Zigzag is a Mac browser for people whose browser is about to be switched off. Arc shuts down for good on December 22, taking the spaces and pinned tabs a lot of people arranged their working life around, and Zigzag comes in at 18 MB against Arc's 871 because it sits on WebKit, which macOS already has, with one import bringing over your spaces, pinned tabs, favorites, history and passwords, though not whatever you had open at the time. Split view, peek on shift-click, Chrome extensions and ad blocking are all in there, and there's no account and no server anywhere in it, so nobody can really switch it off *cough* Browser Company *cough*

Deduplication is a site that works out whether a word still means what it used to, taking 719 terms that tech borrowed and scoring each against live Wikipedia pageviews, so you get whether the original meaning is holding, whether it's contested somewhere in the 40 to 60 range, or whether the tech one has simply taken the word. Cloud, cookie and mouse have all gone. Prompt and token are the ones still in the balance, which is to say about as many people are currently looking up the coin as the thing a language model counts, and it's free, out of HackerNoon, with a leaderboard running off the last 30 days of attention.

Keypause switches your Mac keyboard off so you can wipe it, which sounds like a joke right up until you remember what a damp cloth does to a live keyboard. Control-Option-Command-K and every key goes dead for anywhere between 30 seconds and ten minutes, then comes back on its own. The mouse and trackpad keep working so you can't lock yourself out, the panel never takes focus so whatever you were watching carries on, and there's a mascot called Kip, a keycap that sleeps while the keys are off and wakes up celebrating when they return, and it's free and open source on Apple Silicon Macs.
