Apparently hundreds of people on one site. So what? Why do you care so much?

Yeah, it's almost as if opinions vary from person to person. Shocking!

Also Steam uses WebKit across all OSes andMidori is a WebKit-based browser that runs on Windows and Linux. Qt also used WebKit as its embedded browser widget for numerous years. There are also plenty of other cross-platform apps using it. That you got modded Informative for a completely false statement is laughable.

How is WebKit not cross platform? I've used it as part of a cross-platform Qt app for years.

Someone at Slashdot seems to be pushing the "Russia supplied Wikileaks with the DNC hack info" theory as fact when it hasn't been proven.

How has it not been proven? Closing your eyes and plugging your ears to any facts you don't like is not the same as something being unproven. Also, it's funny how you claim that the only logically proven situation is false, but a bunch of right-wing conspiracy theories to deflect blame from Russia are somehow more plausible.

/Cue up the cries of "Russian bot" in 5...4...3...

You're no bot. You're just another useful idiot.

The heck? Citation needed, EditorDavid...

Why would he need to post a citation for someone else's statement? You do know what quote markers mean, right?

Content creator posts public video on a public website.
Artificially restricts who can view it.

Yeah it's called geoblocking. Welcome to the way content licensing and distribution has worked for decades.

What decade do you live in? Most cable companies have tablet and phone apps for both on-demand and live TV watching for years now.

Then go with Sling. Highest cost plan is 52 channels for $40 a month or two smaller tiers for only $25 (one of those with 49 channels the other with 32). It also works on way more devices.

You mean the same Firefox that relies heavily on Google for money? Why presume that Google won't pressure Mozilla to do make the same change or risk losing that funding?

And who would Mozilla turn to? Yahoo? Bing? LOL.

Also it's easy to turn that right back at you if we're playing the blame game:

Timothy McVeigh
Terry Nichols
Gordon Kahl
Eric Rudolph
Robert Gregory Bowers
Scott Paul Beierle
Stephen Paddock
James Alex Fields, Jr.
John Russel Houser
Robert Lewis Dear, Jr.

If you want to play this game I can keep listing more right-wing mass murderers if you want.
