BROWSER WARS REVISITED

... AGAIN

It's a bad sign when go to look at your own

website and things don't work properly.

Recently it was embedded videos.

Brave browser usually played them

(but not always)

Comodo dragon, hardly ever.

They worked in firefox and edge,

but I gave up on browsers like those

many years ago,

when they started

showing me adverts for obscure

punk bands I'd been looking at 5 days earlier

I want no part of the corporate internet.

I'm not interested in social media

and Ai can go to hell.

I want a browser that can help me

search little known archives

and independent sites like this.

I've been trying out the LibreWolf browser

this week and all seems to be going well.

It plays embedded videos.

Okay ... belt and braces ...

I finally got down to learning some new programs and updating the site.

Older pages were made with a web editor I got free with a magazine back in 2005.

(True punk DIY stylee) I always knew this

cultural scrapbook probably looked a bit

odd in various other devices,

but call me warped ...

I always got a bit of a kick out of seeing alternative indie folks from yesteryear

getting online with ugly sites with

primary coloured texts and

graphics from the 1990s.

They were the same as me -

do it cheap, but do it.

Publish and be damned.

Check out the LibreWolf browser below

P.s: Updating the older pages would be

an act of total madness.

So I'll probably do it -

slowly, starting with the videos first ...
