#FrogFind

2025-04-13

OK, j’ai trouvé comment retrouver l’usage de #FrogFind sur le PC Windows 11 : il fallait… forcer un user-agent disant qu’on est sur Linux et non un Windows récent, comme le dit ce message sur GitHub qui a pu me mettre sur la piste :
github.com/ActionRetro/FrogFin

Et là, ben, ça remarche !

Purée… 🤦

Je comprends toujours pas le problème que j’ai avec #FrogFind : depuis le gros PC Windows 11, j’ai une 503 quand j’essaie d’y accéder ; alors que tout roule depuis les PC sous Arch Linux (et aussi la tablette Windows RT ; donc c’est même pas un souci lié à l’OS).

Passer des DNS de FDN à Unbound n’a rien arrangé, donc pas causé par ça non plus. Et les deux machines sont sur le même réseau local et le même réseau Wi-Fi de la box aussi.

Je sèche vraiment sur ce qui coince, car il y a aucune raison que ça coince…

Des idées, les gens ?

#WhatsMissing:

A modern competitor to #OperaMini with:

Why?

OFC since #Opera #Mini needs a trustworthy proxy backend any "#clone" would need an #OpenSource'd & #SelfHosting-capable #backend (similar to @ActionRetro 's #FrogFind .com as it breaks #E2EE.

Needless to say it would be a godsent for anyone stuck on #EDGEland and slower speeds (i.e. #SATCOM like #Iridium)...

Argh, #FrogFind is down, today…

Is there a maintenance operation currently, @ActionRetro ?

@shaknais I mean, #LynxBrowser is AFAICT pretty standard-compliant.

  • Just not doing #JavaScript, delegating Images as links to other programs and barely supporting cookies.

Kinda like #FrogFind by @ActionRetro , tho FrogFind is way more advanced and can handle most modern websites to a degree...

You use FrogFind to get online with your vintage computer.

I use FrogFind to get online over Iridium and EDGEland-speed throttled mobile networks.

  • We are not the same!

@dj3ei @SecurityWriter @torproject well, these all can work with neither #Tracking-#Cookies nor obnoxious #JavaScript and have excellent #API|s that enable a vibrant ecosystem of 3rd party #clients and #Apps that can leverage them.

It's sad to see that tools like #FrogFind are nowadays necessary to be able to access the #web for the most part and whilst I'll be forever grateful to @ActionRetro for building this, I think it's unfair that we don't demand the same if not better #accessibility from #GAFAMs and other big corporations!

@asaflowerblossoms personally, my best experiences are sites that just run in #TorBrowser with disabled images, #JavaScript and #Cookies because it works even on slow systems and narrowband connections.

@dw_innovation okay, maybe not the answer I hoped for given that this means manually dropping security in @torproject / #TorBrowser.

  • Still I'm not completely sketched out by that given #DWnews reputation, but I know this could he done better, as various websites and even stores and forums as #OnionServices showcase...

Given upcoming #accessibility requirements in #Germany I'm convinced cross-testing with #LynxBrowser over #Tor will likely be one of those things that'll necessitate changing that.

  • A potential workaround is to use an "accessibility proxy" like @ActionRetro 's #FrogFind ¹ which already comes in handy on extreme narrowband connections like #Iridium ²...

Oh yeah. After a battery swap and a hotspot on my phone, I have my Palm TX online. #palmos #palm #pda #frogfind @ActionRetro

@xan @connections @ActionRetro I guess #FrogFind is the new #ToasterTest then...

Will call @OS1337 Version 0.2 when it can download a prebuilt of #lynx browser and open up frogfind.com in it. ^

In another thrilling episode of "things connected to the internet that probably shouldnt be anymore", here's a Samsung Beat DJ from 2009 (with B&O tuned audio no less!) firing up #frogfind

Yes I like to play with old phones, PDAs and music players if you haven't noticed. 😁
