Image
Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a tutorial.       If you have ever wanted to use a website the way it appears on a desktop computer or gain extra functionality of certain websites, you should force it to load in desktop mode. This is how you do it in Edge Mobile.                                               How To       Click The Hamburger Menu On the Right Of the Screen. Click that button. This will open a menu.

Five Problems With Dex

1. YouTube Does Not Play In other Tabs     Youtube needs to be able to play in the background in, at least, Samsung Internet. This is useful for productivity and entertainment. Also for some reason, live chats do not load properly on Samsung Internet.  2. No Inspect Menu/Desktop Class Browser   There needs to be an inspect menu for browsers this would help web developers do their job and would open up plenty of opportunity for more  DEX users to switch, especially with new laptop docks and monitors coming out. Two finger tapping also does not highlight text  most of the time, and somotimes Autofill only works on the touchscreen.        A desktop-class browser would also mean we could have extensions (like Grammarly) and connect external cameras and share screens with streaming services such as Streamyard. (UserLand has a desktop Firefox in the PlayStore but I could not try it out as it is paid.) 3. No External Camera Support ...

I Used Sidekick Browser For A Week!!

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special review of the new Sidekick Browser. Sidekick browser is a new browser that is supposed to look at the web in a different way.  What is Sidekick?      The browser looks at the web as a set of applications. On startup, you can set up some applications such as Instagram, Figma, the Google suite of applications, and Notion. They also claim it is faster than Chrome and is 'privacy-friendly.' Your applications are docked to the left side of your screen, and there is a toggle that can turn it off.  Features:      You can make tabs and links into 'apps', and Sidekick has an 'app store' that allows you to add apps like Google Messages, Github, Asana, and more.  There is a built-in adblocker and it can show tabs side by side.  Day to Day:     This browser has a minimal learning curve if you have used Chrome for a long time. The only new visible features are the sidebar and the dual tab icon. The s...

    (Google is Fine)    Hello, this is TheTechBoy with six reasons Why Google is better than DuckDuckGo. While Google does track and store websites you view, you can turn saving the websites you go off, or make it Incognito. This would effectually make it as private as DuckDuckGo.  1. Integration with other Google Services Integration with other Google services such as Gmail, Google Photos, and others.  2. More Relevant Search Results   Even in guest or incognito mode. Notice in the Google Results on the Left, the Ads have nice pictures and the Samsung website is on the top. The "People Also Ask" panel is also ingenious and informative. Notice the Ads, and how low the Samsung.com website is in DuckDuckGo search. (On the Right) DuckDuck go does provide relevant picture ads for some searches such as "A51".                                         ...
