An experiment to build a web browser based on Servo.

EDIT 2024-12-30: it has tabs now https://social.tchncs.de/@Blort/113740179696427117

Only set one language to reduce entropy and thus tracking.
I will argue that every small feature is a way to track users. We should avoid to diminish features for privacy. Privacy should be built-in or enforced.

Ladybird uses a brand new engine based on web standards, without borrowing any code from other browsers. It started as a humble HTML viewer for the SerenityOS hobby project, but since then it's grown into a full cross-platform browser project supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems.

C'est dommage qu'il refuse d'utiliser "they" à la place de "he", car les contributrices sont tout aussi importante.

Insert a code snippet in one line as a bookmark:

javascript: (() => {
// Code here
})();

For example:

• Find a "Jobs", "Careers" or "Hiring" link in the page, and click it.
• Find all email addresses on the current page, and display them in an alert.

These are not limited with permissions, so we should only execute code we checked.

#idea #project a collection of bookmarklet

Simply run these scripts on the web page to trigger some actions.

• Validate HTML
• Calculate carbon
• WAVE
• PageSpeed
• SSL Report
• Security Headers

The authors seems to use valid arguments. I don't know someone who uses Opera anymore.

Because no browsers satisfy the author. The interesting part is why.

An app can exchange messages with native applications using an API that is similar to the other message passing APIs.

Press CTRL or CMD + click or press the link. You then have the choice: open it in the same tab or in a new tab.

The big issue here is, Desktop browsers are irrelevant. Same for people that may read this is on Mastodon.

The vast majority of browser activity is coming from young people (12-25), which use their mobile device for browsing. And, believe it or not, these folks click way more content in a minute than I do.

Still, it would be nice to have 100% FF users on my blog, at least if they are using Linux. But even there it is 50/50.

More and more of the traffic comes from mobiles and the young are the majority of this browsing activity. It is different for companies though!

A simple StartPage built for custom needs

Trusted types are interesting indeed. They won't fit all cases though: what happens if I want to insert HTML? These are cases though, and the majority could use these.

I am also anxious about this situation

The browser uses the bfcache technique to handle back and forth in history.

Il semble qu'utiliser un seul onglet soit optimal. Ces différences restent petites.

uMatrix bloque les requêtes des autres noms de domaines par défaut. C'est à l'utilisateur de les autoriser manuellement. Cela évite des requêtes non-souhaités vers des scripts, iframes et publicités ciblées.

I disagree with most of its arguments, but in the same time I agree that browsers are so big complex systems.

A browser engine to render. It was started by the Mozilla foundation and it is now open-source and free to use 👍‍
