Why Modern Web is So Heavy? Not only me but everyone who surfs through modern websites, especially old peoples must noticed that most websites they browse are heavy nowadays, even though it’s actual purpose is very simple. This issues can be easily/instantly noticed on machine running on older hardware and low ram. In such scenarios, these sites are enough to freeze the browser or computer of user. So many people just end up in a conclusion that, the issue is their browser, processor, ram, or just network issues. But no. No matter which browser they use (chrome, safari, or Firefox), what happening is not an issue occurred on the rendering process but how the websites itself is made. ...

Life itself is designed to be disturbing and complex. The pain never leaves until death arrives. I see death as a saviour. Like me, did you ever think about the inherent meaning of life? What is the purpose of life? What meaning does it have? What is the end goal? Then I am happy that I am not alone with such thoughts. This type of thought has a name in philosophy: nihilism. ...

In the past everyone used direct IP address to visit websites over the internet. Nowadays, people remember simple domain names. Instead of remembering and typing a group of complex numbers, users are now able to directly type the domain name (duckduckgo.com, privacyguides.org, startpage.com, etc.) on the URL bar to visit and browse the website they want. Ever thought, what triggered this change? What allows us to comfortably remember domain names instead of complex IP addresses of millions of website? This service is called DNS. ...

A quick note: I’m not a therapist or psychologist. Everything I’ve shared here comes from my own self-study, reading, and research on trauma and mental health. This post is just meant to be educational and helpful. If you’re struggling with trauma related issues and need help, please consider reaching out to a professional who can give you personal support. We like to spend time with our family, there is a lot of work to do, we have our favorite hobbies like reading, writing, journaling, art, or even going for a walk. But because of some repeated and disturbing thoughts we often pull ourselves back from doing what we really like. These heavy thoughts are called overthinking anxiety. There is a high chance this overthinking and anxiety is a result of a trauma we always carry inside our mind. Let’s look at what trauma is and how it can affect our lives in unexpected ways. ...

In the modern internet most of our daily activities on the internet like browsing data, transactions, calls and messaging via encrypted messengers, dns queries, https protocol, etc. Still many of us don’t really know what exactly an encryption is and how it works. Let’s take a deep dive into it. 1. What is Encryption? Encryption is a method of converting actual data into a unreadable scrambled format (known as ciphertext). The process is done using various mathematical operations, algorithms and complex digits. The encrypted data is locked with a instantly generated cryptographic key to prevent decryption by anyone on the internet. So only who have the matching encryption key can unlock and read the encrypted data. ...

In order to protect our privacy online, we use services like an ad blocker, switch to privacy-focused browsers, use more privacy focused apps, degoogle, install custom ROMs, etc. But how many of the users know that there is a serious privacy threat always following us, leaking identifiable data to data brokers and advertisers? A threat that an operating system, its settings, system/user apps, DNS, VPN, or even a firewall can’t protect us from. It is called location tracking. ...

In 2026, the web and the technologies used in it have evolved a lot. This has also led to the effectiveness of online tracking methods, which made it nearly impossible to prevent. Once we defined online tracking just by a simple cookie. Now all the websites we use, even basic ones, are deploying dozens of tracking techniques on their websites with the help of big tech companies. Some are visible while many are invisible. At the end, they identify, profile, and follow users across the internet 24x7. ...

Can you actually count how many social media platforms exist in 2026? Count with me… Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, X (former Twitter), threats, Blue Sky, Quora, Clubhouse, WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok, Telegram, Pinterest, Discord, Twitch, and Tumblr. Did it end? No. It didn’t and never will. Each year some new social media platform launches by someone. Now, you say how many of these social media apps are installed on your phone, or at least you have an account on one. Probably in 4 or 5 platforms? ...

We got an introduction to short-form content (short-form videos) from TikTok. Then after the ban of TikTok in various countries due to privacy problems, it triggered a massive adoption of this strategy in popular social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, X, and even Reddit. These platforms saw the absence of TikTok; there is a chance to get more users and interaction from these short-form content strategies. YouTube was a well-known platform for its educational videos and long-form content. Instagram was a photo-sharing app that wasn’t related to short-form videos at all. X was for tweets and sharing news. Then still, why did they all decide to adopt short-form content in the absence of TikTok? Let’s discuss. ...

There is something so shady about the most used browser in this world, which is Google Chrome. No matter how many competitors with unavoidable features came into the browsers war, Google Chrome still dominates the web, not just because it is owned by Google, but because there is more than what you think. Every time you open the browser “Google Chrome,” you aren’t just accessing the internet like you do on a normal web browser. You are stepping inside a world’s largest advertising tool; its parent company efficiently utilizes it to harvest data about almost everything and show targeted advertising. ...
