APPLE SAFARI WEB BACK RISK NEW UPDATE

APPLE SAFARI WEB BACK RISK NEW UPDATE

That in turn forces the churn that sustains the update rate - a vicious positive feedback loop that serves nobody except the technocrats. but what's worse is web devs immediately latching onto the new 'features', making older browser unable to render their productions. And before you say Libre Office, I know there are alternatives, but I have to use Exchange 365, and our IT department have disabled access from all non-Microsoft apps, so I can't even use the built in clients on my iPhone any more :(.Ībsolutely agree.

Yet it is using extra resources in doing so. I don't need Outlook to analyse my work patterns and suggest when I should break for lunch, and I don't need it to analyse my grammar. I need Outlook to access my email and manage my work calendar. Remove unnecessary bloat, such as features that aren't necessary for the core function of the suite or application. If the hardware we have is too slow, then optimise the code. We don't need our browsers to become almost replacements for our operating systems (as they seem to be doing), and start to move back to using locally stored applications. I think we need to stop pretending it's good to bung everything on the web. As you might on a train journey for instance. It also means they won't work if you lose your connection. I mention this, because Web Apps tend to store their data in the cloud, and even where they don't, they probably have to send locally stored data to a server somewhere so they can process it.

Even if you have it written in a contract that Microsoft et al don't have access to the data you store on their servers, all that says is you have some legal recourse if they do access it, which is essentially shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted. You also don't know what access others have to the data you store on the cloud, which has massive privacy implications. That access can be (and probably is) logged and profiled. I think we need to take a step back from shoving everything on the browser, and work out what a browser needs to do, particularly the privacy, and reliability implications.Įverything you do on a browser will require server access at some point. Re: new 'features' and 'improved experiences' nobody asked for.
