  • I am trying Floorp as of yesterday. I like Zen Browser, but their github contributers list makes it look like it’s mostly the effort of one person and that always gives me pause until somethings been around a while. Floorp seemed more spread out so I decided to try it despite its silly name.

    I’m interested in how ladybird shapes up.

    Worth noting that you may have DRM issues on some forks with video content. I don’t think you will on Linux, and someone clear this if you can, but I think the alternate used can’t do 4k video? I’m not a big web media consumer so idk. Has something to do with Widevine I think.






  • Barbarian Alien Romulus Juror #2

    Ordered by most favored. Juror #2 is the only one that fell a little flat for me. It felt a bit too much like a script playing out. Like the writers were in the room.

    The other two were great. Barbarian has to be seen. Alien Romulus was a nice and I want to see a sequel. I binged all the other Alien movies about a month ago to get to it. The prior four, being all different shades of bad, made this a really nice breath of fresh air. It wasn’t perfect but it also held hope.













  • The new Declarative Net Request API is still a downgrade in capability compared to the older API, but the feature gap has closed significantly. If a certain website finds a workaround for ads that Manifest V3 extensions can’t block, then you probably should just switch browsers or stop going to that site. I would like to see the rules limit continue to increase, though.

    Isn’t that most of the web?

    I enjoyed the article. I don’t think it’s coincidence that Google is going after adblockers at the same time as this is happening, despite suggested improvements that will come along with Manifest V3.

    It could make things more secure from malicious extensions but in my experience people who install extensions tend to be a bit more savvy and people who aren’t savvy tend to not use extensions. That’s just my experience though.

    I do think people should get paid for efforts so we can keep nice things that could be getting served to us by a small team. Websites I frequent for gaming info for example. But I only found those places by searching and sifting through sites with poor morals and I need a way to browse safely for that.
