Google Cuts off Chrome Extensions That Don’t Come From the Web Store
A while back Google said that it would stop letting Windows users install Chrome extensions that didn’t come directly from the Web Store. The company ended up delaying the plan, but there is no more fighting it. Today users of the stable channel of Chrome on Windows will no longer be able to install extensions from outside the Web Store. That won’t impact too many users thankfully, but it could make it difficult for those that like to run experimental add-ons.

I’ll admit, the first time I encountered this behavior in iOS 7, I was…

There are nice librairies to make writing Selenium tests more user friendly. Fluentlenium is one of those nice tools. But Selenium’s problem is not really with its syntax. It’s the complexity of writing stable tests. It’s hell! It would be great if Selenium tests didn’t fail every other day If you test modern websites with Selenium, you end up playing with waits and timers. Very often people put random Thread.sleep(s) into their test code because they are just fed up trying to understand …
