Interesting info but would it be ok to make the title less click baity by avoiding the needless full caps?

I take it you're not very familiar with the Daily Mail.

Great news!

Wish you well. Do you have a donation link?

Since everyone is sharing their xmas list, here is mind:

- containers builtin and improved

- torrent download built in

- forget site built in

- tab group buit in

- private tab instead of private window, like in portable ff

- restore form built in

- profile switcher built in

A monoculture is fragile and will be prone to abuses.

Don't be turned off by people wanting everything to be perfect, to their taste, and right now.

Those people are very vocal on HN or on the Foss community, but they do not speak for most users anymore than I do.

What you are attempting is very interesting and a lot of work.

Even if it's not tor browser level of private, I'll be glad to give it a try. We desperatly need more diversity in the browser space.

Don't ask a browser vendor to fix websites in 2022. We know that it's rarely a problem with the browser, and mostly devs that decided (or been told) to do a chrome only website.

We did it once with IE, don't fall in that trap again.

It's even worse than that. You could build a site "just for chrome", only test on Chrome and still it should just work with Firefox. The sites blocking Firefox are doing so explicitly, because the site would work otherwise.

Haha, I don't necessarily disagree with you on this..

My only view on this is it would be nice to have a general chrome compatibility switch. I've not accounted for the feasibility of this from a technical or commercial perspective, so I can't advocate for it beyond a nice to have feature.

There used to be “Open this page in IE” browser extensions. It shouldn’t be too difficult to have a similar “Open this page in Chrome/Edge”.

Same story but with propolis.

So, if it gets crawled by an aggressive bot, the image disappears in a day?

One of my current client is a big institution whose decisions affect the life of probably 700+ millions people a year.

A lot of critical processes are just excel sheets that people open and run once in a while, maybe copy / paste or click a button in there, then close.

Some processes are automatized, but there is no way to check if the result is good. Best you can do is to have a human look at the numbers and say "LGTM" with some confident face and call it a day.

Said client handle billions of euros every year for other entities. They basically influence the entire world economy on a daily basis.

Now, get audited from top to bottom, from internal and external teams, and all audits pass eventually. I met mostly good people there that take their job seriously. But still, every time I dive deeper into their rabbit whole, I just can't believe what humanity stands on.

Once upon a time, all of that would have been managed on just pen and paper, calculated by humans instead of machines!

There was one French artist that made a comic with 2 characters once, saying:

- computers are amazing, they can calculate 20 millions operation every second, with only one mistake every 10 million of operations

- 2 mistakes a second, you call that progress?

Today, the fun part is, the human unreliability is now a small part of a big automated chain that have large, numerous and instant results. So if the excel file is not opened, and the calculations updated but the human, the rest of the system will work with stale values. And who knows what it will do to the cascade of events handling the billions of euros?

In fact, my client has a failsafe for that: a designated chain of people that are supposed to take over if one cannot do their task, for each critical task.

In all big platforms, navigation beyond dumb consumption is aweful.
