That's what they say in marketing materials, but TFA claims to have dumped their database and was speaking from experience dissecting that. Hard to say which should be trusted.

> apps allowing users to denote their windows as DRM content to avoid Recall That would prevent user-initiated screen captures as well. Not a good idea for browsers at least.

That only works if you have the "New Incognito Tab" page active. Not when you're actually browsing something.

I thought about it for a minute, and sure, given a chrome.exe HWND, I can't think of a way to tell if it's Incognito.[1] But companies work with important vendors on major features all the time. If they think it's important e

Good points, but it would still be a major step forward if websites start handling browser-simulated 3G well. Right now the typical webshit used by regular people more often than not ranges from barely usable to completely unusable on brows

As a web developer you can just throttle your connection in developer tools though, no self-limiting required. But nobody does that in big corporations building most of the sites needed by people with slow connections.

This is why I find it dreadful that evangelists here are heavily promoting live$whatever technology where every local state change requires at least one server roundtrip, or “browsers support esm now, bundling is a thing of the past!” etc.

JS executables with deno or bun aren’t terribly different from pyinstaller executables. Of course they’ve been made more convenient by being bundled with the toolchains.

A late edit for a brain fart: “and then you can’t ever refresh the page” should be removed since it can be served from service worker cache. You can’t refresh the page while allowing a connection to the server.

You should pick a text editor that doesn’t throw up a dialog when quitting then. I use CotEditor on macOS specifically for random notes, everything’s unsaved and some notes have survived dozens of reboots over a number of years.

The problem with these supposedly local, private web apps on other people’s domains is that they can start stealing your data any time the page is refreshed. The author can turn malicious (or was malicious to begin with), they can sell the
