Firefox add-on Tab Groups version 2 is massive

Tab Groups version 2 is a massive update for the highly popular Firefox add-on that filled the gap after Mozilla decided to pull the Tab Groups native feature from the web browser.

Vivaldi 1.2 Browser now available

Vivaldi 1.2 is the latest stable version of the popular web browser that brings along with it editable gestures, clearer download progress, more tab improvements and a truckload of fixes and minor improvements.

Vivaldi has quickly risen to popularity thanks to a development philosophy that focuses on giving users choice when it comes to the browser instead of streamlining it by removing choice or not giving users choice in first place.

How to disable Windows 10 Live Tiles permanently

The following guide walks you through the process of turning off Windows 10 Live Tiles permanently.

I have no use for Live Tiles and explained my reasoning previously here on Ghacks. First, I don't really use many applications as I prefer desktop programs over them for a variety of reasons.

But even for applications that I use, I find live tiles to be a hindrance if not an annoyance rather than something that is beneficial.

I can see them work well on mobile devices but not so much on the desktop.
