Do you like the name better than "Chrome"? If someone says "I use Chrome" what does than mean to you? Just curious. Perhaps some websites do not make use of all the standards, thus browsers do not need support for all th

Perhaps the author is just dreaming of another browser in addition to the one you prefer. One with different/less features. It is interesting how this is somehow a controversial idea. Is there some reason that the number of web brow

Although I have never published a blog, I sometimes thought about how I might do it if I did. The "comments" could be treated like "letters" (to the editor). Comments could be treated as submissions, subject to prior a

Thank you for sharing this Microsoft story. One way to interpret it is that the only people who would hire you and your colleagues and compensate you the most were [insert unpleasant description]. I say that sincerely as someone who many

The idea I had for this over 10 years ago was to modify djb's dnstxt to output raw HTML with a MIME header. tinydns allows one to store arbitrary data so I could put anything in a 512-byte DNS packet, including "text/html&qu

There is some truth to what you are saying however I think one could easily be just as "astounded and disamyed" at your comment's lack of social conscience. There is a legtimate legal question over the valuation of some of t

What would happen if you had removed the photo but continued to run the site, without using the photo. Then the only issue is the "back-pay". Seems like their argument for "back-pay" is weak if you were previously und

Maybe could chain the networks together. An exit node on one onion routing network might automatically send traffic to another onion routing network.

Here is a simple question: Why is there only one "Tor". Why haven't there been more onion routing projects. (Maybe there have been and I am just not aware.) Perhaps the same reason(s) we never saw widespread adoption of remot

"... it would stand little chance against the competing platforms." Little chance of what. It sounds like this is framing the web as some sort of commercial venture. And Google is the gatekeeper. A venture where they can effecti

Personally use an "allow list" as opposed to a "block list". Not sure which is "easier" but definitely know which one is faster, more efficient and has zero misses or false positives. Arguably its more useful

Two ways to "scale". Up or down. FORTH scales down. Interesting how developers today impicitly assume the term "scale" mean "scale up".

Idea: Send ads to jedberg but not everyone. The problem with ads, no matter how "personalised", is that they are sent to everyone by default. Almost no one changes defaults. Often there is not even an option to opt-out. Whether

If Mozilla enables it by default but "offers a way to turn it off", this would still count as enabling FLoC. Google could enable FLoC in Chromium by default and then, correct me if I am wrong, the browsers based on Chromium would

Is there anyone on HN who believes Mozilla will not implement FLoC in Firefox. Mozilla has stated over and over that it is a firm believer in advertising as "essential" for the internet to survive. In practice, they never phrase
