It is curated by humans and only humans, so I don’t see the relation to LLMs… Only problem is that it has a smaller userbase or arguments compared to actual comparison articles.

Well, if they steal ideas but not the implementation, why would they have to mention them? Either way I’d say upstreaming GrapheneOS features is a win-win for all, including GrapheneOS itself.

And is OpenAI somehow related to crypto?

Man, that original three tab layout is exactly what I want.

What does Brave have to do with it? It doesn’t even have ChatGPT’s models as an option.

…but it has a built-in option to do so nowadays. So while you won’t get in industry-wide change, you can still help your friends and relatives. Nowadays, any drawbacks are fairly small anyway, mostly to do with few broken site logins or not being able to use external comment forms (add an exception if you’d like).

Privacy Sandbox is the thing that tracks you on-device and sends the generic info to advertisers, something like “this user visits hotel websites”.

I don’t disagree, it’s more of a matter of least evil.

But Chrome is already just Chromium with some binary blobs. Chromium itself even has sync and Google services at this point.

Besides, what would that change in regards to who develops it?

Of those companies, Apple seems like the best option due to their business goals (privacy). Though I am not fully sure why they’d want to as they already have a browser with a relative market share dominance and ecosystem.

Realistically, it would make sense to see Microsoft try again, it would instantly get 70% of the world to use “Edge”, so their goals are met. Chrome already has the modern web standards, so it might just mean slower progression of the web in the future.

As long as they are doing the browser work independently from Google (meaning no Google integration), doesn’t sound like a bad thing. Kind of like they already present their work (Chromium and Chrome)

Actually, that workaround is no longer required. Which doesn’t invalidate my point though.

Well, it was about compatibility years ago, too. But when they did the Fenix project, I remember initially only about 5 extensions were available to install, even if they could’ve allowed more with the APIs available back then. Then it took years again to get access to the full store of extensions.

Edit: also, where did themes go? It isn’t that hard to overlay a horizontal image on the toolbar like before.

And yet they introduced nonsense restrictions on them after overhauling the interface few years ago.

It is still possible to make 90% of that screen harder and keep only the crease as the weak point.

They used to be? When?

Play Store already does a weird thing to some niche apps where you have to have to click twice on an app to even see full details like screenshots. For example, look up the app “SecondScreen”.

Widget stacks and per-screen customization as well.

Another article blurring the lines of a skin and a launcher. I don’t care what your default launcher does, not gonna use it anyway. System-wide features, on the other hand…

What I don’t understand is do any of the OEMs giving this feature also combine it with passthrough power? So besides not charging the phone at 80%, it would keep it working using the wire instead of the battery.
