"Some targeted ads aren’t just annoying — they can be predatory and harmful, using people’s online behavioral data to reach vulnerable consumers that meet specific parameters."
This is why everything we build at Kagi is ad-free, tracking-free, and privacy-respecting.

Imagine caring about #browser #performance & being mindful of data usage & then proceeding to ship all of your “styles” in the form of 1 MB of #Tailwind #CSS classes in the markup that TUI browser & screen readers will never need to use while also not having *any* semantic class names for behaved scrapers, filter lists, & userStyles.
I swear, friends don’t let friends use base Tailwind in this way.

I was browsing around and Seamonkey still exists, still releasing new versions? So cool. This is a continuation of the Mozilla Suite and Netscape Communicator before that, back when it was more common to have a software collection with web browser, email & news, html composer all in one.
Hnnngggg that old interface, those cute buttons and small panel grabbers

So I've been using my laptop with the wrong date for a while and #certificate errors meant I could only see #websites when the stars aligned.
This was the most productive I've been for a while.
So I decided to make this a #browser extension:

Minimal Linux OS runs in a 6MB PDF Document in Chrome.
A version of the Linux operating system can now be run inside a PDF opened by a Chromium-based browser. The developer [Ading2210] explains that Linux need a modified version of the TinyEMU RISC-V emulator.
![If you wish to try out the LinuxPDF, it requires a Chromium-based browser to work correctly (I checked, but it didn't work in Firefox on PC).
On the topic of speed and efficiency, [Ading2210] humbly admits that performance might be the largest problem with LinuxPDF. "The Linux kernel takes about 30-60 seconds to boot up within the PDF, which [is] over 100x slower than normal," notes the developer. With Chrome's current PDF engine having its Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler disabled, [Ading2210] sees no way of speeding up the code, for now.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/211/704/385/933/637/original/7142a6047423bdbc.jpeg "If you wish to try out the LinuxPDF, it requires a Chromium-based browser to work correctly (I checked, but it didn't work in Firefox on PC).

The TinyEMU RISC-V emulator runs in the PDF thanks to a technique where its code is compiled "using an old version of Emscripten that targets asm.js instead of WebAssembly." This is embedded and loads in the PDF, subsequently auto-running a minimal Linux kernel targeting that architecture.
In this implementation, once you agree to 'Start Emulator' in your browser, you will see the LinuxPDF UI load, and a welcome message in the Linux viewport, as you wait for the OS to boot.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/211/705/349/712/707/original/513838969c81eb99.png "[ImageSource: Ading2210]

Below the Linux viewport in the PDF is a soft keyboard created by an array of PDF buttons. However, it is likely quicker for everyone with a decent physical keyboard to input commands into the 'type here for keyboard inputs' field to the lower right of the keyboard UI area.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/211/706/326/556/776/original/9f7e2d1a8c32c083.png "[ImageSource: Ading2210]

Saturday tip for our Android users:
When you move the Tab and Address Bars to the bottom, the Navigation Bar disappears and you have more screen space. If you prefer to keep the Tab and Address Bars on top there’s still a way to hide the Navigation Bar.
To hide it:
Settings > Appearance & Theme > Disable “Show Navigation Bar”.
When hidden, the Tab Switcher button is moved to the Address Bar and other features are available from the main Vivaldi menu.
God fucking damn it! Just when I think I've found a new daily web #browser I find this issue with @zenbrowser

I really wish @librewolf would release a tarball that I can just
extract to $HOME/bin/ because I don't want or use flatpacks.

Oh ! Dans Firefox, ils ont ajouté l’option d’afficher les onglets en vertical. 
Mais pourquoi faire ?
Alors déjà, aujourd’hui, nos écrans sont beaucoup + larges que hauts, et la définition étant bien meilleure, on a souvent de l’espace perdu sur les côtés… Du coup, c’est pas idiot quand on y pense. 
Aussi, quand on commence à avoir pas mal d’onglets en haut, ils se réduisent et on n’a plus les titres. Avoir une liste d’onglets les uns sous les autres, de manière bien lisible, c’est pratique. Ça semble moins bordélique.
On peut réduire la barre pour n’avoir que les favicons, si on préfère, ça fait une interface minimaliste, puis on peut passer de l’un à l’autre à la volée d’un clic ou d’un raccourci, c’est agréable.
Les accès (à la souris) à l’historique et aux marques-pages sont plus fluides. On peut aussi mettre la barre à droite, et régler d’autres trucs… C’est assez sommaire mais c’est amené à évoluer !
Évidemment il faut prendre le temps de s’habituer car les gestes sont ancrés dans notre mémoire musculaire digitale. 
Au début c’est très perturbant. Je vous invite à tester un petit moment pour voir. Perso, j’aime bien !
Et comment faire ? Explications sur le site de Firefox ou bien, en résumé :
1. Afficher la sidebar dans les options de Firefox :
2. Clic-droit sur un icône de la sidebar, puis « Activer les onglets verticaux » :
