![]() ![]() Not to mention that with JS, none of it can be modified and put under your control, on your end. Even with all the privacy addons avaiable installed it is still very easy to gather a unique fingerprint and track your data, no matter what you do. ![]() it's virtually impossible to go on the internet and expect your right to privacy to be respected. It's even creeping its way into the Linux desktop! What's wrong with this? Simply put, converting JS to C and then C to assembly is definitely a performance drag - there's a reason GNOME is known as the heaviest Linux desktop around. JavaScript frameworks are everywhere now and are making a good amount of the internet basically inaccessible without the latest hardware. Either run Google's spyware or lose out on a ton of services.Īnd what is the result of this? The Internet has become a pretty bad place. See the control here? As seen in this article, open source browsers are kicked to the curb. As a result, browser developers have to pay to be able to stream Netflix. Unfortunately, the only programs for it are proprietary. It's a form of DRM that many notable streaming sites use, most notably Netflix. ![]() This can be seen in EME - Encrypted Media Extensions. As a result, the Internet is basically Google's property. Firefox would likely not dare to implement anything else anyways. Google thus commands the complete design of the web - whatever Chromium implements is what the user sees, and nothing more. Firefox has become more and more like Chromium in its features over the years and alongside Mozilla's history and Firefox's waning popularity (good riddance imo), it is basically a monopoly. However, as we know, Mozilla is just controlled opposition at best. ![]() Mozilla is the only other competitor, with Firefox running Gecko for HTML/CSS & SpiderMonkey for JS. Google controls an extremely large amount of the market with Chromium, which uses the Blink HTML rendering engine and the V8 JavaScript engine. (more on JS problems soon)Įven worse, browsers are basically a duopoly. As a result, it tends to be slower and much harder to work with. It is not meant to literally replace the OS. Why so? Because simply put, Javascript is not meant to do everything. Unsurprisingly, however, its generally less productive. The browser is basically becoming its own OS, which can be seen in ChromeOS devices - it quite literally is the whole OS. Whlie internet connectivity and function is nice, reliance is not. These days it's almost impossible to go without running intensive web apps. Originally the Web was nothing more than a few documents but that time has changed quite heavily. Most computing these days tends to be done on the internet, within the browser. You don't ned to find fault in every browser that you don't use.BROWSERS: WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE? WHICH BROWSER IS THE BEST? ( UPDATE: PUSHING SOME UPDATES HERE) THE TABLE AT THE BOTTOM IS DEPRECATED. But then again, I'm a web developer, so my usage doesn't reflect that of a regular web "consumer". This gives me great mix of control over the configuration of each browser that best meets the needs of the apps that I access. In my workflow, I use Safari, Chrome and Firefox side-by-side for different web applications. Each browser has strengths over the others. I don't believe in a single-browser-for-all. Frequently, it freezes up while doing *something*. While Safari does remain my primary browser, I do find the current public version (v 10.0.1) to be painful to use at times. I think a different team at Apple builds and maintains Safari, separate from the WebKit project. WebKit and the public version of Safari are two separate entities. Chrome is now powered by a fork of WebKit called Blink, but some parts of the codebase are still based on WebKit. Safari has the same powerful set of developer tools, along with a better UI for Responsive Design, imo. Don't forget that Chrome was spawned from Safari (actually WebKit). ![]()
