Windows 10 has been out for little over a month; reason enough to find out how the operating system did usage share wise.

NetMarketShare's published desktop operating system usage share statistics for August 2015 indicate that Microsoft's new operating system Windows 10 jumped straight to position four of the most used operating system from not being in the top 10 a month earlier.

It surpassed Linux, all Mac OS X editions as well as Windows Vista and Windows 8 in that single month.

A recent Mozilla Wiki entry reveals that Mozilla plans to add contextual identities to the Firefox web browser which allow users of the browser to separate certain data types from each other.

This would benefit Firefox users in several ways, for instance by allowing them to sign in to web services at the same time or by using custom identities for select websites only to block the service from tracking users across the Internet.

While this can be done with multiple Firefox profiles as well, one benefit of contextual identities is that they run under a single profile.
