First video on this channel. Very nice the way you explain. You do some jokes as the hood and laser eyes things, but not too much. Good speaking too, I'm Brazilian and I could understand well.

Other pieces of software that have to fulfill those requirements:
Operating systems
DVD players
Stock trading tools
Visualization tools for engineering, simulating (like Matlab ploter)

I need all the help I can get. I typed on a computer once and it went up in flames. The truth, I sware. I have walked up to two different cash registers and they crashed. I plan to go back over these again.

MosDef, MozDev! I like those basic explanation videos, but I guess they were discontinued. Too bad...

Tiny tiny recommendation on your explanations if you allow me. In order to be more clear on your concepts, don´t try to clarify every one aspect of each concept since the beginning is kind of confusing thing. First sell to us the overall blueprint of the topic (the whole idea), secondly go up step by step with your clarifications and details, otherwise your explanation become kind of confusing. I recognize you´re a master on browsers, programming and others, and thank you for your try, but it seems to me you need to explain this based on a more didactic strategy on how to communicate with real impact this type of real complex topic. Remember hard complex topics = you must keep it simple as far you can, and drive us all way down, please use the ONION strategy of presentations (layer by layer). Thanks for your nice effort!, my regards for you.

current browsers kind of suck on information being processed. All the useful information has been removed and is replaced by the current information of fake articles and bloggers manipulating the information. This is also a problem for students as well since more often the information being recieved from the web is becoming less and less legit. The browsers they do have for students like google scholar haven't been expanded upon and regardless that such browsers do have more acurate information it's often only bits and pieces and should have a much better means of allowing students to use resources more and obtain more information using such programs. Other issues are such parts of the browser such as news are often not legit articles nor does it have a resource on finding old documents such as newspapers. In more modern it is full off blogger info and fake articles made by unprofessional sources. Unfortunately this also makes the internet the worst source to recieve information which unfortunately a lot of people are believing.A huge issue with browsers also these days as well is poor filtering. Maybe the best option is to come up with a new browser that filters information from legit sources from the articles being created by any random person who uses the net. Also to source legit news articles past and present in news sections instead of bloggers. As of current gen browsers there's almost no point using it more then to watch videos and social networks.

A browser simply follows the instructions given to it by the website's author.
It doesn't magically compute anything. It follows instructions, just like the first browser did 25 years ago.
The difference between browsers is based on how quickly they understand those instructions, and how well they compensate for sloppy or malicious instructions.

Jeremie, a piece of genuine constructive criticism; please take some English pronunciation classes. You place the emphasis on all the wrong syllables, you swallow pronouns and other parts of speech, and you often confuse singulars and plurals. You also speak way too fast. The result is it is very hard for English-speakers to understand you fully, which is a shame because you have some great things to tell us. A la rigeur, keep to the deep, slooow, speech that you give when you put your hood up and get all satanic.
