Does anyone know if it is possible to file a Chromium browser bug without a google account? And I would also like to know where I can file a Safari bug?
Zadziwia mnie jak bardzo różni się podejście #Google i #Mozilla w kwestii wtyczek do przeglądarek. Podczas tworzenia rozszerzenia do #Chrome okazało się, że wiele internetowych poradników i porad jest nieaktualnych, ponieważ Google jakiś czas temu przestało obsługiwać #ManifestV2 (czyli taki plik tłumaczące przeglądarce jakie uprawnienia potrzebuje rozszerzenie, jak się nazywa itd.) w silniku #Chromium i należy tworzyć rozszerzenia już formacie w #ManifestV3.
Zupełnie inaczej sytuacja wygląda w przypadku #MozillaFirefox – jak tylko załadowałem wtyczkę do sklepu, pojawił się komunikat, że moja wtyczka jest oparta o Manifest V3, a zalecane jest korzystanie z Manifest V2, ponieważ starsze wersje #Firefox nie obsługują V3, gdyż jest to stosunkowo nowość
Microsoft’s browser held 95% market share, but failed to protect against viruses and spyware. The internet was becoming more centralized and less safe, stifling innovation.
So a movement began: Spread Firefox. People rallied around open-source software that fixed the problems, building and marketing it together.
Today there is another movement to break from centralized social. But it hasn’t had a name - until now.
And that is always a fight to keep vigilant on, that a corporate solution takes over.
But Firefox made it so the only thing that could win would be something based on Open Source - #Chromium - and based on open standards. Even Internet Explorer, now Edge, is that. Firefox made that the only option and it might not have gone that way.
So the lesson there is after you won the battle, keep fighting the war as the war on the new landscape. Vigilance.
I suppose this is one of the reasons why not many sites use HTML <datalist> element. This affects some Android browsers where the datalist overlaps on top of the keyboard (and sometimes just stuck there).
On latest Chrome Android, it shows a horizontal list above the keyboard, same like iOS Mobile Safari.
Big shout out to #DivestOS team for creating the attached comparison tables! Seems like #bromite and #brave are most all-round secure & private mobile browsers.
Thorium’s JXL patch is now BSD. This more permissive license will allow basically any Chromium-based browser to implement JPEG-XL support, as the hard work has been done for them.
I hear a lot of people complaining about the prevalence of Electron. I get it, but at the same time, what's the alternative, especially for Linux?
Few companies are going to develop a desktop application for Linux. They want write once, run everywhere. So what are the options? .NET? Java? Please no. Qt? Licensing nightmare.
If not electron what you're probably going to get is a Windows only binary. I too would prefer a native binary but it's usually not realistic.
