Hi! Developers, pls. bear with me. I'll try and ask a user question. *************************************************************** And freely skip reading this if you are busy. Thanks for the fine program you are working on!
I have become fully aware of why such huge work is thrown in, and programming skills hired in the few big browser businesses that users have at their convenience in exchange for privacy surrendered. But my question is not about that, but is practical. By a poor user fighting for his privacy and freedom on the web. I use Dillo, and I use Lynx. ( I can only now, after replacing the default /etc/lynx.lss with this one: http://dg77.net/tekno/lynx/dg77.lss use Lynx with ease. It is a scietifically determined fact that white foreground on black background is straining viewers eyes. See, e.g.: http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/551/white-text-on-black-background and have mercy on users like me, who can't easily find time to tweak all the programs that need tweaking because of torturous defaults. If this goes only to Gentoo devs in charge of Lynx in Gentoo, I hope they are reading. ) I know that I can't log in to http://github.com/miroR with Dillo. (I have discussed that with Dillo developers on the dillo-dev list, no solution seems imminent.) But I can log into Github with Lynx, and thanks for that! Every, little or big task, that releaves me from using any of the big browsers, makes me try and spread the word about free browsers all the more! But I was wondering if there is even a remote possibility to use Lynx, or Dillo or some of the privacy friendly and not user-data-harvesting browser like also Mozilla Firefox has become, really sorry to have to say that, to... [To use Lynx/other free browser] to log into http://www.vimeo.com and also to upload to http://www.vimeo.com ? (Just to note: I'm still waiting for their reply to that question, as I have, last night, asked Vimeo that question.) There. That is my main question. A minor, more vague question, follows. And wouldn't it be great if there be a central place somewhere on the internet, where users like me could find information on how to use non-harvesting browsers? I am afraid that, e.g., currently there is no free browser (free meaning non-harvesting, and with no intentional hooks for big spying subjects, if I am allowed to be blunt) which a user like me could use for so many places where, say your bank's web for internet banking, or Cpanel at the hosting service for your website, they support only, only Javascript enabled big browsers, else you can't do internet banking, or you can't log in into their service, or some other such task. They have taken away the internet from us in that way, and even if you don't reply to me, I thank you again for the fine Lynx program, and I hope you will become only stronger in the future, as you are of those forces that bring us back our freedom.
