#uxp — Public Fediverse posts

This is how it's basically being done in the development of #PaleMoon's #UXP platform (browser development is a different story), minus the paid membership. Want something to be done in the platform? Then make a #PullRequest, and they'll most likely merge it!

They really need the code

then implements modern features in Safari/Webkit really slowly

That's good actually, because you #webdevs keep chasing the shiny new features #Chrome / #Chromium / #Blink is pushing to the #web like fucking fireflies, to the detriment of #webcompat with small #browsers like #PaleMoon, #Basilisk, and others based on #UXP / #Goanna / #XUL (like #SeaMonkey).

As someone who used to work actively in Pale Moon's development, I am witness to a website that almost broke its #compatibility with my #browser but was stopped because the new feature it wanted to require was not yet available in an old #Safari / #WebKit version they're still supporting.

So yes, from my point of view, #Apple does more to support the #openweb than #Mozilla and #Firefox (which always follows Chrome whenever it's not controversial) does, even if it didn't intend to. And to be clear, I am not even an Apple fanboy. The only Apple device I own is this ancient 1st generation of the iPad mini. I don't like their ecosystem.

So it's not a bad take. It's the reality we independent desktop browser developers see in #webdev. ☕
