making a web browser

Name: Anonymous 2017-06-17 17:17

In the face of recent changes in Firefox some anons were asking for a /g/'s perfect web browser, we have collected here the most wanted and plan on continuing with the creation.

Half of those can be done with a filtering proxy.

you can customize your home page, with the 'tiles' of quick access chosen by you, instead of decided by an algorithm
Set your homepage to a local HTML file. You can make it show whatever you want.

>>41
That's no reason to stop trying.

But why use a proxy when you can check the rules in your own computer, without overhead?

And the algorithms are still running even if you're using a different page. They're connecting to cloud services to get the best fit according to your signature.

I don't think that you know what ``filtering proxy'' means, it does not need to be in a separate computer.

And the algorithms are still running even if you're using a different page. They're connecting to cloud services to get the best fit according to your signature.
What?

Why doesn't firefox just build in adblock and umatrix into the browser already? Who are they trying to appease?

Advertising is a source of income for them.

Why would they bloat the browser even more?

Firefox's initial appeal was the system of extensions that you voluntarily add to it.
>>47
Donations for the longest time were Mozilla Foundation's primary source of income. I could be wrong, but I think that this was the case until the whole Brendan Eich thing.

Firefox has been bloated for a very long time http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/firefox

You haven't been programming for long if you think that bloat isn't a problem.

Why does everyone always make this retarded suggestion all the time? This would only make it a must for advertisers to find a way to circumvent the block as soon as possible. In the current state of affairs, they are simply losing some revenue, not going completely out of business and are not hard pressed to lobby in the congress or doing some other desperate thing to stay alive. The antiadblock measures rolled out by jew ``newspapers'' only exist because some retard thought it would be cool to make adblockers popular enough for the ad jews to notice them.

Disabling JS by default everywhere is the real solution to ads and tracking.

>>52
And right now they gain money because a few dumb fucks are unable to install an ad-blocker by themselves.

And note that of course I don’t have flash, java or any such nonsense installed, so either it is firefox or one of the few hundred linux libraries it uses(I don’t have any windows or OS X boxes, so I have no clue if it leaks this much on other platforms).

SPOILER: It doesn't

That's not really true, because it can be served server-side and then you can be tracked after requesting it.

I like to see how disabling JS will protect you against this. Edited on 18/11/2017 21:16.

That only gets you useless info like IP and what page you were on
JS in combination with that would get you a lot more juicy info

What's a trackpixel?
You can add custom block rule anyway

Tracking pixels are little 1x1 pixel images that allow you to keep track of how many users visit your website or see your advertisement.
Pretty sure google uses it as well.

This is fine, but it has nothing to do with bloat. Bloat isn't ``some functions have an unnecessary if branch'', bloat is ``your webbrowser implements its own GUI toolkit on top of your system's GUI toolkit'', as seen in https://freesoftwarefoundation.org/read/prog/1406427616. Bloat is a design failure.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a web browser using its own GUI toolkit.

Standards should be disregarded (since they have no more credibility since they approved html5 drm).
We need to resist the shittification of all things. And also replace google with a decentralized index. And nuke all social media sites somehow.

Your web browser should be perfectly capable of completely ignoring DRM just as easily as you can disable Javascript. Google is not a necessary part of the Internet, it's a service of convenience that makes use of automated scraping bots and novel indexing techniques. There's no reason why people can't go back to web rings and personally curated indexes. Social media sites are nothing. A firewall like umatrix can blacklist all connections to social media sites.

at least Cudder posts bits of asm here and there

this is just compiling something and calling it an accomplishment Edited on 05/02/2018 00:52.

Except that's literally what all /g/ projects are.

That's only the first step. There's much more work to do afterwards.

And?
I can also post code and say I'm working on a browser or a disassembler.

Here you go:
void main(void)
{
int a, b, c = b / 4; return 1;
}

Can I make threads about my progress now?
