Microsoft Edge Experimenting with a Super Duper Secure Mode

Re:Microsoft Edge Experimenting with a Super Duper Secure Mode by rakoo on Thursday August 05, 2021 @06:41AM (#28071941)

I'm using uBlock Origin more or less in nightmare mode (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-nightm...): all 3rd party stuff blocked, inline and 1st party scripts blocked. Some websites work out of the box and I love them, but too many still want me to enable 1st party scripts and 3rd party resources to at least display correctly even though most of the content I'm consuming is text.

This is also one of the reason I'm hoping more people write in Gemini, because it's just text

It definitely works, it's just a very few small features that need javascript. The most important for me is the ability to collapse sub-threads, which is mandatory when reading threads with lots of comments.

HackerNews would not really work in gemeni though as there are too strict limitation on how long urls can be and the only way to send data is by appending it to the url.

I agree, but HN isn't really a "website", it's closer to an application: you don't really have documents. The ideal interface to have HN functionality is Usenet, or maybe mailing lists: you have many people exchanging messages about a specific subjects, quoting and replying to each other, all in very hierarchichal threads. It's only because HTTP is so widespread that HN uses that, but if it weren't I would bet we wouldn't even be talking about javascript.
