• unmigrated accounts on legacy browser—such as #Safari
• pro liaison on a browser approved by your organization
• consuming, online streaming, on the all-purpose browser: #Firefox (then Settings > Privacy)
• social media on a speedy browser—such as #unGoogled (but you must update)
• online banking, health, sysadmin & sensitive stuff on a hardened browser—such as #LibreWolf or #Mullvad's browser

"As a result of the DMA the tech giant allows to install other browsers as defaults. Apple ensured that these browsers can no longer use WebKit because it would make them faster than Safari. To this end, the tech giant blocked the WebKit API in iOS 17.4."

@eric Let's #poll:

I propose an assessment of the situation before #Safari drops (deadline 6 March).
Which #browsers do you use across all your devices?

Mozilla argues that browser choice only in the EU will make it more difficult for vendors to juggle different versions. “Apple’s proposals fail to give consumers viable choices by making it as painful as possible for others to provide competitive alternatives to Safari. This is another example of Apple creating barriers to prevent true browser #competition on #iOS.”

Here are comments on the evolution of browser share in a year.
(The three samples are heavily skewed to English-speaking higher eds.)

You may still answer in the previous toot.

3/4 Fediverse members use #Firefox proper. Same as last year.
We welcome other parts of the Firefox family (any browser with Gecko inside):
• The share of Librewolf mentions doubled since last year.
• The share of other Gecko-based forks mentions also doubled since last year. (Even though some Waterfox usage is not logged because i did not list it.)

The shares of Chrome and Vivaldi were stable for the first thousand answerers (maybe more IT inclined) but doubled with the later thousand (in the last 24 hours).

The share of the last line (Opera-Blink-Brave mentions) decreased since last year.
