As a web developer, I would happily support current chrome over literally any version of IE. It’s not even a contest.
The majority of standards are properly implemented in chrome, and it tends to be edge cases that are not. Whereas for IR you needed IE specific “hacks” to do a number of everyday things.
Did you use IE when it was still around? Edge is their “new” offering, because of how terrible their own engine was. Moving back to their own engine would be a step backwards.
You want another version of IE?
About two weeks ago, Backblaze sent out an email
Headlines are clickbait. Literally the first line in the article. What more can they do than send an email?
Roundabout to service a railway, not for trains.
Eh, I can see how that might work under EU law. So I suppose there’s a potential for it to be illegal in the EU then.
Though I do question the extent that could reach, since “left leaning lesbians looking for work only browser” could be the user agent if someone was so inclined. Admittedly though, that’s outside the scope of this argument.
Oh, browser extensions. And specifically on chromium browsers.
Yeah, that makes much more sense than “any installed software”. It also throws out their claim of this being illegal. Using a browser API endpoint to say “hey do you have this extension” isn’t illegal, at least in most countries.
Is this shitty behavior? Yes. Is this anywhere near what their clickbait title and honestly clickbait article claim? Not in the slightest.
I’m sorry, how exactly is a website searching my computer from within a locked down browser?
I don’t think we need any more capital K’s in politics…
