popup today, its over
And we're so back
>>108820649How long until this gets used for reCaptcha Verification like they're doing for iOS and Android?I think their end-goal is to push apps on people so they can eventually break the open web for everyone that doesn't have one of their apps installed.
>>108820660wasn't full of malware?
>>108820669it would be firmware lever application
>>108820660you are comparing a 2005 implementation using native windows API Desktop library to a 2026 monstrocity:you are comparing a few kilobytes of RAM + 0.5% of CPU usage to a full blown Electron with a few Gigabytes of RAM + 10% of CPU usage + it autoupdates + it fetches 4 Gb of HDD space in the background for AI models .
>>108820672Don't think so
>>108820678Yes, probably some use of TPM and UEFI services but the Google app would be the mechanism to "verify".I think full end-to-end human attestation is their end goal eventually which will be terrible for privacy and terrible for an open web. Google is evil but it keeps the scrapers out so people will turn the other way.
>>108820649>try to use gmail>get pestered by popups telling me i might have insecure files, and that i need to pay them more to find out for sure>try to use apps on phone>interrupt me with tooltips and "welcome to the amazing new upgraded experience" introsjust fuck off. i don't need your new features. i'm trying to get shit done.
>>108820699ok, this is nice, but i can literally x-post my post from /int/ about Facebook right here and now: the tl dr is that there is no use of these modern websites - it is literally best to not use them. any website that uses that shit will be just normie tier at best and bot tier at worst even with end-to-end human attestation. it is a waste of time to even make a facebook account. same goes for all of the modern websites. literally only youtube stands and even it, can be replaced.
>>108820672Windows Vista? Nah, it just ran like shit out of the box.
>>108820649Did you?
>>108820982It wasn't even that bad. It didn't deserve its reputation. It was just a major leap forward in graphics and people's shit laptops and desktops hadn't caught up yet.
>>108820649Why haven't you switched to Kagi yet?
>>108820649I guess they are legally required to avoid the dark pattern of micrisoft>Get the app>Maybe later
>>108820660wtf why does it have so much sovl suddenly
>>108820669that's the 2030 satanic plan
>>108820660KEK
>>108820672>zoomer posting about things he doesn't understand
>>108820669never.highest setting recaptchas on desktop already gives you qr code for your phone to scan. allowing a desktop app would be less secure. bots can just install that desktop app.
>>108821480what is that?
>>108820649easylist, the most important adblock list, always said that self-promotions aren't ads.so allowing that popup thru even when you use ublock origin is not something that can easily be stopped. would need to usurp easylist.
