“Windows Lite is Microsoft’s long-awaited answer to Chrome OS”
There’s a good chance that if the reports are true that MS is ditching EdgeHTML, it has something to do with this.
“Michael Tsai - Blog - On Switching From an iPad Pro and a MacBook to a Pixelbook”
Michael Tsai pulls together an overview of the discussion around Frasier Spiers blog post on moving from the Mac to ChromeOS.
Some thoughts that cross my mind about the possibility of MS ditching EdgeHTML in favour of Chromium:
- What happens to Edge’s EPUB support?
- Will Edge keep the same annotation features?
- Web Publications will have lost their likeliest candidate for in-browser implementation
To understand the Yule Cat legend you need historical context: the extreme poverty in Iceland, how people resew clothes to make them feel new and preserve their dignity, and how, in starvation, getting children to understand the priorities of starvation.
“Microsoft is building a Chromium-powered web browser that will replace Edge on Windows 10”
I’ll be really disappointed if this is the case. EdgeHTML is a really nice rendering engine with its own trade offs. A browser monoculture could destroy the web.
That thing where you have a bug that happens all the time but simply can’t reproduce that one time you actually need to reproduce it.
Fun times.

“Elsku Stelpur (Dear Girls) - YouTube”
An amazing performance on gender equality by a group of girls from my old high school.
The whole ‘gang of criminal rogues roam space and have adventures’ genre has been done quite a few times (Blake’s 7, Firefly, The Expanse) but my favourite of the type is always going to be Henson’s Farscape.
I seem to have misplaced by favourite fidget spinner 😑
Another fact about Iceland’s manufactured external image: only 3 still-in-effect laws have been translated into a non-Icelandic language, all into English. And Google translate is extremely broken for Icelandic. So, most journalists are working with secondary sources at best.
