This is Chromium monopoly. At this time instead of W3C standards, Chromium itself becomes the standard.

There is also a developing project Ladybird (with homebrew libweb), although it is far from production-ready.

YT does a lot of sneaky sneaky stuff. My Firefox constantly lagged on YT pages until one day I installed UserAgent-Switcher and pretended I was a Chrome. The lag went away.

And no it doesn’t work now.

That’s some procrastination going on. Sometimes you should force yourself to start doing something for a minute or so and things will eventually change.

You mean the built-in browser with shitty nonconsistent API? Yeah it’s used widely. Some crazy dudes even put earthquake forecast on it.

I installed local-network-wide DNS adblockers. After the change my mother found me and asked me why she couldn’t see the ads: she needed the ads and were enjoying them.

It still depends. I live in China and the internet here suckass. Every product, say taobao(Amazon), xianyu(eBay), Alipay(PayPal), WeChat(instant msg), banking, etc. that is crucial to your daily usage mandatories an application. The API is closed and the webapp has no functionality other than a banner with "go fuck our mobile app". The only way to bypass these privacy beast apps is to live in an isolated wood cabinet with self-sufficient agriculture.

I mainly use AI for learning new things. It’s amazing at trivial tasks.
