#introduction

My name is Elizabeth but please call me Lisa.

I'm probably best known as the person who started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple. You may think you know my deadname but... you don't.

I've drawn underground comics, pioneered using a Mac for newspaper graphics and developed software at Adobe and Netscape.

Now I write video #transcoding scripts and sometimes podcast.

Follow me and I'll fill your timeline with boosts.

State of the Web, circa 2023:

“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.

Nazrál čas dát Firefoxu druhou šanci

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 for personal stuff, instead of a .

Downloading files from the net is a bit a pain in the ass, but otherwise, I’m satisfied. I design with via Figurative, and do stuff on my thanks the app (cc @Migueldeicaza).

I’ll give @penpot a try because the browser engine is , on my pro computer with it doesn’t work at all.

But on the Magic Keyboard, there is no ESC key, WHY ??? That’s incredible to me and missing. 🤔

FYI: ProtonPass on Mac/Safari (Apple Silicon) German

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?

Sur #iOS, le navigateur #chrome de #google va maintenant permettre d'avoir la barre d'adresses en bas de l'écran, comme...#safari depuis 2 ans.

Cette disposition améliore #UX en facilitant l'utilisation à une seule main, il est ainsi très facile d'accéder à cette barre avec le pouce.

Mais #apple n'a pas été le précurseur de cette fonctionnalité, puisque le navigateur #sailfishos, basé sur @firefox, permettait déjà cela en...2014.

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.

We’ve tested Vivaldi, Google #Chrome, #Firefox, #Safari, #Opera, and #Edge to help you find the best browser for your needs 👇

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 :-(

iOS 17 added a new Safari setting for private browsing.

Change it here:

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?

Hey, Safari, why is there no “Copy Link” option in #Safari Share Menu dropdown? #Apple #webkit

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.

Playing with "Add to Dock" in macOS Sonoma and Safari, turns a web site into a standalone app with a dock icon.

In a nutshell:

  • Go to a website
  • Select "Add to Dock..." from the File menu (see pic).

Safari will create a new application, put the menu in the dock.

If you've got Sonoma installed, take a minute to experience this. Pretty cool. 😎

📢 Web Apps on macOS Sonoma 14 Beta:

https://blog.tomayac.com/2023/06/07/web-apps-on-macos-sonoma-14-beta/

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?
  • Custom per-site CSS overrides (eg Stylus)
  • vim bindings - Vimium port exists; Tridactyl?

Bug? Feature?

On your Mac, in Safari:

  • Open a new Private browsing window
  • Open at least one more tab in that window.
  • Quit Safari. Relaunch.
  • You'll be prompted to Touch ID to reopen that Private window.

So far, so good.

  • Type ⌘W (the close tab/window shortcut)

The entire window closes, including all the tabs. All those tabs are treated as a monolithic object. A different behavior than a normal Safari window.

Thoughts?

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.

I need to do something like this.

  1. 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).
  2. User installs my app.
  3. User opens the app that they just installed.
  4. The freshly installed app would like to read the token that was set in step 1 (on the same device).

Is there a clean way to do this on iOS?

VoiceOver / Safari / macOS bug(s) confirmation requested.

Visit https://cdpn.io/aardrian/debug/VoQbLm

Navigate the first table using VO table navigation commands.

Using Safari 17.5 / macOS 14.5, VO returns the count of all rows, even hidden rows. It also lets me navigate hidden rows.

VO with Chrome has no issue.

Attached video (no captions other than speech viewer) shows this in action.

Navigating a table in VO / Safari, where it announces every row in the table, even the hidden ones.

Using this CSS with broken image ref:

::before {  
 content: url(foo) / "Panda";  
}  

Safari / macOS / iPadOS does not show the alt.

Until you turn on VO. Or turn it off. But it goes away if you refresh.

More accurately, it resizes the placeholder; if your alt is small enough to fit then it shows.

Attached video shows it in action.

So. What the deal is?

Test page: https://codepen.io/aardrian/pen/mdgQNrm

#accessibility #a11y #Safari

A series of broken images that, when VoiceOver is activated, resize and show the alt text from the CSS declaration. Reloading the page makes them go away. Turning off VO makes them come back.

the state of 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....

is the true successor to internet explorer...
