Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG in c/[email protected]

A bunch of websites operating as web apps would help explain the bloat. Great idea if somebody is navigating a good chunk of your website. Horrible idea if 99% of your traffic is people being linked to a news article and then leaving afterwards.

My personal favorite is Ctrl+Shift+C which brings up Dev tools in selection mode, so you can click on the picture or whatever and be taken straight to its HTML code.

Oregon Passes 'Right to Repair' Law With Extra Cojones: Oregon’s “right to repair” bill, which now only needs the governor’s signature before it becomes law, has teeth not found in similar legislation in c/[email protected]

“An iPhone contains its owner’s important personal data including financial, health, and location information, and this bill introduces the possibility that Apple would be required to allow unknown, non-secure third-party Face ID or Touch ID modules to unlock that personal information,” Apple said in a statement on March 4.

What BS. Sure, making sure every fingerprint sensor or whatever has a unique signature would allow you to lock a module to a device to prevent tampering and security bypass. But you should be able to just enter a password or recovery code in order to authorize a new part to be used with your device's security, then it'll be the customers responsibility to make sure that the part operates as it should. None of Apple's business.

Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature in c/[email protected]

For me Simple Tab Groups add-on works great, but it might be overkill for others. I can understand wanting something simpler and sleeker.

I use Simple Tab Groups personally. Been working for years. Might be overkill for some though.

There are various add-ons for this on Firefox so it's never bothered me.

No matter where you go, you're gonna run into toxic people. The question is the ratio to decent people, and if there are tools to deal with the toxic ones.

Also worth checking AreWeAntiCheatYet? if you play online games. Some work with Linux, some need elbow grease, others purposefully break it.

There are exploits out there either kept secret by malicious/proprietary parties, or not practical for consumer desires to get a proper rooted experience.

Pretty much the only method to fix it if you're affected that I can think of is to factory reset your phone with a manufacturer provided image, and even then it's not 100% guaranteed if the bootloader is compromised.

It kinda did survive. KaiOS is forked from Firefox OS, though it's more designed for Kinda-Smart feature phones in developing countries.
