Pretty simple. Google sets the standard, Microsoft and Mozilla play patsy and implement whatever they ask. That's pretty much how the internet works in 2021.
Don't worry about sounding harsh! The whole point is to find people that understand the problem and want to help get to a solution. I'd rather you speak directly than worry about sounding harsh.
There is a prototype! Click the link under "Proof of Concept". You can also watch the IndieGogo video for a description.
It's not much, but explains 90% of the idea. The rest will be just about nailing the UX.
The big variable is whether there is a community out there ready to get excited about this idea. If there is and we can coalesce, it will be great.
Very cool! One issue with this is, depending on your security slider setting, this does not work in Tor Browser and presumably Firefox. In Private Browsing mode IndexedDB is apparently restricted, so it is only working in non-private windows for me, and of course JS must also be enabled.
The fact no one else here has considered that all your private healthcare data is going through an MITM that can strip SSL before reaching the endpoint is rather terrifying. Even if we assume CloudFlare is trustworthy, they are US based, which means little to no GDPR.
Neither, try KISSLinux or Gentoo on a VM to actually learn. Arch and Debian are both binary based and don't really teach you much in the way of development and command line.
> Two new Web browsing alternatives widen the field of browser choices for Linux users. The recent introduction of Microsoft Edge for Linux, and the Dec. 8 release of Vivaldi version 3.5 offer the freedom to experience a Google-free vehicle to navigate the Internet.
Sorry, but that the "Google-free" claim is just BS. Both browsers now run on the Google Chromium engine, and no matter how much lipstick you can put on a pig, it's still a pig. The only few independent browsers right now are Safari (Webkit) and Mozilla Firefox (Gecko), both of which are struggling in market share because everyone in their mother is creating their own Google rebranded browsers. There's also Goanna / UXP which is forked from Gecko Pre-Servo, but in the grand scheme of things there are very few Google-free vehicles left to navigate the Internet.
