and amazing browser. There were a lot of technology savvy early adopters for Chrome.

    This is a good step but I still feel like it’s pretty obscure where a package is actually coming from. “by Google” or for the Steam package “by Valve” is really confusing and makes it sounds like it’s coming directly from the company. Unverified tells the user to pay attention but there is no hover over to say what it actually means.


  • I am using B2 now - I started using it before they added the encrypted buckets and am using restic to encrypt everything. It’s nice because I don’t really have to trust Blackblaze at this point aside from them not losing my data.

    I’ve since additionally turned on encryption on my buckets, but as far as I know they store the key for you, so in terms of privacy it’s not the best.
