somehow, some people can use the net without an adblocker. i have no idea how, but they're out there.

I see it all the time at work: all the boomers rawdogging the web on Edge, like the company IT department intended.

Ublock origin (for chrome) is gone, but ublock lite is available. Idk what the difference is

I feel with open source projects I really don't care where its country of origin is.

Europe is not golden. New european laws are getting more and more authoritarian.

You may end with a browser thar automatically ask you for a id to log all your browsing "for the children!"

At this point it's on web developers, and they sure as hell are prioritizing chromium browsers, likely out of time constraint (and also fuckery at the behest of corporate overlords).

I went to book rooms tonight in Vegas at the Golden Nugget for the solar convention this week.

Firefox couldn't click through to the booking page. It worked for one room but not two. Chromium worked (ish), but also tried to say that it was almost double the rack rate than what the listing showed on Firefox.

I eventually went to kayak and despite glitches, booked the rooms, and still ended up paying more than I should have.

The Internet has become fundamentally broken due to sites trying their stupid fuckery of tracking and pricing shenanigans, let alone just trying to find basic information.

(Sorry I'm drunk and pissed off)

I remember hearing a while ago a little bit about Servo. It seems to have been started by Mozilla, but is now managed by the Linux Foundation Europe.

What's wrong with Librewolf? I'm currently using Firefox and thinking about switching.

Could always try floorp as another half measure

How does Librewolf suck?

And Servo is hosted by the Linux Foundation Europe btw.

My work requires edge 🤮

I think Gopher would be an even more unworkable shit show than HTTP/HTML is it had to deal with the last thirty year of changes.

Now, Teletext on the other hand...

I'd some plans to write my own e-pub reader, since all the existing ones are shite in their own way, but since e-pub files are secretly xhtml and css in disguise, it's actually a hell of a job, much bigger than I'd anticipated.

I don't think making network requests for files nor parsing any of those formats is so difficult, and while the actual layout rules interact in a complicated way they're not insurmountable. However, doing it securely and in a way that runs at an acceptable speed is much harder. Tokenizing JS and interpreting it isn't so bad, but that's not going to run a modern website with tens of thousands of lines of scripts. Displaying video with hardware acceleration? Best bust out some code.

Moving to another protocol will either need the cooperation of everyone everywhere all at once, or since that'll never happen, alternatively convincing all the major browser manufacturers to support both for a while so that other companies can enter the market, which will also never happen. Going to be a tough sell.

They can’t unless your entire system is compromised.

That research paper was a POC using kernel access and the models used were calibrated to specific subjects in a particular setting. Replicating it for anyone anywhere would require much, much more sophisticated models and that the target has given you root.

We out here using the 3Ds web browser 😤😤

~~(It has expired certificates and kinda doesn't work anymore lol)~~
