Why can't built-in browser (like in Google Chrome and Firefox) password managers can't handle exact URLs? There is nothing worse than password manager that tries to fill your password in wrong fields.

Keepass HTTP connector which I've been using also can do it, but browser extensions for that has gone unmaintained. I'm planning to write my own, but it's one of those chore tasks I'd rather not.

I noticed recently that an old blog site of mine stopped loading its styles.css and so displayed see as a horrible mess. Nothing has changed on the site, just the browser.

The reason?

Today's browsers (ie anything based) are becoming authoritarian about what they will display. This isn't a security issue, but an increasing stringency on something that makes no sense at all.

The solution?

Remove <!DOCTYPE> and pretend you're an old website, so they need to display as it was. 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

@happyborg what? Why are they doing that? The modern web is dumb.

A partire da oggi le estensioni di Chrome non saranno più le stesse. Manifest V3 inizia a fare sul serio

I permessi per le estensioni del browser passano definitivamente nelle mani di #ManifestV3. Per ora solo per gli utenti beta di #Chrome, ma nei prossimi mesi raggiungeranno tutti gli utenti

@edinbruh @informapirata @eticadigitale ciao la prima frase per Vivaldi è: "usa lo stesso motore di Google Chrome", se pensi però che ci possano essere altre frasi che possano lasciar intendere quanto dici dimmi pure quali cosi provo a vedere e a eventualmente riformulare il modo in cui sono scritte! Grazie intanto per i commenti, sono sempre benvenuti

Chrome begins limiting ad blockers

In case you’ve been asleep at the wheel – and if you’re still using Chrome, you most likely are – Manifest V3 will heavily limit what content blockers can do, making them less effective at things like blocking ads.

Time to switch!

➡️ Google Chrome has started to limit ad blocking with Manifest V3.

➡️ Firefox and others still support uBlock Origin and uMatrix.

What's your favorite ⁉️

@Tutanota Unfortunately Firefox uses too much battery in comparison to Chrome (use case: student Google account) on Android

Einen Beitrag zum Thema Browser zu veröffentlichen, ist mindestens genauso anstrengend wie zum Thema Messenger. Inhaltlich setzt man sich kaum mit den Aussagen und Erklärungen auseinander, sondern Stammtischparolen ersetzen dann eine ernsthafte Diskussion. Auf diesem Niveau möchte ich wirklich nicht diskutieren.

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:

#Apple #Safari #Google #Chrome #Mozilla #Firefox #Web #webdev

thatbrickster,

@tk With the deprecation and removal of XUL, XPCOM will soon be consigned to the past. Gecko shed some weight in Nightly recently, which usually has larger binaries due to experimental code, and I hope it continues to shrink. I find it as fast as Chromium these days, if not faster, on sites like SPW.

#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.

@GrapheneOS, is there any literature out there about how this will affect the Vanadium browser?

GrapheneOS,
@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social avatar

@ku It doesn't have any impact on Vanadium. It uses the built-in filtering engine and doesn't support extensions. We plan to upgrade the built-in filtering engine to support what we want to provide, similar to Brave. Any other features will also be implemented ourselves rather than by having people run third party code with access to their data. Extensions don't follow the standard site isolation model so they're always a downgrade in that regard for privacy and security.

Is it only me thinking this is a terrible idea?

How does the autofill work? How do I prevent a malicious website to automatically grab my home address and send this data to their servers?

Oho, za chwilę przywrócą tę funkcję do Firefoksa, bo oni kopiują Chrome w głupi sposób, więc i skopiują rzecz, którą wcześniej już mieli i usunęli, bo chcieli skopiować sztywność menu z Chrome... xD

Tak to dawniej wyglądało w Firefox.

Czy siatka, czy lista, to mniejsza, ważne że była ta konfiguracja, i dostosowując się do większego Chrome, zablokowali możliwość konfiguracji menu głównego.

OBY przywrócili konfigurację menu głównego w Firefox, nawet jeśli to tylko durny sposób kopiowania z Chrome.

Great news from @JanGrulich today. PipeWire camera patches are merged in Chromium and should be part of Chromium 127 (unless testing turns up something). This means both major browsers should have @pipewirep camera support soon. https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3308882
