  If the tech giant, Apple, was intimidated when the popular online video game Fortnite tried to bypass its App Store, it will surely not be happy when PWAs thrive. Progressive web apps obstruct Apple’s granular control over the App Store as they deliver app-like experiences without requiring the users to download a real application.

In 2020, Apple earned over $64 billion from the App Store, according to reports. This is part of the reason why the search giant Google is...

Everyone wants to be heard, and platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat offer just the right amount of attention to them. But what if a group of people starts misusing these platforms? What if sharing these opinions become targeting a particular person and directing hate towards them? Social Media is an excellent way to interact and engage with people, but things spread faster than you can imagine. Teens are using social media, and digital messaging as a convenient method to befriend people, and build and maintain relationships with them. But this level of easy connectivity might result in possible troubling and non...

A VPN generates a private network from a public internet connection to provide us with increased privacy, anonymity, and unlimited access to the internet. It hides the user’s IP address so that your online activity or personal location cannot be traced virtually.
