it's still happening for me in case of https://www.google.com/search?q=The+Beatles&kgmid=/m/03j24kf, so it seems it may have not been fixed yet? https://imgur.com/a/8UypW5k

Great. Congratulations.

> (62.5% market share – although given the amount of broken websites (some explicitly Chrome-only!) I’ve found since switching to Firefox.

There is a reason why this percentage is high. Other browsers suck, firefox for me takes forever to start and don't get me started about how long it takes to load a website. It has been copying chrome with it's last few updates but still way too far. I would happily switch to an alternative to chrome which is equally good or atleast is near it but there aren't any I believe.

abhij89··on Announcing unlimited free private repos

abhij89··on Google debuts Tez, a mobile payments app for India
As long as country doesn't mandates using cashless payment modes, launching new payment apps won't help. Country already has too many such apps, with google bringing another it will only eat the competitions share of profit, instead of increasing the demand. Indian people still aren't very comfortable with online payments. They still like to trade in cash.

abhij89··on Slack Closes $250M Funding Round at $5B Valuation
With Microsoft’s Teams catching up, i think Slack need more than just funding and valuation. I have been using it for while and doesn't see much of the development happening. Only thing they have introduced is "Threads", and nothing else which is noticeable. I would love to see few of these in Slack:

- Video calling - Storage - Private Sharing - Guest member - Meeting rooms
