For a no-JS web browser, try also Dillo, it is very lightweight ad it has been recently updated.

Not only in Chrome, you can use Brave, Vivaldi based on Blink.

This was back in 2020 and they pardoned for it, it's time to give Brave another chance!

There are more: Epiphany (GNOME Web), Ultralight, Servo, Ladybird, Ekioh Flow.

Ungoogled Chromium doesn't include any tracking by Google and there are privacy-friendly Firefox forks: LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser.

What's wrong with MD? Is parsing it more complicated than HTML? Why can't Dillo support rendering MD documents like it supports Gemini?

For GMaps alternative, there are Here WeGo or Bing Maps. For Android, there are Sailfish OS or Ubuntu Touch. For Chrome, there are Brave or Vivaldi (Blink-based). Google is not irreplaceable.

E.g. Vivaldi is Chromium-based but doesn't include Nano Banana.

But Edge, Brave or Vivaldi are based on the same Chromium engine as Chrome.

Serious question: why do you use Google Chrome in the first place, when there are better alternatives, e.g. Brave (crypto stuff could be easily disabled) or Vivaldi, both with adblocker?

There are already: Matrix, Jabber, Mumble, Zulip - all open source.

by niutech 8mo ago
Discourse, Matrix, Zulip, Rocket.chat - all open source.

Freeloading? Bad word. There are plenty of free/open source alternatives like Discourse, Zulip, Matrix, so why would anybody pay for something which should be free to use and respect user privacy?
46.
by niutech 8mo ago
No, Discord/Slack is a mess. Interesting topics got buried in an IRC-style chat. Threaded BBS are much better for organizing communities, like Discourse. And it is open source, so no vendor lock-in with stupid age verification.

What's the difference if Apple gets $20B from Google and spends $1B to another company or just gets $19B from Google and doesn't spend nothing?

Llamafile ( https://llamafile.ai ) can easily exceed 4GB due to containing LLM weights inside. But remember, you cannot run >4GB executable files on Windows.

Why not generate good old RTF files instead of PDF? They are much simpler and support more than ASCII charset.

How about comparing with Duktape ( https://duktape.org )?

by niutech 10mo ago
There are still Espruino JS devices.

Tauri also targets the lightweight Servo engine, so you don't need to budle a bloated CEF.

Why noy use Flatpak instead of AppImage then?

by niutech 10mo ago
But Win32 API is stable, I can run Windows 95 apps in Windows 11!

by niutech 10mo ago
There are even more lightweight alternatives for Electron than Tauri: NodeGui, Neutralino.js, Sciter, DeskGap and more: https://github.com/sudhakar3697/awesome-electron-alternative...
