Mozilla's Firefox web browser has a new look. Now rolling out in version 89 is a massive redesign, putting simplified design, cleaner menus, and tab pages front and center.
The biggest change to Firefox in years, Mozilla believes these visual updates will "get you where you want to go even faster." That's because the core experiences of the browser have all been updated so that things are easier to use — from the toolbar, streamlined menus, updated prompts, and a new floating tabs system.
The most significant of the changes that you're likely to notice first is the new inspired tab design. In version 89, your tabs "float" at the top of the title bar, tucking tab information in a neat place, right where you need them. The tabs even have a more rounded design, helping to make moving tabs around a lot easier. Check it out! |

Nvidia faces two primary challenges in 2021. First, no one who wants to actually play games on a GPU can buy one. Second, with the Radeon RX 6900 XT, AMD came within striking distance of Nvidia's crown jewel, the RTX 3090. That wasn't supposed to happen.
The RTX 3080 Ti is Nvidia's solution to both of these problems. But does it solve them or merely kick the can further down the road? I spent some time testing out the new graphics card to find out if it ranks among the best graphics cards you can buy. |

For as long as humans have looked to the stars, we've dreamed of venturing out and visiting these distant places. And no place has been the target of more speculation than Mars. Now, we're finally at a place where the dream of human beings setting foot on another planet could become a reality within our lifetimes.
We understand the technology we need to send humans to Mars, and we have the experience of sending robotic missions there as well. So when are we going to take that next giant leap and send a crewed mission to another planet for the first time? And what will it take to make that happen?
We spoke to space expert Michael Hecht of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, veteran of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and principal investigator of the MOXIE oxygen-making instrument on the Perseverance rover, to understand how we get from Earth to Mars — and how we'll get boots on the ground for the first time. |

TIPS, TRICKS, & TECHNIQUES |
Everyone and their granny has a Wi-Fi connection in their home, but not all of them run as fast as you might like. While that might just mean you need a new router, it's possible someone is thieving your connection, too. Fortunately, there are ways to detect it and block them from accessing it ever again.
As long as you have your media access control (MAC) address and an app or two, you can determine if someone is stealing your Wi-Fi or if your connection is just slow. Here's how. |
