“Would you like to use the browser by Company X, or the browser by the company that survives on half-a-billion dollars a year from Company X, or the browser by the company that gets paid an estimated $20 billion a year by Company X even though it can survive without it?”
We desperately need a web browser by an independent organisation funded by EU taxpayer money and maintained for the common good.
Sepsal jsem důvody, proč si myslím, že by měl Firefox dostal zase šanci. Ať už od těch, kteří ho v minulosti opustili, nebo od těch, kteří ho nikdy ani nezkusili.
For few months now, I use an #iPad for personal stuff, instead of a #laptop.
Downloading files from the net is a bit a pain in the ass, but otherwise, I’m satisfied. I design with #figma via Figurative, and do #geek stuff on my #nas thanks the #LaTerminal app (cc @Migueldeicaza).
I’ll give @penpot a try because the browser engine is #safari, on my pro computer with #firefox it doesn’t work at all.
But on the Magic Keyboard, there is no ESC key, WHY ??? That’s incredible to me and missing. 🤔
protonpass is available for a few weeks now and i really enjoy using it on my mobile devices and on firefox. there is no "official" app for mac and desktop safari yet (proton claims that they have to heavily rewrite the extension to make it work with safari) so i installed the ipad version on my m1 mini and it works - in a way....
Hey infosec nerds: A couple years ago I went all-in on the Apple ecosystem, and I’ve been content with Safari as my default browser since then. Everybody is pushing Firefox as the best alternative to Chrome’s growing enshittification, but is Safari an adequate choice if you’re already elbow-deep in Mac?
Have gotten suitable replacements for my core extensions over in #Firefox land. Can't even remember when I last used this thing fulltime, must be at least a decade if not one and a half. See ya #Chrome.
If #Mozilla goes under in the next couple years, whoops, my bad. I still don't see how they are sustainable, exactly. I ain't paying them for this 😩 at least #Safari would be funded by my #Apple hardware profit-margin dollars…
Which is the best browser for #productivity? #Privacy? Customization?
This comparison will help solve this mystery 💪
#Speed, #usability, and #security are important factors to consider when comparing web browsers. However, choosing the best #webbrowser requires taking more factors into consideration.
Really hate to do this, but #Edge once again made my new tab page open in "content visible" mode with all the junk news displayed. I will be moving off it as my default browser. Really wish #Safari still worked on Windows, because now I have to resort to #Chrome since it works everywhere I do.
And to the Edge team: please, for customers' sake, do not mess with someone's settings. You lost all my open tabs on iOS once and now this. I will miss vertical tabs :-(
If someone's added a web app to their iOS home screen, does anyone know a way to send that person a link which opens in that installed web app, rather than in a browser tab?
Well, I decided to go back to Safari 16.6 after trying out Safari 17 Beta for a little while. The Beta seems to be extremely memory hungry while having some interesting and sluggish rendering hiccups, including entering in newlines in multi-line text fields.
I suppose I'll have to wait until it is GA or upgrade to macOS Sonoma once it's GA and stable.
With macOS Sonoma, Apple goes all-in on the concept of installable web apps. They're highly integrated in the overall macOS experience and don't give away their web roots by not showing any Safari UI at all.
#lazyweb: for #FireFox or #Safari users (leaning former despite being enmeshed in Apple; it's more configurable, has a wider/deeper extension ecosystem) - what are your faves for the following?
Forcing sites into dark mode (eg "Hacker Vision" in Chrome)
Tab groups (like Chrome's native)
JS/image/etc blocking (like the now defunct ScriptSafe) - uMatrix?
I'm generally not a big fan of #Apple (understatement of the century), but I've read about the next version of #Safari officially supporting #JpegXL and I'm really glad that this is happening. I'm looking forward to the associated changes to #WebKit making it into the engine as it is used by other #FLOSS browsers too —and hopefully this will finally push @Mozilla into enabling #jxl in mainline #Firefox OOTB.

User visits my website with iPhone using Safari. Sees some specific page. I somehow capture this fact on the device and associate a token with this (so far anonymous user).
User installs my app.
User opens the app that they just installed.
The freshly installed app would like to read the token that was set in step 1 (on the same device).
the state of #Apple#Safari browser is just embarrassing, I have tried living with it again and there are so many sites that don't properly work with it. All of them fine on firefox and chrome btw, so no, it is not the website....
#Safari is the true successor to internet explorer...
FYI: ProtonPass on Mac/Safari (Apple Silicon) German
