It is on by default in Windows… More likely people have routers with it disabled.

It’s all client side. It even mentions infected clients.

I’d guess its a solution similar to DASH that dynamically streams different content.

What does a privacy conscious version even look like?

Some things simply aren’t legal anymore like buying crypto without identification.

Webextensions get their own webprocess as well as running in the website. I don’t have a link but if you read their source they just pass a lot of data to their process to determine things (last i looked some years ago).

There is a trade off of executing more things on the site vs transferring a lot of data. Either way it’s a heavy extension.

Dark reader is one of the heaviest extensions you use, lots of dom modifications. It also passes around far too much data between processes.

My only concern would be the systems that my code runs on top of won’t be willing to share. It is one thing to demand it from me, another to demand it from Siemens. Then you add in very low level code for individual devices such as VFDs

It is about code they pay to create…

You are absolutely correct. This can help in a world where every app is well sandboxed (thus can be reliably identified and isolated).

Just by chance because Pandora is very conservative about API changes and it happens to use Android APIs still supported.

Realistically the threat we care about is others leak your password. So it doesn’t matter.

If you have a setup where your password vault is at risk then yes it’s a bad idea.

Neither Chromium nor Gecko have a stable public API. Companies are just willing to spend money rebasing every Chromium update.

The good news is no streaming service even supports UHD in browers (except Netflix on Edge?) because of DRM. So I don’t see the value.

That source looks better indeed.

Ars quotes nonsense like “bypasses the security” and “exploit the user”.

Those terms have meaning and they aren’t applicable here.

At the end though they do say things like

is able to hack your phone from the moment you install the app

Without any credible evidence.

The claim is they completely bypass all Android and iOS security is pretty unbelievable.

If so then the real discussion is how these zero day exploits are just sitting around.

EDIT: It seems the focus is on Android but all the information is nonsensical, like AI generated buzzword bingo.
