Speedometer performance has improved; it's almost as fast as Chrome was last year! Chrome is still 13% faster.

JetStream performance is still miserable though; 50% slower than Chrome.

Worst of all Firefox doesn't support PWAs, so I'll be using Brave until it does.

Do what? Have a sens of humor?

We have those in the US; it's called Old Country Buffet https://youtu.be/net7t1HjQxY?si=W4lZ0ru3QYbFs7SO

The examples are practically invisible in dark mode. The author should use rasterized screenshots with white backgrounds, or a media query with a brighter color.

OA mentions bringing E2EE to web clients

What about WebPush on Firefox? That uses Mozilla's servers right? At least on Android? Could the govt be doing the same to Mozilla?

Web Developers shouldn't need to "support" particular browsers at all, that's what standards are for. Nobody should be "supporting" any non-standard functionality at all.

I'd pay $100 just to get my family to install Signal

Probably the same platform with different bodies. Might end up being vaporware, but I'm voting for the design language.

No thanks, I'm reserving an Alpha Wolf https://www.alphamotorinc.com/vehiclereservation

Perhaps a fork is in order!?

What solution is there here? No one would suggest that letting every site set up a long-lived network connection would be a good idea. So you need a central trustworthy connection. If you don't trust the company that makes your browser/OS then why are you using it?

No one uses them because they don't work

> you should be able to just schedule a web notification locally. But you can't, you can only subscribe to a server.

This isn't entirely true; WebPush is server only, but the Notification API can be used locally. You could schedule a timeout that causes a notification, as long as the page stays open, and to do it while the page is closed you could use a ServiceWorker. Potentially a ServiceWorker may or may not stay active depending on the user's battery settings, but native notifications too can also be disabled by the user.

Until the path changes...

I've owned a few EufyCams and a couple doorbell cams. They work pretty well; the motion sensing is a little too sensitive for an urban area, but they'd be perfect for suburban/rural areas. They can detect people, cars, and animals. The newest base station can be upgraded with a SATA HDD/SSD.

There was a security kerfuffle last year because motion notifications sent to your phone contained video previews which were then stored insecurely. They fixed that, and it's a feature you can disable. It's not nearly as bad as what has happened to Nest/Wyze cams where attackers can gain access to live video and even talk through the speakers.

Just don't turn on mobile notification previews.

this is just shadowDOM with extra steps

What if I don't respect the person giving the advice, and I don't care about the product?

If native apps had ideas worth stealing the web would have by now.

I agree, no notes.

> prices are largely based on supply and demand

Then we'd better unionize before AI starts doing all the easy stuff

You'd rather we bomb them instead?

Props for building a PWA, but why do I have to copy paste a url into it when the Share Target API would allow me to send the URL directly to you app using the browser's share feature?

Take fish oil.

I think the publishing media that predate the web all had the same problem; posters get torn down, newspapers burn, even stone carvings weather. Hardly a new, or possibly even unnecessary phenomenon.

I suppose you felt the same way about IE?

Looks like something built by a markov chain of reddit memes to me.

My doorbell camera isn't even a Ring, but the local teens still make a point to flip it off every time they see it come on. Makes me want to put up a sign that says "not a snitch!"

Twitter lets you search for tweets near any location. It's not an exact location because nobody really wants strangers on the internet to know their exact location.
