I'm impressed and slightly surprised that I can browse the web even when my local library's wifi blocks detectportal.firefox.com ("Download sites are banned"). It seems that Firefox only requires the website to be redirected when there's a captive portal.

One advantage I've come to appreciate about Dash/Zeal docsets: it's really nice having focused search. The text search is constrained to the languages I care about enough to download the docset, substantially increasing the relevance. In Google I'd need to specify the language.

GitHub tracks download counts for releases, so I can see that macOS releases of difftastic downloaded are downloaded much less frequently! I don't know if it's proportional to usage though. All these operating systems have several package managers.
