Here is a fun thing. I work for Vivaldi Browser. Load any of our websites and you see no cookie banner and no mention of partners.

"But wait" you say, "didn't those terrible Europeans mandate the cookie banner!?"

No, no they did not. We do not need a cookie banner because we are not selling all your shit to every company under the sun.

Also those sites with cookie banners are just doing malicious compliance. This was never about the EU requiring cookie banners!

Vivaldi Browser | Powerful, Personal and Private web browser

It’s a web browser. But fun. It comes with a bunch of clever features built-in. It’s super flexible and does not track you. Get the Vivaldi browser for desktop, mobile, and your car!

This is interesting. My experience of "pair programming" has been mostly positive. I find working with a partner towards a shared goal more motivating than working alone. The sense of not wanting to let your partner down provides a good incentive for doing good work.

Mapping this experience across to a job-share, I can see how this could benefit employers as well as employees.

It does, of course, depend a lot on who you partner with. In cases where you don't align well with your partner, it can definitely prove a less positive experience. And I guess that's where these apps come in...

The principles and vision behind this are exactly why we developed Web Components to just *be* HTML. Increasing access, interop, and view-source-ability are precious to those of us who build the platform:
