somehow, some people can use the net without an adblocker. i have no idea how, but they're out there.

I see it all the time at work: all the boomers rawdogging the web on Edge, like the company IT department intended.

Ublock origin (for chrome) is gone, but ublock lite is available. Idk what the difference is

They always were. Chrome on mobile has never supported add-ons, and that's been the main driver of browsing for a while now.

Desktop Chrome still has ad-blockers, but they're just less effective now, as they can't phone home for faster updates iirc.

I have an old pixelbook with ublock that still works.

I feel with open source projects I really don't care where its country of origin is.

Europe is not golden. New european laws are getting more and more authoritarian.

You may end with a browser thar automatically ask you for a id to log all your browsing "for the children!"

I remember hearing a while ago a little bit about Servo. It seems to have been started by Mozilla, but is now managed by the Linux Foundation Europe.

At this point it's on web developers, and they sure as hell are prioritizing chromium browsers, likely out of time constraint (and also fuckery at the behest of corporate overlords).

I went to book rooms tonight in Vegas at the Golden Nugget for the solar convention this week.

Firefox couldn't click through to the booking page. It worked for one room but not two. Chromium worked (ish), but also tried to say that it was almost double the rack rate than what the listing showed on Firefox.

I eventually went to kayak and despite glitches, booked the rooms, and still ended up paying more than I should have.

The Internet has become fundamentally broken due to sites trying their stupid fuckery of tracking and pricing shenanigans, let alone just trying to find basic information.

(Sorry I'm drunk and pissed off)

Could always try floorp as another half measure

What's wrong with Librewolf? I'm currently using Firefox and thinking about switching.

How does Librewolf suck?

And Servo is hosted by the Linux Foundation Europe btw.

My work requires edge 🤮

They can’t unless your entire system is compromised.

That research paper was a POC using kernel access and the models used were calibrated to specific subjects in a particular setting. Replicating it for anyone anywhere would require much, much more sophisticated models and that the target has given you root.

elinks

We out here using the 3Ds web browser 😤😤

(It has expired certificates and kinda doesn't work anymore lol)

Yeah, I just use System.Net.Http.HttpClient and a basic html to md converter. Half of websites don't work but I figure if they are too complex for this simple setup, I don't need to see them anyway.
