Permission-based systems are bad. See #XUL getting replaced by #WebExtensions for example. It didn't stop #malware from getting into the #browser or the extension store. On the contrary, the malware problem only got worse after the complete replacement of XUL extensions, which is often disparaged as "insecure" because it allowed users to pretty much change how their browser fundamentally works.
Who knew that distrusting your users and not giving them control leads to more malicious software and user #security being broken more often. :seija_coffee:
I've wondered and maybe someone can tell me, instead of #adblock built into #browser programs why not have an ad-drainer? When you block the ad you tip off the source that you are blocking, but instead just read the ad stream and discard it instead of displaying it. The source will not know. Seems easy so am I missing something?

The EU declares Apple's iPadOS as a 'gatekeeper' due to its vast app ecosystem, locking in businesses like yours or users like you.
The European Union's designation of Apple's iPadOS as a "gatekeeper" signals a significant win for small businesses and startup owners in fostering a fair digital marketplace.
This move further underscores the EU's commitment to regulating tech giants such as Apple and gives smaller businesses the opportunity to thrive and innovate.
Apple must now comply with the DMA within 6 months. Our CEO, @jon, welcomes this, noting that iPads and iPhones share the same ecosystem and that Apple controls both as the gatekeeper.
In light of the EU's DMA and Apple's implementation of their Browser Choice screens, our CEO and Co-Founder, Jon von Tetzchner @jon, talks to @WIRED.
"It starts from you clicking Safari. Which, I think all of us agree, that's the wrong spot." Jon said he prefers Google's implementation of its new browser choice screen that guides Android users to select a default while setting up their phone.
I have been building browsers for 30 years now. First Opera and now Vivaldi. My estimate is that more than 1 billion have used one of my browsers or both. Have you?
