#TodayInHistory 1985 – Blake Ross, American computer programmer, is born.
Best known for his work as the co-creator of the #Mozilla #Firefox #webbrowser
He envisioned a smaller, easy-to-use browser that could have mass appeal, and Firefox was born from that idea. Released in November 2004, when Ross was 19, Firefox quickly grabbed market share, with 100 million downloads in less than a year.
#Spionage möglich:
40.000 #Sicherheitskameras hängen ungeschützt am #Netz
#Forscher haben Tausende von #Sicherheitskameras entdeckt, auf die mit einem #Webbrowser frei zugegriffen werden kann. Nicht mal Passwörter werden abgefragt.
Sicherheitskameras werden häufig eingesetzt, um besonders schützenswerte Orte oder Räumlichkeiten zu überwachen. Einige dieser Geräte sind aber offenbar völlig ungeschützt mit dem Internet verbunden, so dass jeder mit einem Webbrowser...
So out of curiosity, in response to a post I saw from someone the other day, I checked and "#Gnome Web", also called "#Epiphany" has an option for mouse gestures. Just turned it on and tested it and sure enough a two finger swipe on my laptop trackpad goes back and forth between pages, 🙂
#Brave has an option for it and it's enabled but I can't seem to get it to work.
#Firefox has it enabled by default and it works fine.

As said by a famous YouTuber, you cannot browse the web without an adblocker.
There was a time when ads weren’t intrusive nor abusive. Today, the cost of blocking them is lower than the cost of displaying them, even in terms of bandwidth and CPU cycles.
You should go scorched earth with adblocking. No exceptions.

Shouldn't we stop calling the #webbrowser a webbrowser and start calling it something that it really is? Something like a "universal virtual machine" or something like that?
And if we do so, we also could finally stop calling #smartphones smartphones... i mean, what is the percentage of "phone" use of such phones today? 10%?
