Example of anti-user UI on iOS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6uwiG1nKK4 In Settings > Safari, the “Default Browser App” option for choosing a different default browser is hidden. But if you set your default browser in that browser’s own settings, then in Settings > Safari, “Default Browser App” will appear. @simevidas Definitely true, I even tried to disable JavaScript in general for a while, but unfortunately too many sites break... CSS can detect the presence of a vertical classic scrollbar: body { @container (width < 100vw) { “Have you ever wondered why every cooking recipe on the web has a twenty page biopic preamble? Because Google likes it better that way.” Let’s say you want to take a look at Dinamo Zagreb’s squad on Transfermarkt (https://www.transfermarkt.com/gnk-dinamo-zagreb/startseite/verein/419). Default page load (in Chrome): 7.9 MB transferred Page load with blocking of non-critical scripts* (in Firefox): 1.68 MB transferred *The three critical script domains for this website are transfermarkt.com itself, tmsi.akamaized.net, and tmssl.akamaized.net. So just by blocking non-critical scripts, the data usage goes down -78,7%.  Scripts are one thing, but videos are more annoying. Every news website seems to have autoplaying videos that no one ever asked for. I really really wish browsers would offer a way to block media elements. Not all this "we'll try to detect whether blah blah and maybe don't autoplay if this and that" nonsense. No. Not these pathetic half-measures. I want a switch that makes the browser forget what a <video> means. Such that it would treat it like an unknown tag. That's the only way. Things I like about Firefox: * about:config It’s unbelievable that we can create vaccines for submicroscopic organisms and land vehicles on Mars, but CSS pretends that scrollbars don’t exist because it’s “hard to implement”. @simevidas I mean we got :has(), container queries and nesting which were "impossible" in the past… so there's gotta be a way. A compromise would be to offer `env(viewport-scrollbar-gutter-size)` or something so we could at least do some calculation to get the value we want without resorting to a JS solution, but that's not optimal either. Your tweets can no longer be viewed by people who are not logged in. If you tweet something today, you’re not sharing it publicly. This basically prevents me from tweeting original content anymore. I cannot have my tweets be behind a login wall. That’s unacceptable. I cannot even share links to tweets anymore because some of my readers many not be able to easily access that content. Twitter has made bad moves recently, but this is the worst by far. I have 70 links to Twitter on my website. I may need to replace them if Twitter doesn’t remove the login wall. If you drag an emoji family with a string size of 11 into an input with maxlength=10, one of the children will disappear.

@simevidas Monolingual engineers confidently decide that being bilingual or multilingual is just weird and can be ignored, rather than applying to most of the world.
