  • I don’t understand why all these chrome derivatives and firefox don’t just band together and extend manifest v3 with some vendored standardised extension that addresses the limitations.

    Browsers do that for CSS and JavaScript features already. An extension could just check if the browser supports the “unlimited filters” option and use it if its available.

    I have never researched it but heard that the permissions of manifest v3 are much better for privacy.

    I am in favor of removing manifest v2 if the vendored extension becomes a reality.

    Browsers already have too much complexity, lines of code and feature creep.

    The biggest offenders for me are:

    • I struggle to navigate and make out alle the controls of the settings app. Somehow finding the settings visually is very difficult.
    • The new settings app is single instance. The control panel had lots of popup windows and you could open it multiple times which allowed parallel open settings windows.





  • So in German we have these weird symbols: äßöü one of them is even in my name. In my opinion they are not necessary and cause more trouble that they are worth.

    UTF 8 has alleviated some of the pain. However I still regularly find documents encoded in old character encodings and I have to manually fix all these accents.

    I also have one of them in my name. In the past in school a SYS-Admin entered my name with an ö instead of the alternate form oe. All was fine. I was about 13yo, so I had no idea about backups and didn’t care. I stored all my files on their NAS. One day they had drive failures and could recover all data except from students with accents in their name. I don’t know what shitty software they used but I am still annoyed at this.

    We also have das,dass which I always get wrong while writing texts.

    There are some good things. The time forms can be pretty fun to use.

    All in all German is a 6/10 for me could be better could be worse.
