Take into account all the requests needed to load a website, and the fact that:
if it takes more than 2 seconds, about 50% of your visits will leave
3 seconds or more, and most people will start thinking it's down
Google tries to keep theirs under 500ms
Loading some content in 100ms, then loading more in the background, is a reasonable compromise. You may want a very quick response time for the first few requests, then put the rest on a possibility slower server, or running at a lower priority.
I had the "Page Refresh" one... disabled, but still installed. There are multiple "[Auto] [Easy] Page/Tab Refresh/Reload" extensions in the store, hard to pick one that won't go rogue.
a device that can capture photos and videos, support some large language model or another, and be used to interact with the world without having to pull a phone out of their pocket.
Bodycam + Echo/Nest + projector, sounds interesting... too bad they had to make it so expensive, and locked down.
Wonder if there are some cheap secondhand ones out there.
They say that they've removed the ability for you to save locally, but I can't see how that's possible
It's quite simple really: think of it as a "demo". You can be offline, start it, mess around, copy&paste stuff... close it and lose all your changes... or go online and save the file to OneDrive.
It is "not cloud" only in the sense that a cloud solution sends the code to run the app to your browser, which most likely will save it to local cache, then read it from there unless there is an update online.
Meanwhile, if you browse to draw.io, you can have your browser download the app to its cache, optionally "install locally" then go offline, open the app, load and save from local, go online, load and save from cloud... is that a "cloud" solution, or a "local" solution? What is a PWA?
IndexedDB et al, can be cleared from the devtools, I think should be cleaned when removing browsing data, or can be deleted directly through the OS. "Cookie AutoDelete" should still work with V3, but it may need some updates, and it seem like it hasn't been updated since 2022.
Interesting. Sounds like it saw you watch "TLDR" content, and binned you with the "I want simple answers, here and now" cohort, a prime target for manipulation videos. Probably could have pushed you in any direction you seemed inclined to follow.
No, neither does. V2 browsers show a generic warning on first install, V3 removes the API. Google argues that it's a security issue... and yes, it is. Their solution though, is some kneejerk BS. Mozilla argues that it's a user's right to privacy to block ads and trackers... and yes, I agree. They don't address the security part, though! So it's an "all or nothing" choice, which is silly.
Ad blockers can still work on V3... not as thoroughly and not as pretty, but more secure. It's a nonsense trade-off, when both issues could be addressed by giving users more control.
It looks like neither Google nor Mozilla want to put in the work or take on the responsibility, while ad blocker developers are simply cheering for the less secure option... which makes me uneasy.
It keeps amazing me how these Manifest V2 vs. V3 discussions, fail to address the elephant in the room: intercept and modify network requests.
Do you want your web browser — that you may be using to access your banking account, or your shopping account, or an internet, or any sort of private content you want to keep secure — to allow every extension you install, forever and ever, to "intercept and modify network requests"... even if it initially didn't, but then over time the developer, or whoever the developer might sell it to (see AdBlock and uBlock), might decide to "intercept and modify network requests", for any reason they want, without any warning?
What is so wrong with the browser ASKING THE USER before denying/granting that permission to random extensions?
And how about having the browser let the user decide whether an extension is allowed to do that, on a per-website basis? I know, you can tell uBlock Origin to ignore a website... and "trust me, bro"? How about the browser enforced that instead?
It's been somewhat of a theme in countries that endured USSR influence, to run a "commie scare" and fall straight into the arms of a neo-lib alt-right.
The advice I got against bullies while growing up was... to "grow a pair" and bully them back. Only got stabbed two or three times, so that kind of worked, I guess. Pre-internet times were more civilized, or something.
Just putting on the jacket, could be seen the same way as a party costume, or a movie prop.
Wearing it with the express intent of instilling fear in people, could be seen as terrorism.
Wearing it to a mall and shouting "ICE is here!" so people run in fear, would be instant impersonation and terrorism.
If that's the US... keep in mind that the distance between the US and Russia is... 53 miles. Excluding Alaska, the distance between Chukotka and Washington, is under 1100 miles.
Which part? Putin is a former KGB agent, former FSB director, and has openly stated that he wants to rebuild the USSR.
