  1. @talon I am exactly like you, I hardly finish an article anymore because of this :nocookieface: absolute #icemoonprison for #webdevs supporting such #darkpatterns @adamhsparks

  2. 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. β˜•

  3. Hey, @nextcloud: thank you for increasing the #accessibility on your website by not only making most functionality available to the #JavascriptFree, and for displaying a note that indicates more functionality can be had by activating #Javascript.

    Could you ask your #webdevs to make that note stop blocking up valuable screen space? See screen shot. Android 7.

  4. Unfortunately, the birdsite's #mobile website will also detect that you enforce #pricacy and #security regulations by running #javascriptFree. And it, too, will ask you whether you would like to visit their #legacy web site.

    So you press Yes.

    And nothing seems to happen.

    Why?

    Because #Twitter #webdevs chose to save your preference in a #cookie in your browser. So you have to allow 1st-party cookies.

    #Twitter needs to inform us about that on those redirect pages. #UX #UserExperience
