A girl, engineered to be a killer, flees her keepers, but as a woman she pursues general vigilante justice by helping a crime-fighting genius.
This series hits the ground running, featuring not just a stupifyingly hot Jessica Alba, but a great world, plot and everything else.
However, like too many series', Dark Angel suicide-bombs like it's been lit on fire and is heading for a volcano to end it's suffering. Not only is the second season bad enough to end the show, it's bad enough to not watch, even and especially for people who like the first.

Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome to build a more security-conscious browser which also has an alternate advertising mechanism with revenue sharing.
Like Chrome, it's missing fundamental things.
- You gain access to an artificial intelligence with it.

Somehow people are outfitted with total full-realism augmented reality as a way of putting cameras everywhere and somehow everyone is surprised when they are somehow hacked.
It might have been good, but it requires too much of a suspension of disbelief and it's confusing; not recommended.

Abandoned - As of 2022-02-18 - The project was to be reworked to be based on Firefox instead of Brave, but that didn't seem to get off the ground.

Appends the 'Now Playing' info to a text file.
I use it to save the title when listening to a web radio station that puts the artist/song in VLC's title.

An personal information collection website which rewards with a trickle of money.
I found surveys which were broken, offers which were suspect, items which wanted my credit card information or to install random software. Overall, the hype that others give this website makes me think less of humanity.
After this glance, I expect I'll be getting a lot of junk mail. Sigh.
- It's sometimes unhappy with Pale Moon.
- Some of it might be unhappy with Bluhell Firewall, though disabling that didn't help when I had problems.
- Some stores don't ship to your country.

Receiving a gift is great, but receiving it from a stranger is worrying because it's a breach of privacy.

This looks like it hasn't been updated in forever, because there are references to it being tested under Windows 95/98.
