  • 23:1723:17, 22 August 2022 diff hist +58 m Web browser Disambiguated "necessary content" to "files", "displaying on a device" to "graphical rendering on a screen". I argue that by using these terms we keep the reader 'out of the dark' to the actual workings of a browser, without adding much complexity. Use of the term "graphical rendering" especially clarifies that the webpage is not something to be directly displayed but rather consists of instructions for the browser. Tag: Visual edit

  • 22:4322:43, 22 August 2022 diff hist +1 m Dark web Ambiguous "Google browser" corrected to "web browser". Although the former term could have related to either a web browser or search engine, a web browser fits the context better. Tag: Visual edit

  • 14:4614:46, 14 July 2022 diff hist +36 m Free and open-source software the initial phrasing implied that a single piece of software can be licensed under *both* a Free license *and* an open-source (permissive) license, which is not the case. This edit aims to discourage the common [incorrect] use of the term "Free and open-source" when referring to singular programs. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:2614:26, 14 July 2022 diff hist −20 m ClamAV software licensed under the GPL is called free software (as in freedom). Availability of source code is one of the freedoms described in the licensed making the term "free, open-source" redundant Tag: Visual edit
