Browsers need a lot of updates. No way I'd want to touch a single line of code in a browser. Somehow, something is going to break and I'll have to screw with it at an inconvenient time no matter how clever my auto update script is.
There's lots of stuff I'd like to change, but I am not wading through the nightmare pile of code to add mdns browsing and SyncThing bookmark sync.
It's too bad most apps are getting rid of true scriptability. Browsers would be way better if you could just drop a python file in a folder and change stuff.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 3y agoThe text-only browser I use does not need updates. I am able to script it via tmux. Overall I think "browsers" are overextended and overrated. I use them as HTML readers. I prefer separate programs for different tasks instead of one program for every task. The so-called "modern" web browser, a "nightmare pile of code" indeed.
