You don't understand. Phone screens are a lot smaller so you need less code to run them.

Have you even considered how greedy you are wanting to use up so many tokens?

/s

Because I know they're FUCKING UP TO SOMETHING

But with enhanced tracking, as a little treat

+ 80 trackers.

This app requires location permission... Precise location... And wireless metadata And phone/SMS And contacts And camera

It's skinny so that they can stuff the sides full of ads.

I have trouble reading across wide screens, though, is that just me?

Fucking Instagram and their Web interface. Try to get the maximum video size on a horizontal screen. Bonus points when a horizontal video is uploaded to their vertical frame optimised viewer.

I did the math before: it was literally less than 1% of my screen. There's no full screen feature.

Not like it cost them even a measurable amount of money to have one developed. They keep it awful intentionally to get you to install the app. Fuck companies like that.

Pretty sure narrow text width has been a thing for ages, even before smartphones. Unless you mean a newer, narrower style I guess. It's easier to read when you can see both ends of a line at the same time so even letters are written on portrait paper.

And I'm not a web developer, but if I had to guess styling a page to limit the text width on a wide screen probably takes more effort, not less.

And they do this because apps are the wild west of stealing user info when compared to internet

But the app UX is even worse. It just gives you access to more functionality.

I want a new browser than completely "reskins" the most important websites. There is Reader View on firefox which I wish would be a bit more expanded and flexible. And maybe something like web archive but it only P2P shares the simplified reader view of articles and pages. For that simpler AI models could be very useful.

If there was just one country on earth that would say no to intellectual property laws. You could put a central repository server there and mirror most of the internet and make it accessible again. I'd gladly pay a few bucks a month for that. Maybe combine it with a VPN.

The amount of news sites where they post Twitter comments on there stories but you need a sign in to view. What's the point of a public announcement service if you can't find out without handing a company your information.

And their apps refuse to run on custom ROMs or an unlocked bootloader.

Banks are the one thing that should use apps. Browsers have too many security issues.

The bigger issue is them using the google integrity bullshit, that's not necessary.

And I'm the final boss: a desktop Linux user with noscript.

I used to even skip those , but I broke two phones so the third I got as a gift but its a weak one with only 1GB of Ram and a weak processor most apps run smoother than any web app so I returned to apps its a Nokia 1.3 , and good luck for any one monitoring me , it hangs randomly so I need to take the battery out , its only good feature is that its the best phone I had when it comes to network receiving

Even better is when it just opens the homepage of the app instead of a direct link to what was given.

Some people are starting to get worn out by AI being pushed so aggressively and we need a way to make them interested again, so, hear me out:

AI powered AI

No more prompt engineering, you can just ask an AI to prompt an AI in an Agentic™ way and the AI will summarize the responses from the AI!

You can swap www. For old. And it usually works. For now

I haven't visited them on mobile as of late, but you could always click 'continue' on the chrome button and continue? unless this is an actual ad that ad blockers block

Same, got shadow ban for no reason
