#browser

So I have a habit of running the latest versions of #ChromeCanary and #FirefoxNightly just because I don't want to fall behind on #SecurityUpdates, to test for #compatibility and other issues and to sstay ahead of any #vulnerabilities in my #browser because I store a lot of #passwords locally in my profiles among other information that I don't #sync online. Well, lately, every time the browser updates, I keep having to #SignIn to different services like #ChatGPT #Google for #GMail and #Microsoft #Outlook etc. Nothing changed in my #configuration and I didn't install any #extensions that I know of which would do this. Ever since #Windows #11 version #29550 came out, this has been a frequent occurrence. Coincidence?

Why I 🧡 the web. https://joha-app.pages.dev/ "A free #browser based drawing app where built-in presets let you create expressive shapes, textures, and compositions with a click or drag." https://leeseomin.pages.dev/blog/2026-03-06-joha-is-live-on-the-web/ #drawing

Some fairly big #Sunstone #browser feature implementations today. Bookmarks can be displayed at the 'sunstone://bookmarks/' uri. Clicking on the tag buttons for each bookmark card will bring up a page with all bookmarks that have that tag. There is also a search entry, which by default will search within the bookmark's name, alias, description, and url. This doesn't yet work from within a tag page, but that shouldn't take too much of a rafactor to implement. Because the search is implemented using the 'get' method, the search query is appended to the url. Technically, this could be added as a search engine the same way other search engines are added. I need to start writing some good documentation. I've learned a lot doing this. One thing I am not, and never claimed to be, is a web designer. But these features require creating web pages on the fly programatically, adding a custom scheme handler to WebKit, and even some css. No javascript so far. History is going to be implemented in much the same way, but with a lot more search parameters that can be set by the user. Some of the work done so far will support the history page nicely. The handler already breaks the query string down and stores key/value pairs in a hashmap to be passed to the function which generates the page. There's a fairly significant amount of code cleanup to be done around this last bit of hacking. For instance, originally I had a few different html templates for various uses, but I've knocked that down to one. I'll need to remove the orphans from the repository.

#Sunstone #Browser got a few nice quality of life improvements today.

• A slim progress bar at the top of the WebView to display loading progress
• Page zoom via keyboard shortcuts. Currently there is no user feedback to display the zoom level because I still need to decide where to fit that into the interface and how it should look.
• You can create bookmarks now via the bookmark editor, called up via the button just to the right of the address bar. Some limitations apply (more on that below).
• You can visit a bookmark just by typing its name or alias into the address bar. This is similar to the ‘quickmarks’ feature in Qutebrowser, except integrated right into the bookmarking system. It’s quite handy - I came here by opening the browser, hitting Ctrl/g to focus the address bar entry and typing ‘slp [Enter]’. That’s five keystrokes after opening the browser and no touching the mouse.

I had been playing around with a custom data structure for storing and quickly looking up bookmarks, but I’ve decided to go easy mode and just use an sqlite database. I’m considering doing the same for history so that I can store more context for history items, but I digress. Sunstone is going to organize your bookmarks via tags instead of folders, which should make it quick and easy to find old bookmarks by topic. The database has a table for Bookmarks and a table for Tags. The current limitation with the editor is that when you update an existing bookmark and change it’s tags, the tags table isn’t updated. I just need to get around to writing the logic to handle that properly. I also think it wise to state that the current bookmark schema may change.

Currently there is nowhere in the interface to display bookmarks. I’m planning on having two different views for that, one in the sidebar and one as a webpage with the sunstone://bookmarks/ uri. The plan is to also integrate bookmark names, url’s and aliases into completion for the address bar.

You may have heard that #mozilla introduced an #AI kill switch into #Firefox. If you would rather use a browser that is less interested in #LLM technologies, @Waterfox@mastodon.social has been your companion for over a decade. I had a chance to ask the founder and developer some questions about Waterfox's history, operations, and their take on AI.

Spending some time pondering site navigation for my new website. Must reflect: indie web values, high accessibility for all kinds of browsers & readers, simplicity and elegance. And not be a pig to code and maintain. #indieweb #browser #accessibility

Kagi's Orion browser delivers a modern WebKit browser as far back as Mojave and we do plan to enable High Sierra support as well. It's not easy, but we think there's value in doing this. #Kagi #Orion #Browser #macOS

Updates for my media downloader extension!

Hi all! I’m the developer of my FOSS extension for Firefox : Media Downloader Unleashed!! It’s been a while since I shared my progress about the developpment here but better late than never!

• You can still download m3u8 and mpd streams as offline video files!
• There is now an option to hide stream segments in the media list. In case you want to download the segments manually
• Multiple updates to make the extension and its downloads faster : By listening to what the server responds when requesting media and saving it, the extension does not need to replay the network request. If you play half a video on a website and start a download, it will only need to download the other half!
• There is support for multiple languages! Right now french and english are fully translated and german and portuguese are parially translated.
