-
@philnelson @jwz @cstross It only appears if they detect that the page is some other language and depending on privacy settings they may be unwilling to attempt that
@philnelson @jwz @cstross @malwareminigun there's metadata a page author can set in there that'd make that a non-issue. This can be set per element (you can be lazy and set it for the whole page, or individual paragraphs, divs, or spans and so on)

There have been exactly two innovations in web browsers in the last 16 years:
1. "Show Reader Automatically" in 2010;
2. "Hide Distracting Items" in 2024.Everything else has either been a waste of goddamned time, or actively malicious. Mostly the latter.
@jwz Love that the example is the Macalope! I feel like there used to be more semi-mainstream curmudgeonly tech critics, but he’s almost the last ungulate standing.
