- stqism 2y agoIt sounds dumb, but honestly modern browsers feel way closer to the JRE than they did things designed to fetch and render sites.
- amluto 2y agoHow is securely connecting to a device that isn’t, itself, connected to the cloud, fetching a webpage from it, and rendering it out of scope for a web browser? Certainly URLs like http://192.168.1.1 http://192.168.1.1 have been in scope for decades — why can’t a web browser figure out how to support that use case well?
- finack 2y agoWeb browsers can already do that. I'm not sure what else is desired beyond what they already do.
