   I was referring to HTMX 1.0.0, which was 26KB: https://bundlephobia.com/package/htmx.org@1.0.0 It's not only about bandwidth, but JS code has to be parsed and executed, which takes CPU time, which is especially af

   HTML already allows a lot of HTMX functionality with just 166 bytes of JS glue code, see HTMZ: https://leanrada.com/htmz You can make tabs, accordions, carousels, modals, popovers and even Pure HTML Out-Of-Order Streaming (

   As for slimming down over time, HTMX 1.0 was 26KB minified, now version 2.0 is 48KB minified. Why has it blown up by 184%, when it dropped IE support? Why don't keep it lightweight? Compare it with e.g. Petite Vue, which is 16KB minifi

   You deleted 500 lines of JS and added 44KB of (minified) HTMX. Better use HTMZ, which is only 166 bytes (sic!) and provides most of the interactivity: https://leanrada.com/htmz/

   > I'd love to see LadyBird become a real contender in the browser market. Definitely Ladybird, but I'd also love to see Servo and Netsurf being developed.

    Actually Servo development has accelerated greatly since 2023: https://github.com/servo/servo/graphs/contributors

    There is already a prototype of Servo browser in Qt: https://www.kdab.com/embedding-servo-in-qt/

    Actually Ladybird had its own separate repo before merging with SerenityOS monorepo: https://github.com/SerenityOS/ladybird , so now it's like reverting it.

    How can we oppose to this? At least open source projects should use open source communication tools.

    I was talking about Brave Search ( https://search.brave.com ), not Brave browser. Seaech doesn't promote crypto.

    DDG was once caught red-handed of tracking for Microsoft: https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/24/ddg-microsoft-tracking-blo...

    DDG has a history of breaching privacy: https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/24/ddg-microsoft-tracking-blo... Meanwhile Brave Search or Mojeek provide more privacy, being independent at the same time.

    From their FAQ (thanks to Web Archive): > Where do you get your results? > From over 30 sources, including DuckDuckBot (our own crawler), crowd-sourced sites (in our own index), Yahoo! BOSS, embed.ly, WolframAlpha, EntireWeb, Bing &am

    So basically DDG is the wrapper for Bing Search, not an "independent" search company as they claim.

    They claim on their website ( https://duckduckgo.com/about ): "We are the independent Internet privacy company", meanwhile they prove otherwise. They depend on Bing API, unlike Brave Search or Mojeek, which are trul

    5.8" is "smaller" screen? So what will you tell about my 4.5" BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, which I use for daily web browsing? 5.8" is huge, it cannot fit in the pocket!
