Ok you’ve peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It’s almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

Great research! Thank you for at least looking into this, as I’ve been having this issue for months now. Just to add to your information, I’d probably rule out Ublock origin. Because it happens even when using Firefox on my Android, which doesn’t have any plugins installed. I’ve even tried using Brave on my Android and still get the same behavior. Refreshing fixes it and logs me in automatically (sometimes). Other times I have to actually log in again. Hope this helps!

This is great news! Weird that I’m subscribed on all of the earlier Firefox GitHub discussions and didn’t notice it. I wonder which version was the first to have Firefox support feature in it.

Ubuntu here as well! Sticking with just the LTS versions tho 😎

Ah ok. I use the acme.sh script. It’s a pretty neat tool. Glad you got it all working again!

I’ve had this same problem in the past with a couple of packages. What did you end up moving to?

That was the first post. I posted another one a few months back that I’ve since deleted, which is probably why you can’t see it.

I’m usually on mobile Brave browser on my Android. I’m always appearing to be logged out. But, sometimes, when I refresh, I’m suddenly automatically logged in. Other times I have to just login again.

Yup I realize its hard to to reproduce. Do you have a latest Android with mobile Brave browser you can test with?

Brought this same thing up in a post months ago and got quite a bit of downvotes and no help, so I never attempted to bring it up anymore lol. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Saving this thread now… Thank you

The workaround I’ve been using is to just refresh the page. That tends to work… Sometimes… 🫠

Oh wow, I didn’t know that! Is there any official statement? Search didn’t turn up anything. I guess I don’t necessarily need to know exactly how it went down, but I wanna be nosy. :D

Let’s goooooo… wait. am I late? 😆

You shouldn’t wait because it’s going to happen. I moved all of my projects off of Github and Gitlab, and now self-hosting my own gitea instance. It’s been great and never looked back!

We’re all always dissatisfied with something

I don’t think this is an anti-React post, like the other commenters are implying.

This issue would occur when attempting to search any webpage with the web browser’s builtin search feature before the content has a chance to load in. This happens if the page requires JavaScript to load, which is the case with React apps.

Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.

These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer.

How is it “safer” when contributing to the codebase or filing and discussing issues will now require creating an account and giving up personal information to one of the most privacy-invasive tech companies in the world? 😳

Oh neat! I didn’t know this existed. By any chance, do you know of any RSS readers that have implemented it?

Is there one for the other sites like bbc.com?

I love a friendly debate 😀:

The statement says How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?. You can definitely steal it if “you” aren’t the customer. And you can steal it from a “customer” even if the customer doesn’t own it and someone else does. And you can steal if even if you are the customer, because you aren’t the owner. The only time you can’t steal it is if you are the owner, because you own it.

The definition of “steal” you mention seems to be proving the point I’m making. Something can be stolen if the person stealing it isn’t the owner, which is the case in the first three examples I mentioned above.

The statement is an odd play on words and loaded with assumptions that are left up to the reader, which is why it’s super weird to use it to try to prove the point the author was trying to make.

if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing. How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?

By stealing it? You dont have to own something to steal it. Or maybe I’m reading that wrong. Lol it’s a very interesting take but I like the spirit of it… And it made me laugh. Cool 😎
