PS My apologies @nicktaylor, now that I've read more into Ladybird I see they're doing both. Creating a new browser *and* a new not-for-profit for it. I'll be intrigued to see how they plan to structure the org to avoid Mozilla's fate.

Also why they decided to start from scratch, instead of forking at least some components of a working libre browser. Even if only to swap them out over time, as Chromium did.

"Exclusive: #OpenAI to release #webBrowser in challenge to #Google #Chrome"

Great news everybody

Instead of Google suctioning up all of your personal info, now people can eagerly rush to have all of their personal info suctioned up by an #enshittification manipulation hallucination #AI interface

Personally, I'm waiting for #Thiel's #Palantir #web #browser! Woo hoo! (/s)

"The architectural view in which search, social, and browsing are distinct is a distraction that does not map to the experienced reality of most people and that is in fact conceptually arbitrary with respect to the tasks that people actually seek to accomplish on the Web. In a sense, we're missing the Web for the tabs."

Robin BerjonYou're Gonna Need A Bigger BrowserBrowsers are hugely load-bearing in the Web's architecture, and yet they haven't changed very much in quite a while. If the Web is indeed for user agency, we should take a hard look at our user agents to see if they might not need improvement.

The browser I use on Android (Fennec F-Droid) just switched my default search engine back to Goggle, and what's worse, completely removed Mojeek and Brave as search options. This is an anti-feature!

It would be great if F-Droid builds of Android browsers stripped out the code that pulls dick moves like this.

»Firefox experimentiert mit neuer Suchmaschine:
Mit der neuen KI-Funktion möchte Mozilla seinen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern ermöglichen, dialogorientierte Antworten auf Fragen zu erhalten.«

Nutzt dies wer von euch schon und wie ist es zum nutzen? Wird dies evt auch von @librewolf übernomen und sind KI Suchmaschinen wirklich besser als bisherige? Ich bin skeptisch hatte dies aber noch nie genutzt.

So out of curiosity, in response to a post I saw from someone the other day, I checked and "#Gnome Web", also called "#Epiphany" has an option for mouse gestures. Just turned it on and tested it and sure enough a two finger swipe on my laptop trackpad goes back and forth between pages, 🙂

#Brave has an option for it and it's enabled but I can't seem to get it to work.

#Firefox has it enabled by default and it works fine.
