CSS HTML Validator Support

I think it really sad that browsers as components are now hard to do. This is an important part of many potential software solutions. Without it we're forced to use browsers plus web servers.

Thanks for that. I find it disturbing of how the " free browser " game has played out. It's led to the rise of advertising , and with users hooked on it, they end up wasting so much (Their time , getting bad content , bandwidth ...) I wonder how much the value of the deal influenced the la...

Second set of layoffs recently. Their revenue stream has been like that for a long time. They know that Google will eventually go for the jugular. This is one reason I'd much rather pay for a browser, a browser that actually does what I want. Then I wouldn't be in the hands of designers who don't ca...

I see that Mozilla is laying off 25% of its people.

We are in danger of going in the wrong direction. I see suggestions that Chromium may fork.

By the earlier web I'm thinking of my experience. True there was a lot of ugly material and bad intent but there were also a good number of people doing inventive and powerful things. I remember multiple scripting languages, I even had somebody sending me instructions on how to plug my own language ...

It's an interesting area. The likes of Pocket and Instapaper show some of the possibilities. The 85X metric suggests that less than 2% of web traffic is useful to the audience. Think about that. We get more than 80 times greater capacity from the existing web if we ditch the garbage. People do serio...

Some browsers have reading modes that alter the content we create. Here's an extension of that, under development, which does more. ( This page is from 2018, development is under way. ) https://brave.com/speed-reader/ I wonder what this sort of thing will do to web development? It might increase the...

Yep I had the dubious pleasure of using a Teletype machine many years ago. I remember how carriage return and line feed were distinct "commands". It looks deliberate. With two symbols there are 3 ways of doing it (barring LFCR) and we've got all of them. That tool is a great way of doing i...

Thanks. The emojis, in my view, are a bit of a mess. In this case I was seeing whether one could create decent symbols along the line of a no smoking sign. A circle with diagonal slash laid over an underlying image. In this case it was a "no regurgi-posting" symbol that I attempted to make...

I periodically find that I'm working on a file with mixed line endings in it. (I've not checked thoroughly, I think they arise when somebody else touches a file and I use a diff tool to merge some of their lines with my own OR somebody else manufactures it.) I'm interested in how other people "...

Some time ago I was experimenting with emojis. (In the end I wasn't impressed with the coherence of the system.) While doing that I found one emoji that Validator 2020 didn't recognise. ( It was an odd one, that I'm embarrassed to mention, but it was part of the test suite, "🤮"...

Thanks for this post.

Do they only renew a year at a time or can you pay for multiple years?

Do you have any experience with Domains.com? Comments about them?

I just converted my Edge (non (development / "canary") version) to the Chromium based version. So I can't testing, in that browser, on the EdgeHTML engine any more. A bit of a pity. EdgeHTML is still available as a component that I can add to any program, so it has important potential. Any...

I just checked in two versions of Edge. The original and a "Canary Build" of the Chromium version.

I can confirm that it works in both. Those are versions 44... and 82...

Agreed the organic links are the ones to click. I find it concerning how the surveillance is steadily widening. I see that Google has now got hold of more pre-existing medical information, through a company called Ascension (from 150 US hospitals). I also find people sharing links (all too often) th...
