Not sure whether to sage for shit thread or age for on-topic, so I'll just *ge.
>>6 This is a myth, as you can easily see if you install something like uMatrix and block all JS and third-party requests. Most of the good web stays usable. Occasionally, you have to unblock some CSS here and there but that's it. Blocking cookies kills way more websites for the most ridiculous of reasons. If you think the web consists mostly of Web 7.0 shit, you need to stop visiting garbage sites.
Browsers such as the tor browser have JS disabled for a reason.
When did this happen? Last time I checked (about three years ago?) they had JS enabled by default and re(!)configured NoScript to blacklisting mode. All the while hacking on ``privacy improvements'' like changing the JS runtime to return a random timezone to prevent timezone tracking. Because yes, obviously that is the problem, not that you're randomly executing code from the Internet over a random proxy.

Cookies are the only way you can have good session management

>>45 Cookies are a shitty hack on top of a stateless protocol. But what I meant is that many sites require cookies even though they shouldn't need to manage much of anything.
I tried qutebrowser. It's nice and seems to use much less memory than firefox. Unfortunately there is no script/cookie manager available and so it's basically worthless.

>>48 RAM is cheap. Who cares? Seriously, are you on a toaster from the 90s? You can easily get a desktop with 32GB of RAM or a laptop with 16GB of RAM. Cheap laptops come with 8GB. That's enough that you don't have to worry about how much RAM your browser uses. Oh no, it uses a couple gigs of RAM! So what? That's what it's there for.

>>50 Yeah, browsers are to blame. Not coal, fossil fuels, over-consumption, overpopulation, driving everywhere instead of having denser urban planning, heating in the winter, AC in the summer, lights on 24/7, etc.
Your laptop's web browser will single-handedly save the world.

>>51 There are billions of mobile/laptop/tablet devices which are mostly used for online content. They use battery power. By reduced drain on batteries, batteries last longer. Longer lasting batteries mean less batteries manufactured, less pollution and less waste. So leaner browsers do help.
by the time cudder's x86 asm browser is written, we will have stopped using x86

Thanks for bumping this.
I have not forgotten, my anger at the mainstream browser(s) continues to grow, and every time it does, I am motivated to work on the browser a little more.
CSS parsing and layout is what I'm currently focusing on.
Unfortunately I am still very busy with other things, so progress has been slow as usual.
Fuck Google, fuck Mozilla, fuck the centralisation corporatocracy.
>>68 if you wrote the browser in rust, the compiler would reject your're are code, you'd become an SJW and C*dder would still be all talk and no action
