63.3K commits from 1K+ contributors and still pre-alpha, it's amazing what a nightmare web browsers have become!

Dillo sobs lonely.

literally never heard of it.

Independent but then their coms are purely proprietary, US-based sludge. If you think folks should be contributing to your project, you should be using technology where you can where you & your contributors can patch & make better too. There is no good reason to be limited to only Microsoft Github & Discord.
Don’t get it wrong: I have followed for years & want the project to succeed, but this reliance on corporations & not giving your users a private option where they can control their data needs to stop. Normies have ignorance excuse but software makers do not as they generally know better about how these tech firms operate.

Is this browser private? Does it implement proper sandboxing and have any methods of anti-fingerprinting? I hope it eventually see the implementation of a robust content blocker. What makes this related to privacy and not instead just open source. While it is nice to see an independent web engine, if there is no method of anti-fingerprinting, the privacy of this browser is severely limited.
-
oh yeah also js isn't very usable yet so that improves privacy
-
To be fair, it is quite possible to fingerprint you pretty well without any JS at all, both inside and outside of html/css.
And disabling javascript is certainly something that not many people do, so already that makes you stand out even more.
-
Btw, how much of HTML features do they support yet? I found nothing googling.
Because, it's not that you support HTML 4 or 5 but how much of it. I think QtWebkit is still ahead of Blink and Gecko there, but less performant.
-
Lol, but also JS being volatile in the current browser makes it easier to fingerprint.
-
-
What makes this related to privacy and not instead just open source.
because it's not affected by google's anti-privacy decisions?
-
That doesn't make it private. Privacy on the modern web requires anti-fingerprinting, otherwise any website with tracking scripts can easily start creating a shadow profile for you.
Edit:
What I mean is it isn't a browser anyone who cares about their privacy should use (yet or every depending on development). Not close to ready yet. OP didnt put any context either for why they posted it.

-
Ambitious.
-
At least might help compete with Firefox to improve Foss browsers.
-
That could be great! Alternative to firefox!

It's the one with a dev that thinks that replacing "he" by "they" is political propaganda?
Yeah, no thanks.
Can you provide some context?
Edit: I found the context. Here and here.
maybe I'm not seeing where the smoking gun is, here. I see a guy saying something akin to "can we not do this here in the github please"
and then I see a bunch of people blowing up and yelling about "dehumanization" over it.
...why is this such a huge deal exactly?
This Mastodon post discusses it and has links to the PRs: https://ruby.social/@denis/112718132053579597
This one for SerenityOS shows Kling's response to a very minor and neutral change.
Maybe I’m dumb, but I completely do not understand what the dev did to upset people.
I read the thread and I’m confused about it.
Thanks for the heads up. Not worth the time
Chill. Read the cited sources. It's someone asking the community to not use the github forum for discussing the completely irrelevant topic. It's not a fucking open forum it's for developers to use as a resource. I don't care if the person was giving out a $1,000,000 to anyone that commented, find an appropriate place to post your comments. I saw nothing against the topic itself but a bunch of angry responses. I mean if you read and are like na fuck that dude than 100% that's your take but that's the thing, its YOUR take. I hate seeing people so quick to draw the fuck this or fuck that card from absolutely zero rhetoric than what an anonymous internet comment said.
for someone who can speak a language that lacks gendered pronouns, this "hysteria" over he/she/they is ridiculous!
As someone who speaks a language with gendered pronouns but no neutral option, this is very awkward to deal with.
Well on the contrary you should understand it more. A gendered pronoun carries an idea of gender, and having a genderless pronoun frees the sentence of this gender assumption. Nothing very hard to understand.
That's enough brigading for today
What the fuck have to do one thing with another. You people are so fucked up . You make drama from anything imaginable
Kling is the one "making drama"
Do you think there are no assholes working for google or mozilla? Assholes are everywhere. And fuck cancel culture.
Edit: I stand by what I said, you can downvote me all you want. It doesn’t matter to me one bit.
Cancel culture, this far-right myth that fascists love so much. You forgot to continue and talk about freedom of speech and how you are a centrist.

people can have different views. you might not like them but it's their views, not yours
And it's my view that we are free to dunk on people with bad views.
Yes, they can. And I can also view their views with disdain... or even horror and choose not to support their efforts, whatever they may be.
What you are really saying here is that you to some degree don't disagree with Kling and so it's this particular view you find acceptable to let pass. If it were something like "people should be fine eating small children" you might react differently.
Did the OP say they couldn't have different views? You must have replied to the wrong comment.
He is right, hey shouldn't push a political agenda. They can fork it if they don't like it. It is his choice and he is the one putting in the work, not you.
Refusing the change is pushing a political agenda too. But I guess it helps seeing which agenda you prefer ;)
