CCATP #814 — Adam Engst on Deep Linking and VPN Survey


Listen Later

In this week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Adam Engst joins me to talk about two recent articles he wrote for TidBITS.

This link will not only take them to the right spot on the page, but it will highlight the text you selected. Learn the details in Adam's article: Text Fragments Enable Deep Linking on Web Pages.

Next up, we talk about a survey Adam conducted amongst TidBITS readers asking them about their usage of VPNs.
