I didn’t mean to say Epiphany actually is invasive. Just that the engine a browser uses doesn’t tell anything about privacy at all.

A browser and its privacy is much more than the engine. You could take webkit and make the most spying browser ever out of it. Most of what Safari does for privacy resides outside the engine itself.

Ok looked it up: Steam switched to CEF in 2010 (announcement read „WebKit based“), CEF3 with Blink was considered stable and recommended in 2013. So they probably used a WebKit base for at least these three years. But, unless they still use

The engine is HTML. No more is needed to give me the information I want, though CSS and images are certainly nice. JS would be more like the infotainment system: Sometimes nice, sometimes annoying, sometimes dangerous.

You could just use Steam, afaik they’re still using WebKit and you probably have it installed anyway ;) Or another WebKit based browser (ok, not so many): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers#WebKit-ba...

To say it the other way round: Use HTML/CSS for information purposes (JS where needed, nice explanatory animations etc), get back to using real nice native code for applications, using the OSes capabilities to the fullest, providing an

You can export whole projects as one-file markdown (or HTML, RTF), worst case being having to go through every project, exporting and splitting the file up (by a script), or turn the agenda folder somewhere in ~/Library (contains bunch

An average lifespan of about for years is just huge, even if this probably is pushed a lot by Macs having a longer lifespan than phones.. On the other hand, my mother still uses the iPhone 4S I handed down to get than I got my 6.

Definitely Instapaper. I like the design better, pagination mode in the Pocket iOS app ist just plain buggy, and I already used Instapaper back before Pocket (formerly ReadItLater) even existed..

And still it has a UI like in the nineties. Thousands of buttons, adding more and more, without thinking about it, making it harder and harder with every version for new users to learn using it. Instead of adding more fonts by default, they

Which is, to my best knowledge, a relatively pure todo app, not really suitable for checklists, or am I wrong?

Could you elaborate on how you manage this with org-mode? Do you have to manually reset the lists every evening?
