The JavaScript trust issue will always be a concern when webcrypto is used, and webcrypto is a web Api expected to be made broadly available across browsers (desktop and mobile). If somehow the concept of TWA can be made easy for developers

Oh yes, as if it was an offline app when initiated. Interesting. You should really make this more broadly available and perhaps build service around it. If you can make it security sounded, then I’m sold. Perhaps, it solves the trust issue

What if the hacker changes the HTML file to point to their evil version of JavaScript file without ever triggering the Service Worker’s cache? Will that defeat the security feature?

The concept of Transparent Web Apps (TWA) is an interesting one - more so than AirbornOS itself. Any chance of packaging it (i.e. in the form of library, or make it as a SaaS) to promote adoption? This can enable more TWA and perhaps pivot

Can service worker’s code ever be updated by the hacker? How does this actually work?

The Firefox team killed the ready to go Filesystem api, which could have also nicely standardized. Never forgive, never forget.

I found Firefox very inefficient when working with large file says a 2GB file. It doesn't have filesystem api like Chrome does. There is no ability to do low-level create, read, update and delete (CRUD) file operations. For example, yo

This is negligence. Public safety should always be paramount. One cannot claim to be a professional without credentials. People lives are at risk because of mind set like yours. If the Equifax security head truly is qualified, then why dele

Last I checked, the leak was not thirty years ago.

Those doctors have formal credentials. Does Equifax security head have the equivalent formal credentials? Anyone can get to top position if they know who and how to suck up.

I don't have formal credentials in medicine, but I know how to hold a knife. Will you trust me to do a surgery on you?

I sure hope history will repeat itself. Just like Desktop, web apps are taking over. Hopefully, PWAs will do the same in mobile. No one wants to install/update apps anymore. They are not exciting. They are chore.

I say non-skippable YouTube video ads are more annoying and affect more people. Go punish yourself Google. Pathetic.

You are fooling yourself securing your own network, while open a huge back door to Dropbox. Dropbox is not secure by design. They choose not to do end-to-end encryption, so that they can actively read your files.

Dropbox holds all the encryption keys. They do not use end to end encryption.

If one is paranoid, why trust the "people", while View Source is simply a click away. As long as one is low enough in the overall software/hardware stacks, selectivity is really not that difficult to achieve. Protection come

Your browser can auto-update, your OS can have backdoor, drone and satellite can fly over our heads and observe our every moves. The safest way is to hide in a cave and put on tin foil hat. If one does not trust the service provider, then

Try to BS your way to managerial position, and you will never have to write a single line of code.

I rather have Civilization backup in Mars. If the Earth goes, the Moon wouldn't be in a very good shape. Just like I wouldn't go hide in the kitchen, while the living room is burning down.

Today's Google is a sugar coated evil corporation. "Don't be evil"... pathetic.

Budget has always been their disadvantages, yet in the pre-Chrome days, they were core product focused and won many developers support. Their vision was once inspiring and admirable. This was how they won over IE. However, ever since Chrome

Perhaps I was being critical, but it sadden me to see Mozilla is making one missteps after another. I think they are missing the point. Instead of competing with other browser vendors for developers, they choose to go the other way.

I just found it damaging to their vision and brand. Take Hello and Persona as example. User focused? Yes. Failure? Absolutely. They need to be developers focused. Less and less developers are testing their apps with Firefox as the primary p

Mozilla should focus on building the browser instead of building app that competes with other developers. They need to start listening to the developers community and stop being arrogant and ignorant. You build the foundation, and developer

How about rewrite/convert the app in C++ and deliver it via WebAssembly?

by woranl 9y ago
Soon, you won't be able to if WebAssembly becomes popular.

Nowadays, browser is not just to render a page. The web itself is a platform. Try turn off javascript, and you'll see what I mean. Mozilla is failing because they are being arrogant and don't listen to developers. It's not ju

It's sandboxed. I would love to see Firefox to succeed. That would be good for the web. But Firefox cannot succeed if Mozilla is unwilling to innovate. Stuff like this is why Firefox is falling behind. Stuff like this is what different
