One of the proposals was to not touch the e2e, but rather scan whatever you upload before it gets encrypted. You should be able to opt out, but in that case be unable to upload any files.

A counter argument to this specific proposal was that it would exclude people from social interactions.

Does your site actually need protection from cloudflare? Have you been attacked?

Doesn’t matter if you turn it off, think about it. Who are you texting? Will they have turned it off?

Can’t you just tell your current dhcp to use the pihole as dns? That’s how I set it up.

To be fair, the binary that gets installed might be altered. I believe Microsoft does this with vscode, they were open about it.

They don’t feel like they’re under attack. They’re moving in the opposite direction than the defence.

I really enjoyed it

I have my music library that I listen to, to which I add songs by getting them from youtube (it’s good enough for my cheap on the go earphones). Sometimes I tune into radio stations that offer nonstop music (like stubru tijdloze).

89% with firefox for android with ublock origin and decentraleyes.

TempleOS and ReactOS 🤪

I can see my bank using this technology and I’ve refused to install banking apps on my phone, so that would have me in a tough spot.

Perhaps I could rephrase that to “could opt to unimplement”. These people are smart enough to check and verify the changes in the browsers that they ship.

These alternative browsers are essentially also forks of chromium. They pull in changes from upstream. I’m not well versed in browser engine development or how these teams keep their engines up to date, but I’m sure there’s a person or team responsible for checking and pulling the changes. They could decide to not pull that in, if that code is properly boxed and not all over the place, but still the commits to that feature will show what and where. They still have that choice to stray from upstream, but it might be hard to maintain in the long run if the code is all over the place.

It sounds that it actually is safer, that people for example can expect there are no malicious mitm things spying on their browsing or changing/injecting things that are malicious (like these scams lately where they ask to take over your computer and change numbers via dev tools because people don’t know what the fuck they’re looking at), but at the same time it would make things very cookie cutter. Ads everywhere, no way of changing things with client-side scripts, no looking at source code because why would you can’t change it anyway, no alternative frontends for popular websites with horrendous tracking, etc.

Of course, that is for the websites that take advantage of this technology. I can’t predict how many websites would implement this, but I hope deep down there are still websites that would not go this route and remain free to visit and browse. That will be my world wide web. I know where the web came from, taking a step back to a smaller sub-web of sorts doesn’t really scare me, it might even bring back some of that forgotten glory of what the web once was. Smaller, less content, but with heart.

Well, then what does apple use it for? Since there’s already an implementation out there we should have a pretty good idea of what the future holds with widespread adoption?

A fork like Vivaldi, Brave or Opera could opt not to implement these changes, but then some websites could become incompatible to them.

If people really can’t live without Chrome/brave/…, install an extension to change the use agent to firefox and support the cause that way 😄

I feel that as more people are getting caught up in technology, less people are actually interested in how things work or how problems can be fixed. Their mentality is that it should just work.

I’m not really expecting millions of visitors to “inferno’s corner of the web” though.

Images and video should be less of a problem as time progresses. Like I said, bandwidth is increasing, storage is already fairly cheap. This isn’t about hosting the next YouTube or imgur, either.

We used to cross Europe with just a small piece of paper attached to the dash with the names of the cities we’d roughly cross and it worked.

I would happily find/join a corner of the web that’s more reminiscent of the older world wide web, where shit like this doesn’t fly. Just people sharing knowledge and discussions and self made pages on random topics. Completely free from corporate influence. I get that servers aren’t free, but with the speed of domestic internet and the power of current hardware I don’t think it’s impossible to set it up cheaply and not have to rely on ads to keep running.

I disable smooth scrolling so my eyes don’t have to follow and wait for it to be done scrolling. The scroll height is ingrained so now, on new machines, when it’s on it annoys me to no end.

Firefox on mobile does in fact have pull to reload.

I used to use uMatrix, but stopped using it because it was discontinued. It might still work, but it stopped getting updated because the dev wanted to focus on uBlock.

For god’s sake, stop recommending the brave browser…

What supposedly makes Chrome so convenient? That other browsers don’t offer. It’s a browser… does it render pages more conveniently? :D

Perhaps xboxdrv could help?
