I'm sure at some point WebKit/Chromium based browser will get a decent Read Mode. But for now, it's still a major advantage of Firefox.

TechSpot: Firefox is switching to a faster release schedule, just like Chrome and Edge. “Google recently announced an accelerated Chrome release schedule. Now, another major player in the browser market, Mozilla, is doing the same. The company plans to drop two updates for its open-source browser every month across both desktop and Android devices.”

As ClickFix and social engineering attacks are ever growing and evolving into new forms while remaining the same at their core, Opera took the security of their users into their own hands and released a feature called "Paste Protect" that is an integral part of their browser to protect users against ClickFix type of attacks.
Firefox and Chrome should take Opera’s approach as an example and implement something similar, since the vast majority of the web browser market belongs to Chrome, followed by Safari and Firefox, which both use their own rendering engine that is not based on Chromium.

The problem is that all browsers have some objectionable baggage they tow along with them.
Some people may find different things more or less objectionable.
Brave is one of the browsers I use. I also still use Firefox (though I now find the Mozilla organization to be quite objectionable).

Ars Technica: New attack provides one more reason why AI browsers are a bad idea. “New research puts this predicament on sharp display. It demonstrates how a website can lull AI browsers into a false reality where the rules governing its behavior no longer apply. After that, an attacker has free rein to invoke all kinds of destructive actions, such as extracting code from a private repository […]

Gemini websites are not compatible with the vast majority of web browsers and are associated with notable specialized applications such as the Geopard application for the GNOME Desktop Environment.

Disappearing scrollbars shit me to tears. Having no indication that a section of a page can be scrolled, I often assume that's all there is – unless I'm expecting more and test if it can be scrolled.Bring back permanently visible scroll bars.

Not sure what this is all about but it came up in my recommendations on Apple Music. And I used to work in marketing at Opera, so curious...
Opera Mini? Using a jewel-clad Opera logo? Opera mini Mozila? Ok.

#TIL about #LeakDetector;
"Record what data a website (and the third parties it loads) leaks about a user during a real, human-driven browsing session and then run pluggable tracker modules over the recording to classify and report on those leaks at three levels: board-ready executive summary, vendor-by-vendor detail, and per-request drill-down."

@johan : je hebt een punt, maar de hele certificaten-industrie is ziek, webbrowsers zuigen en er bestaat veel te veel misleidende informatie (voorbeeld: zie plaatje met AI-bullshit - zie Alt voor info).
Er bestaan ook Europese certificaatuitgevers - wellicht minder voor DV-certificaten. Echter, met het CA/B-forum (de "toezichthouder" op certificaatuitgevers) bijna volledig in handen van US-organisaties zou Trump ook kunnen opdragen dat browsers alle certificaten van uitgevers in "vijandige" landen niet langer vertrouwen.
De supervisor van organisaties die domeinnamen verhuren is ook grotendeels Amerikaans.
Oftewel, autonomie wensen beperkt zich niet tot certificaten uitgegeven door Google en Let's Encrypt. Ons voorbereiden op worst-case scenario's lijkt mij zeer verstandig.
Overigens heb ik eerder een oplossing voorgesteld voor het phishing-probleem dat ik aankaartte, maar dat is kennelijk off-topic (ik sloeg aan op de kul dat certificaten iets met veilige websites te maken zouden hebben, een leugen die mensen al heel lang op het verkeerde been zet).
