It just feels like we have a dozen Band-Aids wrapped around a problem that used to be solved.

I totally agree.

Minecraft running in the browser with web assembly.

Add direct content with designMode = 'on'

A lightweight browser of automation.

It integrates well with Puppeteer or Playwright.

What whis means is that it is possible to open arbitrary applications on your system through a bookmarklet while sending data extracted and preprocessed from the current page by custom JavaScript to that application with the click of a button.

How to create a new URL scheme (such as org-protocol://)

what is really neat here is that with a .desktop file and a bookmarklet, you can send Web data directly from the browser to any local application!

How do we get to a world where our GUIs are as powerful and extensible as our CLIs? When I click Open in Emacs on my bookmark toolbar, and Emacs opens to the code I had open in my browser, I feel like I get a little glimpse of that world that could be.

So it's similar to user agents, do the same thing without standard. What could go wrong? Well the same as User Agents.

Internet Explorer était en situation de monopole. Google Chrome le devient.

Derrière la grande magie du site internet se déploient des dizaines, des centaines d’outils de l’ombre qui ont en charge de faire transiter l’information à travers le monde. Ce sont les rouages de l’horloge, les lutins du Père Noël, les molécules du nuage : toujours là, mais rarement visibles.

quick recap

• arc boosts can contain arbitrary javascript
• arc boosts are stored in firestore
• the arc browser gets which boosts to use via the creatorID field
• we can arbitrarily chage the creatorID field to any user id

thus, if we were to find a way to easily get someone elses user id, we would have a full attack chain

when someone referrs you to arc, or you referr someone to arc, you automatically get their user id in the user_referrals table, which means you could just ask someone for their arc invite code and they'd likely give it
