In what sense is Edge Chrome?
zagrebian··on The IE 11 user-agent forced Mozilla to freeze part of its user-agent string
This would break so many websites, which would have negative consequences for many people.

Well, Chrome and Edge.
zagrebian··on Save web pages as PDF in Firefox for Android
Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean “Make it work with HTML and CSS today”. I meant, Why couldn’t HTML and CSS be used as a basis for a PDF-like format? New features are constantly being added to HTML and CSS. In 5 to 10 years, maybe we’ll have a revamped powerful paged layout that will have all the features that you mentioned.

So my point is, why create a new format when you can enhance HTML and CSS?

Why not HTML + CSS?

I wish there was a good web-based alternative to PDF.

Feedbro is by far the best feed reader.
zagrebian··on Browser extension that lets you follow accounts on foreign Mastodon instances
I use Mastodon via pinafore.social, which lets me do that. The search feature can find users across instances, which is pretty useful.

His bio says Protocol Labs.
zagrebian··on A self-updating list of the most current useragents
When it says Windows 10, it could also be Windows 11.
zagrebian··on Twitter has banned Mastodon links in name and bio for being “malware”
Well, I’m glad that I added it to my bio when it was still possible. I hope it doesn’t get removed.

zagrebian··on How to rebuild social media on top of RSS
I only care about the "notification" part of RSS :)
zagrebian··on The silent struggles of workers with ADHD
> Some people, says Winter, only tend to do what they’re interested in – “what lights up our brains” – which causes them to de-prioritise other urgent tasks.

I’m definitely guilty of this.

zagrebian··on Introducing passkeys in Chrome
I hope Firefox gets this soon.
zagrebian··on Brave launches private search ads
Modern? When I grew up in the ’90s, ads were everywhere: in the magazines I was reading, on TV, on billboards, in the mail. How can you call ads a modern virus?
zagrebian··on Using a date-modified header to detect unique visitors without using cookies
> Many privacy-focused analytics services will generate and store a UID on the server instead of saving it in a cookie - based on a hash of your User Agent, IP, Location, Date etc.

What location? The Geolocation API?

What date? How can a date contribute to a UID? Each visitor sends multiple HTTP requests at different dates.

If Rimac makes a car with that name, it’s probably going to be Bura because that’s how we write it in Croatia.
zagrebian··on Rimac Nevera Hits 412kph to Become World’s Fastest Production Electric Car
Not just any storm. It’s a storm on the Croatian coast that comes suddenly and doesn’t last long. When pronouncing the word, the emphasis is on the second syllable: neh-VEH-rah

> It's also not viable for implementing saves in your game.

Client-side storage is part of the web platform. Any website can store data locally.

zagrebian··on The simplest way to convert your web game into a desktop app
The simplest way is to add a web app manifest with "display": "standalone", and then ask the user to install the website from the browser.

Thanks. I always forget that reader mode exists in browsers.
