TBF having a quick response time to real-world fraud (as in, not because there is a bug in the code, but because users are lying to each other) is not an issue a developer would normally have to worry about. Seems like he simply got scapegoated on that one.

I think it is very bold of him to claim starting from zero would be slower. He has accrued so much hate that if he were to start one I can't see how it would turn out any different than truthsocial or if Biden started his own social media platform.

Although I do think it's doable if he somehow kept the fact that he is at the helm a trade secret as he gradually grew the userbase until reaching a certain critical mass and finally revealing that he's the owner.

That will only happen when people can't do the things they normally could anymore on the browser. I was/am expecting it to happen with manifest v3, as I understood it it would break userscripts and make adblocking a pain, so far it hasn't happened so I still haven't bothered switching off Chrome.

Assuming this gets implemented, users might start being unable to access certain websites or services because their identity is deemed "insufficient", which would move them to use a different browser that does not have this.

> Lots of networking equipment works over HTTP only, still.

MikroTik has supported https for a very very long time, though it comes disabled by default and even if it didn't it wouldn't work because it requires the user creating/importing a cert to use with it.

At least the cert manager is quite intricate and they have a video (assuming the device has a valid WAN IP) on how to set it up with letsencrypt.
