I think a lot of people here don't understand the danger of this fully and dismiss it with "Just use Firefox, problem solved".
Unfortunately, once this becomes widely available, that is once Chrome ships it, websites will start to use it.
Maybe Amazon will just not sell to you anymore when you're browsing with Firefox?
Maybe YouTube wont serve any videos if you're using Linux?
Your bank will certainly implement this and only allow Windows 11 with Edge or some shit like that.
Once this is implemented, we will all suffer, even if we're using better alternatives right now.

My brother in Christ, it was 2020 before my bank supported passwords longer than 8 characters. We have 30 or 40 years before we need to worry about the banks.

@nicman24 firefox is not chromium....

But that’s also not private as has been claimed as a reason to go FF. The only reason to use FF is only to not use chrome. Not for all the reasons that chrome is bad.

Tor Browser, LibreWolf, and Arkenfox JS are the most secure and private browsers you can get and they're all based on Firefox. If they're not private enough for you, I don't know what is

Firefox doesn’t use chromium. It uses Gecko, which is an entirely separate codebase.

Gecko, the underlying engine behind Firefox, is an entirely different code base from Chromium

For the millionth time, Stallman was right.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, you send me html, my browser can interpret it any way that I want it to. If I want to ignore all of the image and script tags, I can. I don't need Chrome or even Chromium. As Stallman says, you should know what is running on your system.

We need to go back to html and css. Using an ad blocker and noscript literally breaks webpages. I just want to read the article! You know the content ppl actually come for

I can see legitimate uses for java script, like popping out a menu. But it seriously needs its capabilities restricted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can pop out menus with CSS.

But how is all the bloat going to get to you then? HTML with some images is equally functional and loads in a fraction of the time, because it is actually efficient. Nobody could want that could they?
