    Mozilla has added special software co-authored by Meta and built for the advertising industry

    No thanks, I’ll pass

        I wish I could. Every time I hear about a React app, it’s some godforsaken ad choked nightmare of a “web 2.0” site that just makes the internet painful to use. I understand it may be possible to write a performant and usable GUI with it, but you never hear of such things

          Web 2.0 was the mid-2000s idea that every website and service would be accessible via an http api and that it would allow easy integration. It was ads that killed Web 2.0, as users accessing a site via its api rather than its ad-filled website wouldn’t see any of those ads.

            God I miss Web 2.0. The Fediverse is trying to bring that concept back, luckily.

          You’re literally using a website based on react technology right now. Lemmy is built on Inferno which is just an older version of React.

            No ads but horrible performance. How is it that a iPhone 15 Pro is too slow to run this web site reliably? Why can it not remember that I’m logged in, or worse, why does it sometimes remember I’m logged in, after deciding I’m not? Why does it use so much storage on my phone? Why does it sometimes get stuck trying to draw the Home Screen?

            I mean, it’s much better than Reddit was, and I try not to complain for the price, but it really seems like one of those things where it’s too ambitious and just doesn’t work as well for users. Maybe something simpler would be better

              Try out Voyager or one of the other iOS apps. I use it on an iPhone that’s older than yours (13 pro) and it’s always smooth and responsive.

              I had that problem when Lemmy was under constant DDoS attacks, almost a year ago.

              iPhone 15 Pro is too slow to run this web site reliably

              You have both upvotes and downvotes so I will assume you are not the only one with these problems. In my experience Reddit website either glitches itself or glitches Safari every now and then.

              Why does it sometimes get stuck trying to draw the Home Screen

              Sounds like iOS issue, not Lemmy.

        Programming languages isn’t adware made by a company that has horrible track records for respecting privacy. If you love Facebook so much, stay there and take your sealioning with you.

          This is not sealioning lmao

          You’re falling into the trap where anyone who disagrees with you has some sort of ulterior motive or grand scheme. I don’t need to remind you why that is not a good thing.

            I’d rather not use products made by companies that influence voters and led to a genocide. Sorry I have moral standard.

            “Hating on anything the Nazis did is stupid because they can build ok cars”

            Doing one ok thing doesn’t negate the fact that Meta is one of the most evil, unethical hellholes of a company. Anything they touch is absolutely rotten.

        Browsers are an unsustainable mess of reckless feature creep. At some point we may all transition from using websites at all.

            Away from the all-in-one solution browser to using apps for each discrete feature. Like using a video player already on the OS to play videos or using a Gemini capsule to navigate to text-only “sites”.
