Der Haken ist die "Render Engine", der Teil, der #HTML/#CSS zur Anzeige bringt. Dazu kommt noch #JavaScript.

#Presto war eine europäische Engine (im originalen #Opera).

#Gecko steckt in #Firefox und geht historisch auf #Netscape zurück.

Und dann gab es #KHTML (aus dem #KDE-Projekt, wenn ich das richtig erinnere). Davon wurde #WebKit abgeleitet (was heute von #Apple genutzt wird). Davon wiederum wurde #Blink abgeleitet (von #Google).

Und das war's auch schon mit den aktuell verbreiteten "Render Engines". Je nach Zählung also nur zwei bis drei. Extremst übersichtlich. Und trotz "Open Source" eben in der Hand von wenigen... noch dazu US-Entitäten.

Damit stehen und fallen alle Browser mit der Entwicklung der "Render Engine", auf der sie basieren...

I figured out how to get #LibreWolf working with mobile-config-firefox on #Librem5 running #Mobian #Trixie.

Since the recent change in #Mozilla terms of service, I was trying to use non mozilla browsers and succeeded mostly. On my #Debian sid laptop I mainly use gnome web (which uses #webkit).
But on #FLX1 I still have to use #Firefox. #FreeSoftware

Deatails about the hurdles I faced and how to install it on your mobian trixie here

I feel bad for the Zen Browser developers. Choosing Gecko, which was one of the reasons that put them on the map (aside from their awesome UX/UI), is going to be their downfall when Gecko either stops its development or becomes unusable. But they seem like a very talented team, I'm pretty sure they could "port" Zen Browser to Blink or WebKit

There’s an option on both iOS and macOS for these settings to "Share Across Devices”, but maybe that only works when there’s an equivalent setting on both, which there isn’t for auto-play behaviour?

(or if it’s supposed to share the auto-play behaviour across devices anyway, then that isn’t working for me)

It’s really surprising to me that #Safari doesn’t seem to have any way to stop videos from auto-playing on iOS like it does on macOS, or am I missing something obvious?

On macOS you can go to Safari > Settings > Websites > Auto-Play and set a specific website to Never Auto-Play, but there seems to be no equivalent option on iOS.

There are per-website settings in Safari on iOS for Camera, Microphone, Location, Reader, etc, but not for Auto-Play?

Dear browser makers, please fix LCH. The promise of LCH was that the L could be trusted: no matter what the hue is, the lightness would always be the same perceived lightness. In your current implementations this is completely broken. It’s even worse than HSL
