If you’ve read our round-up of different Firefox variants and tried our recommendation, Light, you’ll notice that it acts as if it is a brand new browser rather than a straightforward change.

Why Use a Controller as a Mouse The most obvious reason to turn your controller into a mouse is if you want to use your computer like a console.

Qatar vs Ecuador. Hmm. It’s not exactly the most exciting of World Cup openers is it? It’s hardly got the potential of an Argentina vs Cameroon in 1990, or a France vs Senegal in 2002… or even the close run thing of Brazil vs Scotland in 1998. Anyway, for some reason FIFA has decided the holders shouldn’t play the first game anymore. We’re not happy about it, but that’s kind of par for the course for this World Cup, which feels like it will be endured rather than enjoyed....
