… and extensions won’t ease the pain.Browsers have evolved to become the central way we do pretty much anything: shopping, scheduling, invoicing, monitoring, calling, texting, reading, watching, listening, writing, sharing: you name it. Along the way, as billions of people were shifting to the browser as their main #work tool, it started to show some weaknesses.At Station, our sole & only focus is to ease our user’s workday. As part of that, we’re trying to identify the small defects in the browser that could help us refine our product.We quickly realised that one of the best way to identify potential improvements in modern #browsers is by looking at their most popular extensions. After all, if so many people are proactively choosing to add a third party component to their main work tool, (...)

The New Internet Starts with Brave Browser

Additional #privacy, awesome features, and a sleek interface that feels familiar to #chrome users.Disclaimer: if this article does convince you to try out Brave, you can download it through my link, and it helps support me as well. All links to Brave Browser downloads in this article are connected to me.I got interested in Brave initially because of the #cryptocurrency aspect of the browser — I had been exploring different applications available today that leverage cryptocurrency. After playing with it for five minutes, though, I discovered that I found a great alternative to Chrome. The best way I know how to describe Brave is that it’s Chrome on steroids. The user experience of Brave mimics Chrome in every way — you can even install Chrome extensions on it. But it takes a step beyond the (...)
The #microsoft Edge Browser Edges Into the Bug Territory

The Microsoft Edge Browser Edges Into the Bug TerritoryA security researcher working at Google recently discovered a high-severity vulnerability on the Microsoft Edge web browser. The flaw could allow hackers to access the victim’s sensitive information without their knowledge.Although the security loophole has been patched, it points to the need of always keeping your programs up-to-date and avoid visiting malicious websites.How the bug was discoveredJake Archibald, a developer who works at Google, exposed this bug accidently and named it “Wavethrough.” It is so-named because the browser security bug involves playing a wave audio, which an attacker could compromise to steal sensitive users’ data.Archibald discovered the bug a few months ago and has since published the details on his blog (...)

A Friendly Reminder on Safe Web Browsing

Over the course of the past month, #facebook users around the world have been panicking in response to the news that the online social media and networking service has been collecting call history and SMS data from Android users. Many have even made the radical decision to leave the platform all together. While the latest incident seems to have only effected Android users, it served as a radical reminder that our information on the internet is not as secure as we’d like to believe.If you, like many others, aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to the popular social network, this is still a great opportunity to reevaluate the way you engage and share your data with the online community.

Refined #github: GitHub’s “Edge” Version

Refined GitHub is a browser extension that improves the GitHub experience with tons of user experience improvements. It adds fixes to annoyances that you didn’t even know you had, and once you learn about this extension, you won’t want to go back.A few months ago, I started using the extension and it is badass. Started by the respected developer, @sindresorhus, this extension fixes tons of the small annoyances we have with GitHub. The improvements are executed so well that the company has started to follow suit and implement some of them, too!Because of this, the extension makes you feel like you’re using GitHub Edge™. It’s the same GitHub you know and love, but with a better experience. ⚡For me, the extension has performed perfectly and it keeps improving all the time. I’m pretty jazzed (...)

#microsoft Edges closer to forcing users to use just one browser. Theirs.
▻https://hackernoon.com/microsoft-edges-closer-to-forcing-users-to-use-just-one-browser-theirs-7
As a fledgling web developer back at the turn of the century, I worked at a major telecoms company in London. The machine I used in the year 2001 was an 800 Mhz Pentium, running Windows 95, and the browser war back then was between Internet Explorer, and Netscape Navigator. Even then the browser of choice for web developers, and many casual users, was Netscape. For me the reason was that the first web browser I had ever used was X-Mosaic on a Sun SPARCstation, and given that Marc Andreessen had then moved on from Mosaic to Netscape, I had a certain degree of customer loyalty. More importantly, Netscape just…worked better. For me, and for many others, Netscape beat IE into a distant second.However, Microsoft woke up to the fact that the Internet might just be an interesting technological (...)
Using #CSS #Grid: Supporting Browsers Without Grid
▻https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2017/11/css-grid-supporting-browsers-without-grid
When using any new CSS, the question of browser support has to be addressed. This is even more of a consideration when new CSS is used for layout as with Flexbox and CSS Grid, rather than things we might consider an enhancement.
In this article, I explore approaches to dealing with #browser_support today. What are the practical things we can do to allow us to use new CSS now and still give a great experience to the browsers that don’t support it?
Inside Mozilla : Firefox fights back
▻https://www.cnet.com/special-reports/mozilla-firefox-fights-back-against-google-chrome
“This transition is very painful for extension developers, and many existing extensions won’t take this hurdle,” says Wladimir Palant, a developer with Firefox’s most-used extension, AdBlock Plus. Programmers had to start working with Firefox’s replacement before it was mature enough to use, he says. Google’s Hangouts extension is another casualty.
Change is hard but necessary, Beard argues. “If you try to make everyone happy, you’re not making anyone happy,” he says. “Large organizations with hundreds of millions of users get defensive and try to keep everybody happy. Ultimately, you end up with a mediocre product and experience.”
En route pour une nouvelle guerre des navigateurs ?
Firefox 57 sera un vrai carnage pour les extensions existantes.

On peut considérer que que Google Chrome n’est pas un brouteur web classique mais ressemble au noyau d’un système d’exploitation développé afin de renforcer la domination du géant du web. Est-ce inquiétant ?
Chrome hat Firefox verdrängt und den Browser-Krieg gewonnen – dieser Ansicht ist Andreas Gal, ehemaliger Technikchef von Mozilla. Er kritisiert Googles aggressives Marketing, unter dem Firefox zu leiden hat.

Browserkrieg – SELFHTML-Wiki
▻https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/Browserkrieg#Marktdominanz_mobiler_-webkit-Browser
Marktdominanz mobiler -webkit-Browser
Ein weiteres Problemfeld stellt die Marktdominanz von auf WebKit basierenden Mobil-Browsern dar:
Mit Apple Safari und Google Chrome existieren zwei auf WebKit basierende Browser, die zusammen einen Großteil des Marktes für Smartphone-Browser beherrschen. Viele Webdesigner testen daher ihre Projekte nur mit diesen oder anderen, ebenfalls WebKit-basierten Browsern. Das hat zur Folge, dass eventuell auftretende Probleme mit anderen Browsern wie beispielsweise den mobilen Versionen von Firefox und Internet Explorer nicht behoben werden und einige Seiten für Nutzer dieser Browser „kaputt“ aussehen.
Microsoft kapitulierte vor diesem Quasi-Standard und so soll im Windows Phone 8.1 der User-Agent ein iPhone vorspiegeln, damit für iOS und Android optimierte Seiten auch auf mobilen Windows-Geräten dargestellt werden können. Dies ist nötig, da viele Programmierer sich alleine auf User-Agent-Abfragen anstelle einer feature detection verließen.
