@thecanine@twtxt.net I downloaded puffin browser on my iPhone and it didn’t even load twtxt properly!?

I’m not sure how I would even go tackling this issue… Perhaps I can fiddle with overflow elements 🤔

Also having webpage rendering done on a third party server and then delivered back to you seems like an odd choice. I’m curious to know why you chose Puffin as your web browser?

I completely agree actually. I read their technical papers on this and their claims are kind of a bit stupid really. I don’t get it, why would you want to browse the web by asking someone else’s server farm to render the website for you, then send it back in some shitty form? 🤦‍♂️ This is not really protecting you at all from anything, what it is doing is allowing Puffin Browser to collect large swarths of data on their users and then abuse that data in weird and interesting ways.

@prologic@twtxt.net “and then abuse that data in weird and interesting ways” — oh boy, indeed! I would not touch that thing with a 49’ pole. I bet he is using it because of Flash, to play shitty games. I might be mistaking.

I wouldn’t worry much about this “browser”.
