#links2gang honestly, I have just launched #links2 in its own window for the first time. Hitherto I was always just using it as a console browser that runs scripts for different mime types and has a sensible user interface. #web #webBrowser https://links.twibright.com/download.php/user_en.html

I lost years to not just following those instructions. @prahou @clock
admittedly, I almost always *want* a console based browser.

GrapheneOS says it won't comply with age verification laws & will stay available worldwide

GrapheneOS refuses to comply with regulations requiring age data collection, prioritizing privacy over regional laws. This stance aligns with criticisms of mandatory OS-level age verification and appeals to privacy-focused users.

Mais du coup, vous en pensez quoi de Konqueror pour remplacer firefox ?

#Sunstone browser now has a start page, with default search provided by DuckDuckGo. All of Sunstone's internal pages are going to be linked through the menu bar provided in the default page template. I am no web designer, but I've taken time to make the design responsive and hopefully nice and cleanly functional. Shrink the page down past a certain level and the sidebar becomes a top bar.

There are still some omissions in the "internal" pages that are available. Right now you get the start page, searchable bookmarks and an "all tags" page, which really neads some visual tweaking.

Some other little bits of progress include fixes to the vertical tabs so that now you can drag and drop to reorder from the vertical tab bar, the regular tab bar or the overview and everything syncs up correctly. I also added a "New Tab" button to the vertical tabs, which had been missing in the first iteration.

I mean, if you compare a $1,500 Android phone against the iPhone SE 2020, of course.

Always take with a grain of salt when companies put their benchmarks, especially without the test bed. These are always made to look shiny, but under it, they hide specific "optimal" conditions.

@javi IMO this doesn't mean #Firefox isn't necessary any more.

For most parameters, it's the only free #browser engine left.

So we can still use #LibreWolf (and maybe other forks) that does remove the #enshittification parts, providing a decent browsing experience, protecting our #privacy and #security. 👍

Still better than switching to #Chromium's engine and delivering the WWW to #Google right away.
