the most annoying thing about new laptops is how difficult is to find replacement batteries that can be trusted and work well. The battery situation is a downgrade compared to the previous pluggable ones.

Interesting how this site talks about the bad experience using google and while I scroll through it I'm shown more than 10 advertisements.

in the perfect world we would have a very high trust internet in which everyone follows the rules, checks robots.txt, rate limits, etc. But we don't live in such a world. Getting angry at these ai bots is useless. People should start c

that's a good point, in search we have google as a monopoly and since a big percentage of sites only want to be crawled by them it reinforces the monopoly. So a lot of people complain about bots not following robots.txt but if you foll

shouldn't QUIC be supported at the operating system level similar to TCP? that way it could get adopted much easily in different languages

in Argentina some people call facebook marketplace the "deep web", not sure if it has that reputation in other countries. Lots of stolen things being sold and also scams

They still have 62% pass rate in WPT so my guess is that there's still a lot to do to make it usable as a browser.

I'm using chrome on linux and noticed that this year cloudflare is very agressive in showing the "Verify you are a human" box. Now a lot of sites that use cloudflare show it and once you solve the challenge it shows it again

After using the AI chatbots for some time, I think that they are not so useful for non programmers other than for doing small tools, that may be difficult to modify and polish by a non programmer. But they still fail and have subtle errors

it may be that google is checking the referer header.

fully agree here, using a browser for everything is the dumb way. You just usually use it to circumvent the blocking and then reuse the cookies to call the endpoints directly.

thanks, it doesn't seem like it's the direction it's going at the moment. If you look at the robots.txt of many websites, they are actually banning AI bots from crawling the site. To me it seems more likely that each site wil

what do you think would be the use cases for this project? being lightweight is awesome but usually you need a real browser for most use cases. Testing sites and scraping for example. It may work for some scraping use cases but I think that

I wanted to try a diffent approach which is to use chromium's network stack directly instead of patching curl to impersonate it. In this case you're using the real thing so it's a bit easier to maintain when there are changes

They use different SSL libraries/configuration. Chrome uses BoringSSL and other libraries may use OpenSSL or some other library. Besides that the SSL library may be configured with different cipher suites and extensions. The solution t

It replicates the browser at the HTTP/SSL level, not TCP. From what I know this is good enough to bypass cloudflare's bot detection.

In case anyone is interested, I created something similar but for python(using chromium's network stack) https://github.com/lagenar/python-cronet I'm looking for help to create the build for windows.

It's mostly a piece of content marketing. The service he provides is mostly about respecting user's privacy. Reminds me a bit of Duckduckgo's strategy.

The example demo looks very slick! it looks like Zapier but a bit more low level. Also for anyone interested in running functions but not interested in handling the complexity of aws lambda I'd check Cloudflare workers https:/&#x

Users know their information is public and they have the option to make it private on Linkedin. If Linkedin is worried about the privacy of their users they should let them know about the risks of having a public profile.
