I see it more like the browser group wanted it to be a ‘real’ browser and not held down by having to be compliant with the hobby OS. But that’s just my reading from the outside. :)
They mentioned being more open to OSS packages, which probably wouldn’t work on Serenity.
Lol it’s not a link in the markdown so it’s just the Lemmy web UI making assumptions. Also it’s funny that they don’t own that domain.
Didn’t they recently get bought by Canva? Not saying that’s a good or bad thing, but it’s something to keep in mind.
I think migrating is the hardest part. My email history has a lot of important records and notes that I don’t want to lose.
By the way, I recommend checking out this video, which makes a great point that email is inherently insecure, regardless of the provider you choose.
Don’t fret, I think a lot of us are on a long-term journey to de-Google. I’ve actually found that changing browsers is one of the easiest things to do, especially with the ability to import your bookmarks and such. With Firefox Sync, you pretty much have the same functionality as you would with your Google account signed into Chrome.
What engine does it use?
I have no idea. I’d guess not, as it’s not a strong fork like other Chromium-based browsers. Its main selling point is that it’s nearly identical to Chrome, but with a lot of the Google garbage stripped out. I don’t use it as a daily driver, but only when I need something Chromium-based like the use case mentioned by @OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml. It’s very likely to work wherever Chrome does.
They expect most users to not care, and sadly they’re right.
If you still need Chrome, consider Ungoogled Chromium!
I run a “public” instance with basic auth so I can use it from anywhere (phone, work). I’ve made my instance my default search engine everywhere. (I know basic auth is not the most secure but I wouldn’t even really care it other people used my instance; I just don’t want it hammered.)
Like how unique means “one-of-a-kind”, so something is either unique or not. 😉
Like very unique. 😅
YouTube already has ToS on their API and has paid tiers. But a lot (most?) of the third-party apps and tools bypass the API and directly scrape the site.
I’ve been really impressed by Dart as a programming language. I’ll admit I don’t have a breadth of knowledge, but coming from C# I feel right at home, and it has a few extra neat tricks that C# is picking up in return (like empty list syntax and the spread operator).
This is not a very helpful article summary.
Sorry it wasn’t meant to be. I just thought it was funny that they’re taking advantage of VideoLAN’s library (which is presumably open source) rather than their own.
Notice Linus doesn’t use tabs; he just thinks the parser shouldn’t die when it sees them.
+1 for LibreDNS! I don’t see it mentioned enough.
I personally like the demo at https://www.passkeys.io/.
Also note that you can pin the paste button to the suggestions bar by long-pressing it.
Looks like mostly C++.
