An Abridged History of Safari Showstoppers - Webventures
  • Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.

    Firefox's stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech "journalist" take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to "track" users which is blocked.

    Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn't do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.

    Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as "privacy friendly" and see how soon its usage stats drop.

    This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.

    • tap gestures (double tap -> launch app)
    • Use app shortcuts as icons in pins (My apps shortcut instead of play store app)
    • lock desktop mode

    Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.

  • TikTok sues U.S. government, saying potential ban violates First Amendment
  • ya, it just shows the world US has got a lot of gotchas law that's polar opposite of everything it markets itself as.

    Freedom <> Patriot Act War Crimes <> Hague Invasion Act Free Market <> LOL Get Sanctioned Peace <> Funds Apartheid Freeze Peach <> Criticise Israel <> Get Fucked

    So basically anything goes when it feels a little miffed like a toddler.

  • PixelExperience has been depricated
  • Apart from replicating the pixel experience on devices not sold by Google, it was a ROM that enabled people to upload unlimited images/video in any resolution to google photos cloud storage (as it could disguise itself as OG Google Pixel).

    I don't know if it worked well and how google didn't stop it, but it was one of the highlight of this project.
