This morning, I found #shift , a #webbrowser made by a canadian company

It's built on #chromium and made in #canada

But it seems to mostly target #ai and #productivity users

It doesn't support #linux (yet?). I contacted the support about it and they kept the request in case more people ask about linux.

And It doesn't seem to focus on #privacy, #digtalsovereignty and might need to subscribe to a monthly sub.

Is there no browser which has proper HTML support, proper CSS supportv but disables all javascript by default/no javascript at all?

Usecase: need to watch some local files, but since I use firefox and librewolf in flatpak, can't do that unless I run `python -m http.server 5000` and then I don't know how to block javascript for, like, just localhost.

Even then, I just want a javascript bloat-free browser FOR DOCUMENT VIEWING THAT DOESN'T SUCK MY BATTERY LIKE THESE BLOATED AHH BROWSERS DO

It can't be that hard 😭

For anyone looking for a modern #browser that does not force #ai Vivaldi claims to do this.

Coming from the #Vivaldi #webbrowser #cofounder, a pledge of not forcing ai in their web browser on users.

Now that Google is moving to disrupt ad blocking extensions for Chrome, it's never been a better time to try some of the alternatives! Brave is probably my favourite...ad blocking and JavaScript controls are built right into the browser, no extensions required!

Balrog Soft presenta Amidesk: ejecuta AmigaOS 1.3 desde tu navegador.

AmiDesk es un ambicioso proyecto de Pedro «Balrog», conocido desarrollador y demoscener amiguero, además de responsable de Balrog Soft, que busca recrear AmigaOS 1.3 mediante tecnologías web manteniendo compatibilidad a nivel de API con el sistema original.

Desarrollado principalmente en HTML y JavaScript, AmiDesk va mucho más allá de una simple recreación visual de Workbench. Uno de sus aspectos más llamativos es la implementación de una multitarea preventiva simulada sobre JavaScript, un lenguaje tradicionalmente monohilo. Para lograrlo, el sistema utiliza funciones generadoras y llamadas yield que son inyectadas automáticamente en las aplicaciones escritas en JavaScript, permitiendo que el mecanismo resulte transparente para los desarrolladores.

Según explica su autor, la implementación de Exec se encuentra aproximadamente al 95%, mientras que otras librerías del sistema rondan actualmente el 50% de desarrollo. El entorno ya dispone de un Shell funcional, varios comandos en C: y una RAM Disk completamente operativa.

Uno de los avances más destacados es la integración de un emulador Motorola 68000 en desarrollo. Gracias a este trabajo, AmiDesk ya es capaz de ejecutar determinados componentes procedentes de discos originales de Workbench, incluyendo programas BCPL y algunos binarios nativos. Comandos como Echo y Avail funcionan actualmente de forma completa dentro del entorno emulado. Además, es posible montar imágenes ADF de Workbench y ejecutar determinados comandos directamente desde ellas utilizando el Shell de AmiDesk.

La versión web incorpora también una unidad Work respaldada por Google Drive. El sistema crea automáticamente una carpeta específica para almacenar datos y permite importar archivos mediante las herramientas integradas, una solución necesaria debido a las limitaciones de acceso impuestas por la API de Google Drive. La página incluye además varios ejemplos de aplicaciones que pueden importarse y ejecutarse dentro del entorno, junto con soporte para scripts y distintas utilidades que muestran las capacidades actuales del sistema.

AmiDesk se encuentra disponible para pruebas desde cualquier navegador moderno a través de su página oficial. La documentación del proyecto también menciona planes para una futura versión bare metal destinada a Raspberry Pi, aunque esta rama del desarrollo se encuentra todavía en una fase temprana.

Balrog es ampliamente conocido dentro de la escena amiguera por una trayectoria que abarca desde desarrollos clásicos como Amigochi, una mascota virtual para AmigaOS inspirada en el fenómeno Tamagotchi de finales de los noventa, hasta producciones demoscene de gran calidad realizadas junto a Samplemind dentro del grupo Amiga Skool. Por destacar una de las más recientes, The Colour Out Of Space, presentada en la competición Amiga de la Revision Satellite Party 2024 celebrada en Puçol, donde obtuvo la segunda posición.
