Google's new Skills feature in Chrome allows users to save their favorite AI prompts, making it easier to access them across different webpages without retyping.

Artix is about the art of creating a unique Linux distribution while replacing several of the usual bits and pieces. It eschews systemd in favor of either OpenRC or dinit, allowing users to choose their preferred init system.

What started in 2019 as a couple of utilities for things like window and shortcut management has gradually expanded to nearly 30 useful tools, including a keyboard shortcut creator, an image-to-text extractor, and a better search bar than the one that's built into Windows proper. PowerToys has become wildly popular among Windows power users, with more than 70 million downloads to date, but it's also completely free, with no ads, Office upsells, or ham-fisted Copilot integrations.

This feature has been developed to give our users maximum real estate for control, without losing the controls they would like to have available. It works in both full screen and restored/normal window.

Opera GX on Linux offers a unique GX Control feature that allows users to manage memory limits, network limits, and control resource-heavy tabs, enhancing performance and user experience.

Dear JS ecosystem, I love you, but you have a dependency management problem when it comes to the Web, and the time has come for an intervention. No, this is not another rant about npm's security issues. Abstraction is the cornerstone of modern software engineering. Reusing logic and building higher-level solutions from lower-level building blocks is what makes all the technological wonders around us possible. Imagine if every time anyone wrote a calculator they also had to reinvent floating-point arithmetic and string encoding!

The first is that the UI is highly customizable. One of my favorite customizations is the ability to move the search bar to the bottom of the window, which makes it much easier to use Opera with one hand. The second is that Opera has a built-in AI tool called Aria, and it is pretty fantastic. Aria was the first AI tool I used, and I often use it before any other service.

Ever since Mosaic, the first web browser introduced in 1993, browsers have included bookmarking features that let users quickly return to favorite sites. Today, bookmarks are even more important, especially on PCs and Macs, where the browser has become the most frequently used software. It serves as the gateway to email, news, entertainment, video calls, shopping, banking and even word processing, graphic design, tax preparation and much more.

Ever since the Opera browser introduced Workspaces, it's been my go-to browser for staying seriously organized. When you have 50 tabs open, they can badly crowd your browser window, so Workspaces has become a must-have feature for any browser I use. Opera does workspaces better than any other browser. Also: Opera's sidebar upgrade makes it easier to access your favorite apps - here's how Soon, Opera (aka Opera One) will add even more features to help you become better organized, more creative, and more productive.

The implementation is straightforward for those running the latest Nightly version. Users can jump into the action by right-clicking an active tab or selecting two tabs at once. According to the official Firefox Nightly News report: "You can right click on a tab to add it to a split view, and from there select the other tab you'd like to view in the split. Or, multi-select 2 tabs with Ctrl/Cmd, and choose 'Open in Split View' from the tab context menu."

On those rare occasions when I use AI, I always opt for a local version. Most often, that comes in the form of Ollama installed on a desktop or laptop. I've been leery of using cloud-based AI for some time now for several reasons: It consumes vast amounts of energy. There's no way to be certain it honors privacy claims. I don't want any of my queries or data to be used for training LLMs.

BrowserCoPilot is designed to make your workflows easier and faster - and completely customized to you, your prompts, and your writing style. One useful example? Integrate the program directly to your inbox, and let it create one-click emails that use your phrasing and tone, and that gather context from your conversations. Or, write directly in the browser to revise or analyze documents using your saved prompts - or upload images and PDFs to interact with directly.

A JavaScript script saved as a bookmark is called a 'bookmarklet,' although some people also use the term 'favelet' or 'favlet.' Bookmarklets have been around since the late 90s. The site that coined them, bookmarklets.com, even remains around today. They're simple and versatile, a fact evidenced by most of the bookmarklets listed on the aforementioned site are still working today despite being untouched for over two decades.
