Firefox can’t load HTML pages? Huh?
The mindset about privacy is just all wrong. It’s not an all or nothing game. Any privacy gain is a net positive to no privacy at all.
To many people conflate privacy with anonymity or try “accomplish” privacy without understanding what they want to be private from and why.
Exactly. Now to click the “copy text” button and keep your fine words handy for my next convo with a friend who thinks life with Facebook and Google is grand.
Hey you have nothing to hide? Please give me: Your address, bank account info, card numbers, social security, and the information of your family and friends. All passwords. Hand over your wallet too. Give me photos of your fingerprints, genitals, and a 360 view of your head. Why does it matter what I could do with such info? You have nothing to hide, right?
Ultimately, arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

There’s worse.
They already know everything about me anyways. If I can exchange my data for some free and easy to use service, I’m more than happy to give.
I hate defeatism.
Its not even defeatism, its willingly sacrificing themselves to the machine in hopes it will be merciful!
True.
And they’ll follow that up with a somewhat snarky comment that “You’ll be eliminated by the machines first.”
but it was trash at loading html websites
as opposed to websites written in excel 2003 format or what
Bro’s from the timeline where Flash became the dominant species.
It was full of ActiveX controls and Silverlight.
shudders
there are many more type of websites, other than html
Can you give an example?
PHP: Facebook, Dream Market, Silk Road(darkweb)
Ruby on Rails: Github, Airbnb
Django: Bitbucket
These technologies can compile into websites in themselves, but they are usually used as backend
Except that all of those produce HTML. They are all HTML websites.
PHP stands for “PHP Hypertext Preprocessor” because it is a Preprocessor of HTML (HyperText Markup Language).
If we are talking about browser performance, none of those technologies that you mentioned execute on the browser at all and are therefore irrelevant to Firefox’s performance compared to another browser.
From a browser’s perspective, every website is HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
my guess is its just another flavour of cope.
imo likely because recent history has began to undermine the delusions which were propping up the former flavour.
Get off Reddit. Karma grind is not worth it.
Agree, I am primarily on lemmy now. People here are way nicer to each other than Reddit

If one has the right kind of opinions. 🤷
depends on the instance, if you’re nice it’s really hard to get banned on .world or blahaj.zone, on grad or ml tho you gotta be authoritarian
Never say privacy. Always say libre software. That’s why.
chromium is still ‘libre’ though, so I don’t think that’s enough
You don’t have a better two word attack.

(Obviously you don’t need to start where I’m at but everyone’s goal should be to eventually become as secure as reasonably possible)
I just want RISC-V and open drivers on everything.
Same, I wish all technology was shared and open :3
