(The new video player theme looks pretty nice imo, but I also like the option to change it back to the old theme, leaving users choice. YouTube can take notes lol (they probably won't))

WorldWideWeb (later: Nexus) – the first web browser developed by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in the fall of 1990. It was written in the Objective-C programming language and run on the NeXTSTEP operating system. Later, WorldWideWeb was renamed Nexus to more clearly distinguish it from the World Wide Web. https://archiveapp.org/worldwideweb/ #webbrowser #nextstep

Das Problem sitzt leider noch etwas tiefer. Denn die einzigen halbwegs relevanten #Webbrowser sind:
* #Chrome (kontrolliert von #Google/Alphabet)
* #Safari (kontrolliert von #Apple)
* #Edge (kontrolliert von #Microsoft)
* #Firefox (kontrolliert von der #Mozilla Foundation)

Zwar sind ein paar davon #opensource und wir könnten jederzeit einen europäischen Fork davon aufmachen, aber effektiv stellt aktuell niemand die Ressourcen zur Verfügung, den auch langfristig zu pflegen.

@samuelFRDE It's Wordpress that made the update that messed up things that had always worked in Seamonkey ;-) Maybe they are not using WWW standards? Seamonkey is known to respect standards from the begining.

2025 In Review: What’s New In Web Performance?

Slow websites continue to be a problem and a lot of work is being done so developers can measure performance more effectively and fix performance issues.

A lot of todo is made about how many tabs people have open in their web browser. But how many terminals do you have open??

Me: 4

Honestly if nothing else, I'm interested to see what the AI browser battle will do for iPad browsers regardless of the AI functionality they try to bring to them

> Anyways, for an attacker, what all of this means is that you can make a multi-step clickjacking attack with lots of conditions and interactivity. And you can run logic on data from cross-origin frames.

Microsoft Edge 143: Massive Internationalisierungs-Updates und neue PWA-Logik

The out of the box browser crashes some times while having several tabs open, writing answers and trying to change the language.

Also:
The bad preset by #mastodon and or the browser to reload the page is not only disturbing but might interfere, as well as the more than questionable intent to set the language some how by the software.

Work around as of now is to be stubborn, click away the crash message "wait, close cancel or go on" and work on until settings are solved and message is sent. Open a new tab in the same window of any other message or link inside the website and close the "broken" tab.

Recommendation as of now:
* Don't open several tabs.
* Be stubborn and concentrated.
* Find out how to get rid of annoying and hurtful programing like page updates and automatic language settings.

Screens saved and ready for review.
