   Bitly Review - Amazing Experience.

   Bitly is a URL shortening service and a link management platform. The company Bitly, Inc., was established in 2008. It is privately held and based in New York City. Bitly shortens 600 million links per month, for social networking, SMS, and email. Bitly makes money by charging for access to aggregate data created because of many people using the shortened URLs.

   The Bitly URL shortening service became popular on Twitter after it became the default URL shortening service on the website on May 6, 2009. It was subsequently replaced by Twitter's own t.co service.

   The company uses HTTP 301 redirects for its links. The shortcuts are intended to be permanent and cannot be changed once they are created. URLs that are shortened with the bitly service use the bit.ly domain or any other generic domain that the service offers.

  For those unfamiliar, Servo is a web rendering engine originally started at Mozilla Research.

Many of Servo's innovations actually made their way into Firefox over the years (Stylo, WebRender). - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Ladybird Browser Adopts Rust

  Firefox was special in that Mozilla created Rust to build Servo and then backported parts of Servo to Firefox and ultimately stopped building Servo. Thankfully Servo has picked up speed again and if one wants a Rust based browser engine what better choice than the one the language was built to enable? https://servo.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Perplexity Comet vs. ChatGPT Atlas

  I very much dislike that they arent available for linux. Which means I havent tested them; I also dont see a need for them. I dont want or use AI in the browser. Brave has had Leo for ages now. Qwen3 14b in the cloud is a fine model, no thanks though. I very much prefer my local llama private models for privacy. None of these ai browsers let you go local; but even if they did, I doubt id use it anyway. What the... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Create your own Censorship-Resistant Links for X and More!

  Platforms like X (formerly Twitter) can block or censor links to certain sites like they recently did to Signal.me, even when those links contain important information. A link shortener or redirect may work in the short term, but sites like Bitly and TinyURL create new single points of failure when platforms block them instead. What we want to do instead is leverage unique domains, like one you may already own for... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
