I see it more like the browser group wanted it to be a ‘real’ browser and not held down by having to be compliant with the hobby OS. But that’s just my reading from the outside. :)

They mentioned being more open to OSS packages, which probably wouldn’t work on Serenity.

Lol it’s not a link in the markdown so it’s just the Lemmy web UI making assumptions. Also it’s funny that they don’t own that domain.

What engine does it use?

I have no idea. I’d guess not, as it’s not a strong fork like other Chromium-based browsers. Its main selling point is that it’s nearly identical to Chrome, but with a lot of the Google garbage stripped out. I don’t use it as a daily driver, but only when I need something Chromium-based like the use case mentioned by @OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml. It’s very likely to work wherever Chrome does.

They expect most users to not care, and sadly they’re right.

If you still need Chrome, consider Ungoogled Chromium!

YouTube already has ToS on their API and has paid tiers. But a lot (most?) of the third-party apps and tools bypass the API and directly scrape the site.

This is not a very helpful article summary.

Sorry it wasn’t meant to be. I just thought it was funny that they’re taking advantage of VideoLAN’s library (which is presumably open source) rather than their own.

I personally like the demo at https://www.passkeys.io/.

What does Proton have to to with this?

If your subdomains being public is a security issue then I’d argue something else is wrong. Otherwise you’re using security through obscurity.

But I appreciate the insight and I see how this was a harder sell back when it happened. Thanks!

Hmm I hate Google as much as the next guy and am actively trying to de-Google myself, but I’m not sure I can get behind the outrage here. Certificates are free and easy to obtain with LetsEncrypt, so there’s really no excuse for sites not to accept unencrypted traffic these days. I’m sure Google does lots of things to delist the small guys and promote their big payers, but I don’t think this is one of them.

What SSL thing?

The ENG US is only shown if the user has multiple languages. As for the icons to the left of that, the user has manually chosen to always show them instead of having them in the overflow area. So it is a bit cleaner by default.

I believe the one you linked is the fork. Here is the original.

I recommend the fork you linked because the original author supposedly was slow and reluctant to add new sites and now copies fixes from the fork.

I actually thought the paywalled article was the meme at first.

Also shoutout Bypass Paywalls Clean (D). It’s practically up there with uBlock Origin as required to browse today’s internet.

Agreed. I would’ve changed it except I had in the back of my mind that the post title needed to match the article title, but now I don’t see that in the rules. Oh well. But yeah the article is not really about Chrome at all.

It would apply to files and folders in Dolphin (file explorer) as well.

Just be aware of the Plaid issue!

Thank you!! I’m trying it out now and it’s definitely very promising. I love the swipe on backspace to select and delete. I do wish it had long press on backspace to delete a single word. That plus lowering the long press time makes it so easy to make corrections.
