Previously, to work on my code server, I always installed Visual Studio Code locally and then accessed the server using the Remote SSH extension. But that no longer seems necessary now that I have code-server installed. Using code-server, Visual Studio Code can be easily used in the browser. Cool project! ⌘ Read more
Lots of downsides, too, but overall I still find it the most comfortable environment for anything that doesn’t need a web browser. :-)
Is it me, or Gmail’s web interface is going down the drain? Using Safari—my default browser—often takes two, or three clicks to open an email. If it weren’t because its search is amazing, I would never visit its web interface.

Every Web Browser Absolutely Sucks.
The title explains it all, you don’t even have to read.
There are no good, even passable web browsers. None. Not a single one even comes close.
The weird thing is this: making a good browser should be easy! Among the existing web browsers, you could assemble all the parts necessary for a passable (if not perfect) browser. No one has ever bothered to do this, instead, people assembled 90% good stuff and 10% junk.
Here I will list:

I was receiving strange requests to mine spartan server, so i fixed that. Someone wanted to hack me (they thought it is webserver), someone tryed to send request from some browser on mac :)

Uninstalled Brave browser and went back to only using Firefox.
You can still download videos by passing extracted browser cookies from an account. I’ll bet you’ll need cookies for any video soon.

Good developers know how things work. Great developers know why things work. - Steve Souders, High Performance Browser Networking Forewords Observing my cellphone switch towers
Please stop recommending JavaScript programs to me. They’re bad enough in a browser, let alone as a piece of dedicated software.
I like and use the Brave Browser.It’s a free and open source browser with features like:
- Ad-blocking by default.
- Tracker-blocking by default.
- Anti-fingerprinting mechanisms to prevent you from being monitored.
- Built-in Tor windows.
- Run by a based Christian and not furry leftists.
As far as I’m concerned, Brave is indisputably the best general-purpose browser out there.There are other okay brows … ⌘ Read more
I stopped browsers from automatically requesting a favicon on https://mckinley.cc/ thanks to this blog post: https://k1ss.org/blog/20191004a
I turned on access logging for https://mckinley.cc/, so if you want to go there using weird browser/hardware combinations, now is the time.
Search engines are not browsers, browsers are not search engines.
trying to get myself to reach for !links browser instead of firefox for locally testing my wiki. For the most part, it really doesn’t need the heft of firefox. When links -g is used, it really really doesn’t need firefox.
Are you able to coax your webserver to add the charset to the content type header? Browsers are having a hard time thinking you are sending latin-1
content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
@prologic@twtxt.net for encryption. we can have browser/app generate ec25519 keypair. store the private on device and add pub to list of devices for the user on pod.
Beaker browser looks interesting, here my hyperdrive: hyper://26f815e33ec9edbee76bb43faa06ffa283714c1e0245aa2e65538df6059cd05d/

all files !monolith written using !worgle have now been automatically HTMLized via !weewiki. the top-level browser can be found [[/proj/monolith/program][here]].
Even if I gave priority to Lynx and mobile I am happy with how it looks on desktop browsers too
somehow get !weewiki pages rendered in !btprnt. maybe build a btprnt backend for links browser? #halfbakedideas
links web browser is surprisingly good, especially when you can get it in graphics mode: !links_browser

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Doing everything in the browser is indeed terrible. But I have to admit that e.g. jitsi-meet for a/v conferences is pretty neat. You just share the link and password and everybody can join without installing and configuring a new software.

you find a website that’s clearly from a few years in the future, but it’s a knitting blog and hardly ever talks about world news, and the comment captcha uses browser features that don’t exist yet
All I need to do to get this to work in all major browsers is to wait for Safari to get a major version bump…
@kas@enotty.dk @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I doubt many want to browser-sniff. Unfortunately, I see browser sniffing used to work around a particular browser’s bugs, so browser sniffing isn’t going away anytime soon.
@sdk@codevoid.de also, if you can find out how to get your desktop environment to tell your browser “I prefer dark mode”, that’s also an option
@kas@enotty.dk [re: gopher client] If you happen to be on Windows, then Gopher Browser for Windows by Matt Owen is pretty nice, otherwise I use Lynx indeed for gopher.
