tabs themselves ought to be part of the window decoration, not the app

Well, Windows did try that. It sounds cool as an idea, but it also severely limits what the tabs can do, as most programs don’t need tabs that are as advanced as browsers’, and even browsers’ implementations of tabs vary widely.

madis,

Floating?

madis,

Seems like it will fulfill its purpose then - to protect said teenager’s data.

madis,

Sounds like a work profile, so you could probably simulate it already with something like Island. Although I can’t remember if it also has a PIN feature.

madis,

The problem with Language Transfer is its very limited language selection and its format.

Duolingo allows reading, writing, listening and speech (last two can be disabled if unsuitable in your context), and it does not impose daily limits. I’ve yet to find an alternative app that does all 5 of those things.

madis,

Well, supposedly people can use it without paying and without account, though I cannot confirm the last part in the official site.

madis,

Well, if they wouldn’t, then someone else still would. Apple? Amazon? Yahoo?

madis,

What’s the difference between Lite and the original app?

madis,

Well yeah, but that’s it? How does it differ from Bing Rewards or so?

madis,

What exactly is the great advantage of eSIMs if you have a dual SIM phone?!

If the phone supports a normal and eSIM at the same time, they are equivalent. Because in many countries, dual SIM phones are (and will be) harder to get than single SIM ones, so having eSIM at least allows that.

madis, (edited )

Do they all connect to their phone networks at the same time? I doubt that…

madis,

FYI, Fleksy is up to date, free and uses a very similar concept.

madis,

In the idea that you can hit approximately the right key and it would correct to the one you intended.

madis,

Floorp looks nice and customizable, but in terms of updates it doesn’t seem very sustainable yet.

madis,

ChatGPT itself doesn’t know where it got the info from, so it makes up links and names - it’s a language model, not a search engine.

On the other hand, if you manage to find a reputable source and give it relevant metadata, it can format a nice citation for you, saving you time on that instead.

madis,

I don’t think it is “forced”, just the new default (unless explicitly disabled in a view), which is nice to see. Additionally, I didn’t see much relevance to Play Store - it seemed to be a system-level thing.

madis,

I recall there being at least one content blocker that worked by heuristics instead of rulesets. Cannot remember the name, but it was clearly not as effective as conventional ones, because not all ads look the same and usually people want to block the invisible trackers as well.

madis,

Indeed, they don’t have to bring back the XUL. The power users would just appreciate…

  • new extension APIs that interact with the browser UI
  • bring back toolbar customization that was removed for no reason (we can’t even move the extension button at this point…)
  • bring back compact mode and better themes (without requiring CSS and about:config tweaks)
madis,

The security tool will work in the background to detect apps that use suspicious permissions, like the ability to spy on screen content or read SMS messages.

What has “suspicious” got to do with “malicious”?

madis,

I think it will be back this March with the new laws (Digital Markets Act).

madis,

Floorp looks nice in theory but in practice it is very outdated…

madis,

LibreWolf does seem to go a bit too far with the hardening. It’s fine if you’re used to Tor Browser or Mull Browser but as a general recommendation… ehh.

madis,

Librewolf gives you options, and if you don’t want to toggle them on, you’re free to do so.

These do sound like they are enabled by default though, hence the breakage?

I believe the protection that Librewolf provides should be considered bare-minimum in this age.

If websites work with them, sure. But if they don’t, try explaining that to your grandma.

madis,

Opera is still used by 2.86% of the world, while Netscape probably has less than 100 users.

madis,

It shouldn’t be more bureaucratic because then people are not inclined to use anything, including services they need or want. It should simply be clearly worded so that you know what you’re getting and don’t feel tricked by any hidden fees etc.
