Which is not the case on Plan 9.

NetSurf is closer to a browser.

Sure does!

Awesome (although I never owned an Amiga myself)! Thanks for your work.

I know that this might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t really care about whether the software I use every day is open source or not, given that I rarely need to look into the source code anyway. (Do you?) Is the webRequest API about to be phased out?

Why would your trust in Mozilla have anything to do with using this browser?

Browsers based on Firefox are at the mercy of Mozilla. If Mozilla once again delivers a new function that is directed against privacy, those who develop Firefox-based browsers must either deactivate this function or also deliver it. And this is not always clearly documented. And Mozilla has simply acted against my interests too often - I no longer even trust LibreWolf.

(Leaving this aside, I also fail to see any advantage of Zen over Vivaldi.)

If you want a keyboard centered workflow it’s hard to beat.

Easy.

based on Firefox

Ew. No, thank you. Seriously, Mozilla has completely destroyed all trust in Firefox.

and open source

So is Vivaldi.

The short answer: NetSurf, because it is the only contemporary web browser that also works under Plan 9, is extremely resource-efficient and is not based on one of the big (= commercial) browser engines.

The long answer: It depends. I like to use eww to test the accessibility of a website, but since Mozilla destroyed everything I liked about Firefox in November 2017, I’ve been using Vivaldi as my main browser. Although Vivaldi is based on Chromium, it is quite privacy-friendly, performant and extremely customisable. Unfortunately, some websites do not work very well with NetSurf. (I like to report this as a bug to the website operator. It is fatal that everyone always assumes that everyone wants to load and execute hundreds of KiB of JavaScript).

Hat den blöden Nebeneffekt, dass die Politik auch anderen Menschen kaum ein neues Angebot machen will. Führt zur niedrigen Wahlbeteiligung.

A viable alternative is Guix, which uses Scheme for its scripts and could also use the Hurd kernel instead of Linux, but works the same.

I wish it had been more obvious that there was real text underneath the annoying swaying, so that read mode would have been a logical choice from the beginning.

I get seasick from this ‘visual storytelling’.

Ja, der schöne Ledergeschmack ist weg.

Ich finde ja, Christian Sewing sollte hier seiner Vorbildfunktion gerecht werden.

Im Finanzplan von Volkswagen und VW Nutzfahrzeuge besteht nach SPIEGEL-Informationen ein Loch von vier bis fünf Milliarden Euro.

Wie passend, dass die Dividende für 2023 ungefähr so hoch war.

Wait until you see the Lisp community. But yes, Rust is currently in its “why are there even any other languages lol” phase. Just wait.

Friends don’t let friends use a dark mode.

I understand the reluctance but it feels to me like arguing “we should just stick with COBOL because it works.”

For those depending on COBOL code that does the job and has been doing it just well for a few decades, there are approximately zero good reasons to not stick with it.
