Your Browser Can Already Speak a Page

Users can customize the features built into the browser, something not often available from third-party approaches. Is an “AI” company offering to provide spoken versions of your pages for users? Is an overlay company promising to make your content more accessible by its overlay speaking it? Is some other vendor…

Create a split-screen view by tiling tabs with drag and drop.

Instead of constantly switching back and forth between tabs, you can tile tabs to create a split-screen view. Tab Tiling lets you compare, reference, monitor, and think in parallel. There are a few different ways to tile tabs, but drag and drop is probably the easiest one.

To tile tabs:

  • Have one of the tabs you want to tile open in the active tab.
  • Find the other tab from the Tab Bar and start dragging it towards the page.
  • Move the mouse to the side where you want the dragged tab to be in the tiled view – left, right, top or bottom.
  • Release the mouse button to create a tiled view.
  • You can add more tabs to the tiled view with the same method.

    Spending the snow day looking at 404 pages of various websites and let me yell you now: they're very unique and creative in what websites do.

    #404notfound #creativity #web #webpages

    “a recent #PewResearchCenter study on digital decay found that 38 percent of #webpages accessible in 2013 are not accessible today.

    This happens because pages are taken down, #URLs are changed, and entire #websites vanish, as in the case of dozens of #ScientificJournals and all the critical research they contained. This is especially acute for #news

    How to disappear completely

    The promise of the internet is that it would last forever. But that has proven to be largely untrue, as huge swaths of the web are vanishing, quickly and at random.

    Preview web pages before opening them in Vivaldi on iOS.

    In Vivaldi on iOS, you don’t need to play a guessing game of what will actually open when you go to the link. Simply preview the link to get a sneak peek of the content before committing to opening it.

    To preview a link:

  • On the web page you’re on, find a link that you want to check out.
  • Long-press on it to see a preview of the page.
  • In case you don’t see previews or, conversely, want to hide them:

  • Go to Settings > Content settings.
  • Toggle on/off “Show link previews”.
