DolphinMathGoogle Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024
Admiral PatrickGoogle’s sales pitch for Manifest V3 is that, by limiting extensions, the browser can be lighter on resources, and Google can protect your privacy from extension developers.
Emphases mine. Funny, I use extensions to protect my privacy from Google.
DJDarrenThe second being Safari, right?
Right?
…right…
As a web developer, Safari needs to either die in a fire or be transferred to a company that actually cares. It’s more than half a decade behind everybody else.
Tell me about it. Every time I implement some new thing in my app:
Firefox/Chrome: You cast HTML5 video. Critical hit!
Safari: Your spell fizzles…
… Safari added support for HTMl5 video in 2009.
Chrome did not even exist yet in 2009.
Not looking to start a flame war here, but if that’s the case, then Apple’s had even longer to get it right. lol. I implemented my video containers using the MDN specs which worked for both FF and Chrom(e/ium) as-is. Had to read through Apple-specific specs to figure out why Safari wouldn’t render them (not autoplay but render at all).
Ah - that’s got nothing to do with supported features.
Your video wasn’t working because the default settings (which a user can change) block most video… because safari assumes (correctly) that most video on the web is an ad.
Chrome released in 2008,but did not support HTML5 video until 2010. But yes, Safari did it first (in 2008). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video
