Imagine if #Firefox, #Chrome, and their derivatives could render Markdown, AsciiDoc, LaTeX, EPUB, and Gemtext as seamlessly as they handle PDFs. This could revolutionize the way we publish lightweight websites, making it as simple as dropping a text file into a directory.

🍪 Sooo, Google’s sticking with third-party cookies in Chrome, but you don’t have to.
🛡️ If you haven’t already, then today might be the day to make the switch to our browser.
Don’t worry, you can easily bring all your bookmarks, extensions, and browsing history along for the ride.
Btw, what do you think about their plan? We want to read your thoughts! 👇🏻

Given the Firefox stuff that's happening and the announcement of ladybird, I think it's a good idea to mention a browser project that's got no controversy I can see but could use time and money, @servo.
Servo is a browser engine made in Rust, it was made to be an experimental engine by Mozilla but the Linux Foundation is hosting it now. What I especially like is how modular it is, compared to other engines I feel I can make a better browser with it and its components help other projects too!
If you want to see a browser that can be maintained in pieces instead of monolithically it's worth checking out! they need serious CSS/flexbox help to get up to par with other browsers but the webGL and WASM is top notch.

If #Firefox integrates an #LLM, I'm out. That would be the final thing to make me switch, maybe even back to #Google #Chrome, because at that point I won't care anymore. #Mozilla is destroying their company, and it's so sad to see.

I have had a few people ask me what to do when windows 10 reaches EOL next year. They have said that windows wont update to 11 and their machines are still good. After asking them for the use case of the machine I have been recommending #fedora Linux, Linux #Mint or #Chrome os flex. What has surprised me is that some have said “isn’t Linux illegal in Australia?” I’ve not heard this before now. #linux @BrodieOnLinux

The fastest non-Google controlled web rendering engine Servo is trying to compete with only $1.6k funding a month:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Servo-Engine-May-2024Yes, they did have an NLNet grant, but that ran out.
If we want an alternative to Blink/Chrome, we need to fund it. This is a project where even a tiny regular amount could yield oversize returns:

@LilahTovMoon it’s like you had an “Epiphany” that we need a toolbelt for the internet, a “WebKit” of sorts. With that we could take a “Safari” to vanquish Google and be the “Konqueror”.
Seriously though, why does everyone who’s upset with #Chrome act like #Firefox is the only other show in town.

Doughnut Lollipop 【記録係】:blobfoxgooglymlem: (tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com)'s status on Saturday, 01-Jun-2024 02:03:58 JST Doughnut Lollipop 【記録係】:blobfoxgooglymlem:
Most Web-savvy folks know that Chrome’s lineage can be traced back to Safari (WebKit, etc.), and be traced further back to KDE’s Konquerer (KHTML, etc.).
But did you know that Apple was also considering Mozilla’s Gecko engine as the basis back when planning development of Safari? KHTML was chosen because the codebase was significantly cleaner than the XPCOM bloat in Gecko. (That name still strikes fear in me to this day. :blobfoxscared: ) Interestingly, the Gecko codebase has been since cleaned up significantly.
That means that, if things had gone differently, Gecko could’ve ended up as the browser engine that rules the world today. :blobfoxgoogly:

#Chromium (and #Chrome) begins phasing-out Manifest v2.
https://blog.chromium.org/2024/05/manifest-v2-phase-out-begins.html
This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.
Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.
Happy browsing.

On PC it seems only #Chrome and #Firefox offer no frills non bloated #browsers anymore.
Maybe the Duck duck Go browser, but it lacks the things I actually do count as essential (syncing across platforms).
Anyway, all other browsers seem chock full of bloat, cramming the browser full of features I will never use.

#lazyweb question: Do either #firefox or #chrome have a way to display open tabs in a grid as mini windows?
On desktop that is... on mobile all web browsersdo it automatically! As shown in this screenshots of firefox.
FWIW I'm asking because I've been told this interface is very useful for someone with ADHD to keep on top of their tabalanche.

So #Chrome is officially a AI browser now. https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/14/google-is-building-its-gemini-nano-ai-model-into-chrome-on-the-desktop/
Remember what John Herrman said back in January that their "help me write" feature is going to mark the end of the human side of the #internet and a place where most words of the #web are going to be written by bots instead of people. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2024/01/new-ai-powered-google-chrome-browser-end-of-human-internet.html
This is ever closer to a sad reality.

#chrome on #ipad sucks, not only the new tab page is same narrow stuff designed for iphone, theres no way to put bookmarks there, it just puts whatever in quick access, it takes two taps and an animation to launch a bookmark.
and no themes... it's ugly. #google should put more work into this.In conversation from kitty.haus permalink Attachments

If you’re sick of Chrome and Edge, take one of these browsers for a spin.
