Trying to optimise http://floppy.museum for (even) older browsers. Some of the issues I'm trying to solve include utf8-to-latin1 translation (the original HTML has some silly double- and triple-byte characters), and variations of JPEG that simply aren't understood.

Turns out Netscape 2.02 is too easy, so in this picture is IBM WebExplorer v1.1h running on OS/2 Warp Connect. Using the magic "work area" feature of folders (mark a folder as a work area to have the OS manage objects within it as a kind of unit), I can open several windows at once. True multi-process browsing 😉

OS/2 Warp Connect with four browser windows, a text mode editor editing config.sys, the parent "work area" folder and the launch pad.

@emu : given a domain name (*) for a website with an APPARENT owner, DV certs do not provide ANY security because users have no reasonable way to determine whether said domain name DOES NOT belong to the apparent owner.

Phishing is wreaking havoc on the internet. There are lots of people like you who DO NOT provide ANY solutions.

(*) In some message (email, SMS, chatapp, DM, ...), found by Googling, out of a QR-code, in a paper letter or on social media.

A DV cert may be fine for your home NAS, but not for your bank. Unfortunately big tech does not want users to see the difference between a fake and a real bank (or any other critical website) in their browsers.

🇮🇳 India launches competition to build a homegrown web browser
—@theregister

｢ An indigenous browser could be more troublesome for market leaders Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Mozilla. India's colossal population, and its ardor for local products, could propel a local browser to a user base in the hundreds of millions – perhaps even a billion ｣

Browser-Native Translation and Language Detection APIs Coming Soon

hackers.pub/@hongminhee/2025/t

Hackers' Pub · Browser-Native Translation and Language Detection APIs Coming SoonJust reviewed the W3C draft for the Translator and Language Detector APIs. This is genuinely exciting development for web developers. The proposal would add native browser support for:Text translation between languagesLanguage detection of arbitrary textBoth with streaming capabilities<No more relying on third-party translation services or embedding external APIs for basic language operations. All processing happens locally in the browser. The API design is clean and straightforward:// Translation exampleconst translator = await Translator.create({ sourceLanguage: "en", targetLanguage: "fr"});const translatedText = await translator.translate("Hello world");// Language detection exampleconst detector = await LanguageDetector.create();const results = await detector.detect("Hello world");// Returns array of detected languages with confidence scores<This will be a game-changer for multilingual sites and applications. The browser handles downloading appropriate language models and manages usage quotas. The spec is still in draft form but shows promising progress toward standardizing these capabilities across browsers. Looking forward to seeing this implemented.
