Your email address is one of the easiest ways for websites and advertising companies to identify you online. If you provide the same address to multiple websites, it can potentially be used to connect your activity across different services. Brave is now trying to limit this type of tracking. Starting with desktop version 1.94, the browser has added Email Aliases, which let users provide websites with a different email address instead of revealing their primary one. How do Brave Email Aliases work? Once users create a Brave Account, they can generate an alias directly from an email field on a…

Is a base Lexus ES a better buy than a loaded Camry? You’d think it would be a simple answer but the waters have been muddied, somewhat, with updates and changes – to both vehicles. Both manufacturers have fresh new sedans on offer, with the Camry – which went all-hybrid when it got its redo for 2025 – and the ES, which got a new generation for 2026 with even more drastic changes (also going all-hybrid but now offering an electric version, too). Despite these greater differences, the base ES starts only about $5,000 more than a loaded Camry. So…

She shared the answer after being asked if Helix will be a discless console. She didn’t answer that, but this week Microsoft announced a program for digitizing your physical games.In 2025, Microsoft and AMD announced a “strategic…

It is no secret to the rest of the world: In the US, we love our trucks. They ooze endless capability, and them being the ultimate utilitarian tool is a fact that seems to be ingrained in the American psyche. Not only that, but in the modern era, pickup trucks have become even more well-rounded. With electrification increasing efficiency in lower-displacement models, luxurious amenities and tech-focused features everywhere, the idea of a truck being a single-purpose tool for the average American is a very outdated viewpoint. However, given the innovation in powertrains and refinement in trucks over the past decade…

But if your ego can handle it, the entry-level Air offers the best value. Advertisement – Article continues belowIt’s incredible to think how, only a few…

Mercedes-Benzes – especially high-end models like AMGs – are notorious for shedding value faster than you can say “lease return”. But the last AMG E63 S Wagon will likely prove to be the exception. Given its rarity, burly twin-turbo V8, and room for the whole family, this ultimate wagon has all the ingredients to reach a high depreciation floor – and perhaps even creep upward in value as the years pass.
