In-reply-to » (#qgqxkpq) @prologic I don’t have the best experience with WebKit, at least not with WebKit2GTK on Linux. MacOS might be different, I don’t know. But on Linux, WebKit2GTK is always lightyears behind Firefox/Chromium in terms of … everything. That’s my experience with running WebKit2GTK browsers for well over a decade (luakit, uzbl, dwb, whatever). I even made my own browser at some point, but I recently basically decided to give up on it and go back to Firefox.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci well, I remember Reader’s Digest throwing whole catalogues to my Grandpa along with the magazines he had already paid for.
They had his address and credit card info with promotions like “only send this message and you’ll receive the next book”.
And for Flashing videos, we could go to Public TV broadcasting.

But I get your point, and I add. “If the ‘product’ is free, you are the product”. And those companies are trying to productize you. Manifest V3 is a clear example of the Status quo, disguised as “for your convenience”.

The real point is not being part of that “Society of complaining” but being key to actually change what bothers us.
