First of all. Props on your journey with Linux and BSD @fionescu

Second, why do web browsers suck so fucking much at doing simple tasks like translation and/or reader mode.

Firefox would not automatically translate, I had to tell it which language from/to (translation in "beta", even though I downloaded all the languages in settings)

Safari was like....Romanian? Nah

Brave auto-translated it but then would not show speedreader option

Meanwhile chrome and edge worked just fine

to my surprise Edge handled this task the best, being able to translate and provide reader mode from the little action icons in search bar

go figure

this is a wormhole I didn't want to go down today but FUCK

First they take all our RAM. Then they take all our RAM.

It’s just a pity there are so few credible alternatives.

«Browser — Chrome installiert ungefragt 4-GByte-Datei für KI:
Die Datei werde von Gemini Nano genutzt und könne nicht einfach so vom Computer entfernt werden, erklärt ein Datenschutz -Spezialist.»

Für mich ein Argument mehr um Chrome nicht zu nutzen. Ich möchte gerne selber bestimmen dürfen was und wie ich es nutze. Doch ich sehe schon, dass dies vielen egal sein wird.
