The machine now works on mobile devices, bringing the web4 browsing revolution to your fingertips!

#mobileweb #web #webdev #browsing #openweb #sausage #machinery #industry #web4

See the machine in action! This is the future of web browsing.

No more "Clicks".
You drag your links to the link grater to extract their content with the easy pull of a lever.

You can then conveniently turn the loading wheel to load the page.

I built a proof of concept for a #web browser ui without buttons, one that exposes the #raw process of loading a page, and hopefully makes us more thoughtful internet surfers

You can't click links
You have to drag them to the grater bed
You have to then grate the link down for #content by moving a lever back and forth
Then you spin the wheel clockwise to load a page
This is the future of web #browsing

Protecting the Literary Zeitgeist of Hyde Park’s Indie Book Scene

“A good bookstore sells books, but its primary product, if you will, is the browsing experience…One of the great benefits of the act of browsing is the rumination it evokes.”Source: Jeff Deutsch, “In Praise of Good Bookstores“

If there is a neighborhood in Chicago that reaches for the pinnacle of a book lover’s nirvana, it has to be Hyde Park. Surrounding the University of Chicago and situated just south of the Loop, this epicenter of learning, education, and literature is a bibliophile’s wonderland of Indie bookstores.

However, just when it felt like the dust had settled from years of fighting off the tentacles of Amazon’s loss-leading blitzkrieg on bookstores, a new threat has set up shop right in Hyde Park’s very midst. This time it’s not a digital menace, but instead a big-box goliath — Barnes & Noble.

Yes, in a free market, competition is supposed to benefit the consumer. But, and this is a big but, at what cost? Price is not and should never be the sole factor, especially in the book realm. What about the value of the experience? What about service? What about variety? What about the discovery of the unexpected? What about home-grown? What about locally owned and operated? What about sanctuary-like ambiance? What about a delicate mix of existing independent bookstores who live and operate as a cohesive draw to Hyde Park?

“The value is, and always has been, at least in the good and serious bookstores, in the experience of being among books–an experience afforded to anyone who enters the space with curiosity and time. And the yield is discovery, not of what we think we know we want, but of that which we have yet to encounter.” Source: Jeff Deutsch, “In Praise of Good Bookstores“

Typically, a big-box store will not draw people from far outside the local vicinity when it has dozens of locations spread all over Chicagoland (21 at last count). Meanwhile, a unique and varied collection of Indie bookstores can and will do just that (draw customers from further afield) because of the collective experience they offer — and that sublimely satisfying pastime known as “browsing” where one can wander, wonder, discover, ponder, and partake without interruption. Such a unique labor of love [browsing] can never be truly replicated in a big box. Imitated maybe. Replicated, never.

“Big-name box bookstores have installed cafes and armchairs precisely because people like to hang out around books. Next time you’re in one of those cavernous megasellers, see for yourself how they’ve worked yo create ambiance. Look at the shelf placement, how they’ve been arranged to mark off cozy little reading nooks. Somebody’s tried very hard to make you forget you’re in a warehouse.” Source: Wendy Welch, “The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap”

Call & Response, 57th Street, Powell’s, Seminary Co-op, University of Chicago Bookstore, and Build Coffee & Books all combine to fulfill a literarian’s needs in this special corner of the Windy City. Why, other than to disrupt the curated zeitgeist of Hyde Park, does B &N really need to be there?

Hopefully, over time B &N will find itself out of place in Hyde Park and move on to greener pastures elsewhere. And if they do hang around for longer, it’s as a cohort versus a predator.

My guess is the good people who shop the existing Indie bookstores in and around Hyde Park will continue their time-honored tradition of supporting the stores that germinated in and around Hyde Park and avoid the intruder. May it be so.

In the interim, either the individual store websites or bookshop.org offer easy access for all of us who cannot be physically in Chicago on a regular basis to assist the Indie bookstores in Hyde Park. All of them, except the campus bookstore have a presence on the bookshop.org site (57th Street through Seminary Co-op).

Peace, happy reading, and great browsing!

🎺 Oh no! #FFmpeg flexes its #DMCA muscles on GitHub while users are left battling the dark age of JavaScript-less #browsing. 😂 Meanwhile, X Corp's Help Center suggests sacrificing #privacy for a smoother ride—because who needs privacy anyway? 🙈

"I stopped using " #Incognito Mode" for #privacy after learning about #fingerprinting"

#Incognitomode is one of the biggest privacy misnomers. The name is designed to make you feel like you're protected #online, that what you're #browsing is #anonymous and hidden away from the world.

But in reality, #privatebrowsing isn't private, and that needs to be addressed.

Nachdem ich viele Jahre Javascript standardmäßig im Fennec abgeschaltet habe und jedes einzelne Script manuell zulasse, habe ich den Eindruck, dass viele Seitenbetreiber sich gar keine Mühe mehr geben, sauber in HTML zu schreiben. Wie viele externe Scripte teilweise benötigt werden, ist völlig irre. Ich lasse gerne das seiteneigene Script zu, aber das macht manchmal nur 5% aller Scripte aus. Sobald man eines zulässt, werden dadurch fünf weitere externe geladen.

#Google #Chrome adds new Security Layer for #Gemini #AI #Agentic #Browsing.

Agentic browsing is an emerging mode in which an AI agent is configured to autonomously perform for the user multi-step tasks on the web, including navigating sites, reading their content, clicking buttons, filling forms and carrying out a sequence of actions.

https://security.googleblog.com/2025/12/architecting-security-for-agentic.html

#alignment #critic #llm #it #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news

⁉️User Alignment Critic is a separate LLM model isolated from untrusted content that acts as a "high-trust system component." Gemini is Google’s AI assistant, that can generate text, media and code. It is used on Android and various Google services, and integrated into Chrome since September.⁉️

<https://blog.google/products/chrome/new-ai-features-for-chrome/>

The new architecture, presented in an announcement from Google’s engineer Nathan Parker, mitigates the risk of indirect prompt injection, where malicious page content manipulates AI agents into performing unsafe actions that lead to user data exposure or fraudulent transactions.

👾Parker explains that the new security system involves a layered defense approach combining deterministic rules, model-level protections, isolation boundaries and user oversight.👾

User Alignment Critic logic on Chrome.

⁉️The main pillars of the new architecture are:⁉️

• User Alignment Critic – A second, isolated Gemini model that cannot be “poisoned” by malicious prompts will vet every action the primary AI agent wants to take by examining metadata and independently evaluating its safety. If the action is deemed risky or irrelevant to the user’s set goal, it orders a retry or hands control back to the user.

• User oversight – When the agent visits sensitive sites such as banking portals or requires Password Manager sign-ins to access stored passwords, Chrome pauses the process and prompts the user to confirm the action manually.

• Prompt injection detection – A dedicated classifier on Chrome scans pages for indirect prompt-injection attempts. This system operates alongside Safe Browsing and on-device scam detection, blocking suspected malicious actions or scam content.

User prompted to handle final step of risky actions.

⁉️Google's layered defense approach towards agentic browsing shows that the company is more careful about giving its LLMs access to the browser than vendors of similar products, who researchers showed to be vulnerable to phishing, prompt injection, and purchasing from fake shops through prompt injection attacks.⁉️

<https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/prompt-injection-is-not-sql-injection>

Google has also developed automated red-teaming systems that generate test sites and LLM-driven attacks to continuously test defenses and develop new ones where required, pushed quickly to users via Chrome’s auto-update mechanism.

👾Finally, Google has announced bounty payments of up to $20,000 for security researchers who can break the new system, calling the community to join in the effort to build a robust agentic browsing framework on Chrome.👾

Just a reminder that the Marginalia search engine exists. It prioritizes the less known, hobby sites. And is ran off one server by the guy who wrote it...
