Random tech update: I switched to #Vivaldi (vivaldi.com) as my main #browser at least 6 months ago, and really haven't looked back. It's fast like chrome without the google bullshit and doesn't eat memory like firefox (sorry FF, I'm sure you'll come back around). I downloaded it for the RSS aggregator, & am staying for the performance/general usage.

Es wurde #LibreWolf. Mobil #Vanadium auf #GrapheneOS.

Ist auch vermutlich eine gute Wahl aus #privacy & #security-Perspektive.

Allerdings gibt's bei LibreWolf das Problem, dass fast alle Zeitangaben nur noch in #UTC dargestellt werden. Besonders lästig bei Chats, Version Control Systems, Kalender, ... im Browser. Könnte man auch disablen aber offenbar nur als größeres Paket von an sich sinnvollen Anti-Tracking-Maßnahmen.

Diverse Workarounds haben bei mir bislang nicht funktioniert.

Meine Lösung aktuell: für diese Seiten, wo mir Zeitangaben wichtig sind, habe ich #Firefox (mit diversen Privacy-add-ons).

Das Wichtigste ist ohnehin in jedem #Browser #NoScript.

I have been trying to make the point that when we give up our privacy, we give up our security for a long time. This is an article and short video from 2017. I could have made the same statements today.

I think many more are seeing the same. I know most of you here do.

Since the #browser people at Apple seem to push simple new browser APIs (sometimes JS-less), there is one thing I wish was possible without a SPA:

Seamless audio playback while navigating a site for MPAs.
I am thinking of podcast players, music platforms where the playback should not stop, when I move to another page (without using a popout).

It would be very cool, if we had an easy to use #standard for this.

How the heck do I figure out what is causing this error all over the place and breaking things in Firefox?

#Browser error:
Referrer Policy: Ignoring the less restricted referrer policy “no-referrer-when-downgrade” for the cross-site request: https:// <blah>

After ditching browser after browser due to privacy, AI, or whatever nonsense, I find myself using Konqueror.

It's kind of a breath of fresh air. Google is hostile towards it and I miss having a Bitwarden plugin but I think I'll survive.
