I’m so excited about the “private space” feature

I heard from people who have tried both Void and Alpine, that Void is much more easier to use as a desktop OS while Alpine is more suited as a server OS…

I guess I’ll just add them to my mental list of companies to avoid.

😆 mental ?! I already have my list in my browser bookmarks

like WWE wrestling ?!

good comments are upvoted for a reason and I wanna see those first… before scrolling to the bad takes… haha

One of the best cases for building a versatile tool, is accessibility to less privileged populations, for example people who can’t efford to have a reliable Internet because of their shady ISPs, they need a browser that renders web content as fast as possible, and also because they can’t afford to download apps due to slow internet speeds, Flatpaks could take gigabyte of HDD space and you have to update them later, which is painful in other parts of the world

Even if the user had a reliable Internet and solid hardware, maybe they’re a security minded individual, and want to keep their app installs to a minimum. To them many apps are considered bloat and that’s dangerous.

I think the difficulty lies in wisely choosing what features to include, before your users start asking : hey, do we really need that ? Or : who uses that ?

that’s why listening to feedback is so important

that’s interesting, I’m not sure I understand the idea, do you want the browser to monitor the mobile app time usage ( Jerboa ), I’m i correct ?

That would also look cool, aesthetically speaking

firstly, there’s always some security and plenty of privacy mischief around focus.

Oh, how so?

i’ve actually played with this in the firefox debugger and it essentially appears feasible so really hope this feature comes oneday - or i finally get some time to look into making an addon for it

that’s cool, yes a browser should stop using resources when you stop using it ( minimize it ), or using that particular tab by making it inactive, chromium based browsers behave like that if I’m not mistaken

that’s a quite pessimistic stance, yes I do agree that web browsers are complexe and hard to maintain, but they can do more than viewing websites, you can play games, draw art, video chat, PDF viewing and editing, you can do a lot with just one app… that’s the beauty of Web browsers… The problem is in the Ad business model…

saying: “no” sounds rude… maybe something like “no, go touch grass” that’d be better
