“Enabling JavaScript allows us to better protect our services and users from bots and evolving forms of abuse and spam,” the spokesperson told TechCrunch, “and to provide the most relevant and up-to-date information.”


In other words it is for better tracking and surveillance ... 🙁

Kann man bei #Friendica eigentlich keine #Videos in #Beiträge einfügen?

In den #Apps kommt eine Fehlermeldung beim Hochladen.

Im #Browser werden mir Videos zumindest am Smartphone gar nicht zur Auswahl angezeigt 🤷

#BraveBrowser is installing VPNs without users' consent, even if you didn't willingly enable their #VPN service. Just stop using #Brave, it's garbage.

Edit: the services are disabled by default, but they were still installed with very little to no transparency about them towards the user, alongside all the other stuff that's often unwanted from Brave users (Pocket on Firefox is to blame too, lol.)

A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team; handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :

Is this a broken #soapbox installation @alex@gleasonator.com or a bug? #Rebased is showing 404 error in #browser console when visiting empty #trends status page while other blank pages do not. For new installs, here's the page with error: https://www.example.com/api/v1/trends/statuses


Gibt es noch (komfortable) freie Browser


Mir scheint es als ob Chromium und die Firefox Engine die Internetwelt völlig unter sich aufgeteilt haben. Gibt es noch freie, aktuelle, unter Linux laufende Browser, bei denen man weder auf Komfort noch auf wesentliche Funktionen verzichten muss?

Curl und Lynx kenne ich gut, erfüllen meine Anforderungen in Bezug auf Komfort halt nur bedingt ;)

Don't use the #Brave #browser, especially if you're #privacy -conscious.

1. Shitty crypto scam embedded into it (BAT)
2. Whitelists privacy breaking scripts (https://brave.com/script-blocking-exceptions-update/)
3. Embedded "Brave Today" in new tabs which can't really be completely disabled and makes a shit ton of requests, including tracking ones
