Every bank in my country
Until web standard can agree to have device bound session, it won’t happen. Cookie stealer malware is just too dangerous to perform financial transaction. So maybe for read only stuff it is fine
Then you get the app and it’s just a browser and a skin for there website.
+ 80 trackers.
But with enhanced tracking, as a little treat
Got an amber alert the other day. It linked to twitter to see more info including pics of the victim. I don’t have an account and couldn’t view it on mobile without jumping through a bunch of hoops. Wonder how much less effective it makes those alerts that you have to have an acct to see who was fucking kidnapped.
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.
I miss when UI was designed to streamline the user experience. Nowadays it makes it so hostile that you want their app in order to be able to interact with the service.
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.
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.
It gives them more access, makes them better able to invade your privacy and snoop around in your phone.
Plus, they want their icon on your phone’s home screen so you’ll remember them again next time.
Just today, my health insurance told me i had to install their app to schedule a specialist visit. After installing it and logging in, I tapped the “specialists” button, and it proceeded to switch out of the app to my browser and connect to their mobile website.
ETA: as a cherry on top, these instructions were on their website, which I was looking at on my desktop. I had to switch to my phone first.
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?

Hello, yes I am just a desktop user doing um desktop things. Can’t install apps sorry
And I’m the final boss: a desktop Linux user with noscript.
Maybe if we add some AI? All AI? AI in AI? Hold on, stay! C’mon! We’re only going to try to figure out how much you make so we can steal your money by giving you some shit products in return! And AI will take your job…hey come back! C’mon!
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!
Okay, I know I know that 99.9% of humans own a mobile phone, and the percentage that own a computer is much lower, but I’ve always hated how websites (first noticed with Google Search and Facebook) stopped caring about rendering for desktops and just utilised 0.3% of the screen width. Half the internet is a skinny portrait mode on a landscape screen and has been for ages
So the 30 characters wide texts are a thing? And here i always thought that was a issue with one of my userstyles.
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?
If you don’t want to change the window size for whatever reason, I find that reader mode (F9) solves this problem pretty well.
On desktop you can change window sizes to what you want. Don’t like wide text? Use part of the screen. But the inverse is not true: if a site decides to stay skinny you can’t make it wide if that’s what you prefer.
This is why I miss square screens. And I miss proper UI/UX design which makes good use of screen real estate.
Omg, same, so same. But putting anything I need to read (like… anything in a browser usually) in a smaller window is fine. Librewolf letterboxing kinda does it for me.
Usually I just stop using their website too. Because fuck them.
Because I know they’re FUCKING UP TO SOMETHING
