ZDNet: I tried Opera’s new vertical tabs – and it might be the best implementation yet. “I’ve been using Opera, on and off, for over a decade. The browser has several features that have become absolute musts for me, such as Workspaces, split screen, and a brilliant theming engine. But the one feature that has been missing all this time is vertical tabs.”

MakeUseOf: Brave’s new Containers feature finally gave me a reason to leave Chrome for good. “One way I avoided mixing up accounts was by keeping three Chrome windows open: one for work, one for personal matters, and one for everything else. This was a slow and messy setup, and occasionally, I caught myself sending an email from the wrong inbox. Container extensions helped, but Brave recently […]

TechSpot: Firefox’s New Tab page is getting a daily crossword built from AI-summarized news. “Mozilla is adding new widgets to Firefox’s New Tab page, including an AI-powered crossword puzzle tied to current news. The feature is powered by Particle, an AI news reader that summarizes articles and uses that material to build a daily puzzle based on the day’s headlines.”

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.

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 […]

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.

The Register: Firefox 152 understands ‘Sssh!’. “Firefox 152 is now available for download, after no fewer than four minor point releases to its predecessor, last month’s Firefox 151. And quieting noisy tabs has never been easier.”

#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."
