| in Apple's Mac App Store (it is in the iOS App Store).

| The screenshot just shows the thread as visible from the
| "latest post" view, but doesn't actually show up in the Mac
| forum area.

| delisting the thread, and thus from the outside it looks like
| "sour grapes" when AgileBits had their feelings hurt

| just _looks_ shady

| I'm going to regret sticking my nose into this, because BW is
| the Internet's darling, but that is demonstrably untrue unless
| one's password management needs are extremely simple
|
| One can dislike AgileBits as a business all they like, but BW
| has a _long way to go_ before it 's a superior replacement
| ilrwbwrkhv wrote:
| Maybe I should clarify. My experience with BW has been as a
| personal password manager. And it is superior to 1P in that
| category.

| periods, I can attest they DGAF about what you think about their

|
| For mobile... it's incredibly fast. I have never had an app scan

| The mobile app is still fully native.

| Every Electron app uses around 400MB RAM. It's not practical for

| with resources, it all adds up and not everyone has 32GB of RAM.
