Years ago Google set a deadline for dropping support for third party cookies in Chrome. But this commitment has been pushed back multiple times. I simply switched to Safari years back which actually did meet this commitment and it has been great not being tracked. Websites still work normally. Now Google is claiming their Privacy Sandbox project is moving forward and 1% of users will not be tracked to start. Another tracking system will replace it. If you’d rather not be tracked you have other options. #Privacy#WebBrowser https://apple.news/AXx9xpCnyQ-epQzO9nnTi3g
"In this #paper, we introduce new #algorithms for #CSS selector matching, layout solving, and font rendering, which represent key components for a fast layout engine. Evaluation on popular sites shows speedups as high as 80x. We also formulate the layout problem with attribute grammars, enabling us to not only parallelize our algorithm but prove that it computes in O(log) time and without reflow."
Diese Version fügt mehrere neue Datenschutzfunktionen hinzu, verbessert Picture-In-Picture und ermöglicht Ubuntu-Nutzern den Import von Browserdaten aus dem Chromium Snap.
Trying out #NoScript to block the loading of #Javascript on websites. I honestly don't know why I should use it, but it is fun to play with. Really speeds up loading times at least.
Das können andere Browser zwar auch, aber die schicken zum Übersetzen alles, was du anschaust an einen #Cloud Übersetzungs #Dienstleister. Dadurch kann jemand mitlesen, was du interessant findest.
As I wrote before, I've started using Vivaldi on my Mac a few days ago, and I'm absolutely loving it. I've never sang praises of a web browser before, but now I am. Vivaldi is amazing.
Remember #Servo the experimental #web engine “of the future” that #Mozilla was making?
It’s not dead! In fact, it was re-activated as a #LinuxFoundation project and is being actively developed with the goal in mind to “provide an independent, modular, embeddable web rendering engine, allowing developers to deliver content and applications using web standards. ”
Unsurprisingly, the team behind the #Vivaldi browser have confirmed that #Google's new Topics API in #Chrome, which will mine your browser's history for your interests and report that data to sites that request it, will not be enabled in their #browser:
There’s no perfect browser. They have to make money and no one wants to charge/pay for products. So we pay with our privacy.
I’m trying @Vivaldi because they’re a top candidate for browsing privacy.
But I didn’t know how much I’d love this browser. Especially their “workspaces” feature. It’s a productivity masterpiece. They also have a built-in translation widget. Two really meaningful features.
@rail personally, I'd rather block #Chrome but then again I hate #DRM and don't want to weaponize it for #ads but rather inform people that #Google is, in fact, #evil!
Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine (arstechnica.com)
Google accused DOJ of aiming to force people to use “inferior” search products.
