That would also look cool, aesthetically speaking

firstly, there's always some security and plenty of privacy mischief around focus.

Oh, how so?

i've actually played with this in the firefox debugger and it essentially appears feasible so really hope this feature comes oneday - or i finally get some time to look into making an addon for it

that's cool, yes a browser should stop using resources when you stop using it ( minimize it ), or using that particular tab by making it inactive, chromium based browsers behave like that if I'm not mistaken

that's a quite pessimistic stance, yes I do agree that web browsers are complexe and hard to maintain, but they can do more than viewing websites, you can play games, draw art, video chat, PDF viewing and editing, you can do a lot with just one app.. that's the beauty of Web browsers.. The problem is in the Ad business model..

saying: "no" sounds rude.. maybe something like "no, go touch grass" that'd be better

That's not a hard proof, people keep saying Intel ME and AMD PSP are potential backdoors ( key word: potential ) and this argument is good if we're arguing about: which is the best ISA, an Open ISA ( RiscV ) or closed ISA ( x86 )

I was asking for a general example, I know that Mediatek chips included a backdoor but I only found one article that talked about it .. In french..

Mobos : I think it's MSI ( I could be wrong ) that installed a piece of software through a Bios update, which showed they have privileged remote access capabilities ( I couldn't find that source, sorry )

Another example would be ASUS and Gigabyte Mobos, now the initial source says it came from the second hand resellers, but no one confirmed that.. which is scary... because that would mean it came straight from ASUS and/or Gigabyte

I was asking for incidents that you came across that could demonstrate the presence of firmware backdoors, saying having too many bugs is not a good argument, because all software has bugs.

First time I heard about it was from this youtube channe...called "all things secured" but I don't remember the video , he said police officers stopped him and plugged a USB C on his phone, after a few moments they let him go..

this article discuses the same situation but I'm sure you can find other sources

aren't they going to ask you to unlock it, or do as they do in China and run a quick scan using their special software?

THANK YOU 🤍, I can't upvote this enough.. It's awesome and sounds human.. now I can git rid of my Googled phone.. 🥳

Edit: after a test run, it doesn't seem to have a way to change the language, and installing a different apk with different language removes the old one.. 😔
