@jrconlin Why would you do that to Mexico?
You would have to build another wall. Would texans pay for it?
Who needs a text editor having an AI?
Who needs an AI, after being fired because an AI has replaced him?
Who is going to use a search engine, thinking at the same time that an AI is the answer for everything?
Seriously, I'm sick of skipping all the ads and AI garbage everytime I do a web search. And it is only getting worse everyday.
Mira, con el Necronomicón pasa lo mismo.

Good!
Fewer satellites to make astronomers work difficult!

If websites were ad-less and tracking-less, most of them would be nearly JS-less, video-less, cookie-less... Garbage-less.
But most of them are 90% garbage-full, so JS and cookies get all the hate. They are fine; the problem is when people use them with no sense of responsability. Ads should not increase page size more than a 10%; but they usually are more than 90%. Terrible.
No surprise most of us use adblockers.

March 6th is an important date for the Digital Markets Act (DMA). By that time Big Tech has to comply with the regulation.
One part of the regulation is the choice screen. The choice screen shows user a choice of browsers when setting up the device and allows them to select which one they want to use.
We attended a meeting where we gave feedback on how the choice screen should work for it to be effective. We said it was important that the order of choice screen browsers would be random and that there should be a full visible description. Google´s mockups gave priority to Big Tech, by always having them in the top 5 positions and only shows logo and name, meaning brand recognition is everything.
We also made the point that the default browser should have its icon on the front screen in the prime position, so it is easily found.
My question to you is this: Do you think Google will implement an effective or ineffective choice screen?

Disabling JS in your mobile browser is a nice trick when you have crappy connectivity or on metered. Most of sites sort of work, but much, much faster. Ads, some paywalls, and most of cookie walls dissappear, too. It is a more relaxed, minimalist way of browsing. And if something you really care doesn't work, you can share the url with another browser.
On the flip side, it makes you painfully aware of the terrible way we have fucked the web. Sadly, most of JS code is written against user interests, serving only corporate ones.

So if I throw mine from 15,997, it won't be broken anymore, uh?
Holy water.
1) Qué más da. Vas a llegar con el mismo retraso.
2) Ambas.
3) Demasiadas.
We will always have Firefox, they still support Android 5.
Long live the fox!
Es mejor el de 365º.
I found once a staircase ending on a wall at the bottom, so if you were going down real fast you were up for a nasty surprise.
Aunque estoy viendo que en este caso basta con desactivar JavaScript.
Qué ganas tienen de que les leamos en modo incógnito o con extensiones cada vez más locas.
Because polar bear urine is great for cocktails.
