#Is safari or chrome e

[bigeyedchangelingchild]

Genuine question,

I have to use chrome for work, the website won’t even allow me to enter the work page if it’s not chrome, but not only is there the privacy issues but I find chrome makes my computer run much hotter than Firefox. Is there a way to trick my company website so I can try Firefox. I’m tired of my laptop sounding like a jet engine in meetings when I never had a problem with zoom or teams.

The paradox of choice screens

I'm coming to BURNING MAN! On TUESDAY (Aug 27) at 1PM, I'm giving a talk called "DISENSHITTIFY OR DIE!" at PALENQUE NORTE (7&E). On WEDNESDAY (Aug 28) at NOON, I'm doing a "Talking Caterpillar" Q&A at LIMINAL LABS (830&C).

It's official: the DOJ has won its case, and Google is a convicted monopolist. Over the next six months, we're gonna move into the "remedy" phase, where we figure out what the court is going to order Google to do to address its illegal monopoly power:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/08/07/revealed-preferences/#extinguish-v-improve

That's just the beginning, of course. Even if the court orders some big, muscular remedies, we can expect Google to appeal (they've already said they would) and that could drag out the case for years. But that can be a feature, not a bug: a years-long appeal will see Google on its very best behavior, with massive, attendant culture changes inside the company. A Google that's fighting for its life in the appeals court isn't going to be the kind of company that promotes a guy whose strategy for increasing revenue is to make Google Search deliberately worse, so that you will have to do more searches (and see more ads) to get the info you're seeking:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/24/naming-names/#prabhakar-raghavan

It's hard to overstate how much good stuff can emerge from a company that's mired itself in antitrust hell with extended appeals. In 1982, IBM wriggled off the antitrust hook after a 12-year fight that completely transformed the company's approach to business. After more than a decade of being micromanaged by lawyers who wanted to be sure that the company didn't screw up its appeal and anger antitrust enforcers, IBM's executives were totally transformed. When the company made its first PC, it decided to use commodity components (meaning anyone could build a similar PC by buying the same parts), and to buy its OS from an outside vendor called Micros-Soft (meaning competing PCs could use the same OS), and it turned a blind eye to the company that cloned the PC ROM, enabling companies like Dell, Compaq and Gateway to enter the market with "PC clones" that cost less and did more than the official IBM PC:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/08/ibm-pc-compatible-how-adversarial-interoperability-saved-pcs-monopolization

The big question, of course, is whether the court will order Google to break up, say, by selling off Android, its ad-tech stack, and Chrome. That's a question I'll address on another day. For today, I want to think about how to de-monopolize browsers, the key portal to the internet. The world has two extremely dominant browsers, Safari and Chrome, and each of them are owned by an operating system vendor that pre-installs their own browser on their devices and pre-selects them as the default.

Defaults matter. That's a huge part of Judge Mehta's finding in the Google case, where the court saw evidence from Google's own internal research suggesting that people rarely change defaults, meaning that whatever the gadget does out of the box it will likely do forever. This puts a lie to Google's longstanding defense of its monopoly power: "choice is just a click away." Sure, it's just a click away – a click, you're pretty sure no one is ever going to make.

This means that any remedy to Google's browser dominance is going to involve a lot of wrangling about defaults. That's not a new wrangle, either. For many years, regulators and tech companies have tinkered with "choice screens" that were nominally designed to encourage users to try out different browsers and brake the inertia of the big two browsers that came bundled with OSes.

These choice screens have a mixed record. Google's 2019 Android setup choice screen for the European Mobile Application Distribution Agreement somehow managed to result in the vast majority of users sticking with Chrome. Microsoft had a similar experience in 2010 with BrowserChoice.eu, its response to the EU's 2000s-era antitrust action:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrowserChoice.eu

Does this mean that choice screens don't work? Maybe. The idea of choice screens comes to us from the "choice architecture" world of "nudging," a technocratic pseudoscience that grew to prominence by offering the promise that regulators could make big changes without having to do any real regulating:

https://verfassungsblog.de/nudging-after-the-replication-crisis/

Nudge research is mired in the "replication crisis" (where foundational research findings turn out to be nonreplicable, due to bad research methodology, sloppy analysis, etc) and nudge researchers keep getting caught committing academic fraud:

https://www.ft.com/content/846cc7a5-12ee-4a44-830e-11ad00f224f9

When the first nudgers were caught committing fraud, more than a decade ago, they were assumed to be outliers in an otherwise honest and exciting field:

https://www.npr.org/2016/10/01/496093672/power-poses-co-author-i-do-not-believe-the-effects-are-real

Today, it's hard to find much to salvage from the field. To the extent the field is taken seriously today, it's often due to its critics repeating the claims of its boosters, a process Lee Vinsel calls "criti-hype":

https://sts-news.medium.com/youre-doing-it-wrong-notes-on-criticism-and-technology-hype-18b08b4307e5

For example, the term "dark patterns" lumps together really sneaky tactics with blunt acts of fraud. When you click an "opt out of cookies" button and get a screen that says "Success!" but which has a tiny little "confirm" button on it that you have to click to actually opt out, that's not a "dark pattern," it's just a scam:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/03/27/beware-of-the-leopard/#relentless

By ascribing widespread negative effects to subtle psychological manipulation ("dark patterns") rather than obvious and blatant fraud, we inadvertently elevate "nudging" to a real science, rather than a cult led by scammy fake scientists.

All this raises some empirical questions about choice screens: do they work (in the sense of getting people to break away from defaults), and if so, what's the best way to make them work?

This is an area with a pretty good literature, as it turns out, thanks in part due to some natural experiments, like when Russia forced Google to offer choice screens for Android in 2017, but didn't let Google design that screen. The Russian policy produced a significant switch away from Google's own apps to Russian versions, primarily made by Yandex:

https://cepr.org/publications/dp17779

In 2023, Mozilla Research published a detailed study in which 12,000 people from Germany, Spain and Poland set up simulated mobile and desktop devices with different kinds of choice screens, a project spurred on by the EU's Digital Markets Act, which is going to mandate choice screens starting this year:

https://research.mozilla.org/browser-competition/choicescreen/

I'm spending this week reviewing choice screen literature, and I've just read the Mozilla paper, which I found very interesting, albeit limited. The biggest limitation is that the researchers are getting users to simulate setting up a new device and then asking them how satisfied they are with the experience. That's certainly a question worth researching, but a far more important question is "How do users feel about the setup choices they made later, after living with them on the devices they use every day?" Unfortunately, that's a much more expensive and difficult question to answer, and beyond the scope of this paper.

With that limitation in mind, I'm going to break down the paper's findings here and draw some conclusions about what we should be looking for in any kind of choice screen remedy that comes out of the DOJ antitrust victory over Google.

The first thing note is that people report liking choice screens. When users get to choose their browsers, they expect to be happy with that choice; by contrast, users are skeptical that they'll like the default browser the vendor chose for them. Users don't consider choice screens to be burdensome, and adding a choice screen doesn't appreciably increase setup time.

There are some nuances to this. Users like choice screens during device setup but they don't like choice screens that pop up the first time they use a browser. That makes total sense: "choosing a browser" is colorably part of the "setting up your gadget" task. By contrast, the first time you open a browser on a new device, it's probably to get something else done (e.g. look up how to install a piece of software you used on your old device) and being interrupted with a choice screen at that moment is an unwelcome interruption. This is the psychology behind those obnoxious cookie-consent pop-ups that website bombard you with when you first visit them: you've clicked to that website because you need something it has, and being stuck with a privacy opt-out screen at that moment is predictably frustrating (which is why companies do it, and also why the DMA is going to punish companies that do).

The researchers experimented with different kinds of choice screens, varying the number of browsers on offer and the amount of information given on each. Again, users report that they prefer more choices and more information, and indeed, more choice and more info is correlated with choosing indie, non-default browsers, but this effect size is small (<10%), and no matter what kind of choice screen users get, most of them come away from the experience without absorbing any knowledge about indie browsers.

The order in which browsers are presented has a much larger effect than how many browsers or how much detail is present. People say they want lots of choices, but they usually choose one of the first four options. That said, users who get choice screens say it changes which browser they'd choose as a default.

Some of these contradictions appear to stem from users' fuzziness on what "default browser" means. For an OS vendor, "default browser" is the browser that pops up when you click a link in an email or social media. For most users, "default browser" means "the browser pinned to my home screen."

Where does all this leave us? I think it cashes out to this: choice screens will probably make a appreciable, but not massive, difference in browser dominance. They're cheap to implement, have no major downsides, and are easy to monitor. Choice screens might be needed to address Chrome's dominance even if the court orders Google to break off Chrome and stand it up as a separate business (we don't want any browser monopolies, even if they're not owned by a search monopolist!). So yeah, we should probably make a lot of noise to the effect that the court should order a choice screen, as part of a remedy.

That choice screen should be presented during device setup, with the choices presented in random order – with this caveat: Chrome should never appear in the top four choices.

All of that would help address the browser duopoly, even if it doesn't solve it. I would love to see more market-share for Firefox, which is the browser I've used every day for more than a decade, on my laptop and my phone. Of course, Mozilla has a role to play here. The company says it's going to refocus on browser quality, at the expense of the various side-hustles it's tried, which have ranged from uninteresting to catastrophically flawed:

https://www.fastcompany.com/91167564/mozilla-wants-you-to-love-firefox-again

For example, there was the tool to automatically remove your information from scummy data brokers, that they outsourced to a scummy data-broker:

https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/22/24109116/mozilla-ends-onerep-data-removal-partnership

And there's the "Privacy Preserving Attribution" tracking system that helps advertisers target you with surveillance advertising (in a way that's less invasive than existing techniques). Mozilla rolled this into Firefox on an opt out basis, and made opting out absurdly complicated, suggesting that it knew that it was imposing something on its users that they wouldn't freely choose:

https://blog.privacyguides.org/2024/07/14/mozilla-disappoints-us-yet-again-2/

They've been committing these kinds of unforced errors for more than a decade, seeking some kind of balance between monopolistic web companies and its users' desire to have a browser that protects them from invasive and unfair practices:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/may/14/firefox-closed-source-drm-video-browser-cory-doctorow

These compromises represent the fallacy that Mozilla's future depends on keeping bullying entertainment companies and Big Tech happy, so it can go on serving its users. At the same time, these compromises have alienated Mozilla's core users, the technical people who were its fiercest evangelists. Those core users are the authority on technical questions for the normies in their life, and they know exactly how cursed it is for Moz to be making these awful compromises.

Moz has hemorrhaged users over the past decade, meaning they have even less leverage over the corporations demanding that they make more compromises. This sets up a doom loop: make a bad compromise, lose users, become more vulnerable to demands for even worse compromises. "This capitulation puts us in a great position to make a stand in some hypothetical future where we don't instantly capitulate again" is a pretty unconvincing proposition.

After the past decade's heartbreaks, seeing Moz under new leadership makes me cautiously hopeful. Like I say, I am dependent on Firefox and want an independent, principled browser vendor that sees their role as producing a "user agent" that is faithful to its users' interests above all else:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/05/07/treacherous-computing/#rewilding-the-internet

Of course, Moz depends on Google's payment for default search placement for 90% of its revenue. If Google can't pay for this in the future, the org is going to have to find another source of revenue. Perhaps that will be the EU, or foundations, or users. In any of these cases, the org will find it much easier to raise funds if it is standing up for its users – not compromising on their interests.

Hey Days!!!

This might sound like a stupid ask, but is the AO3 app legit? I feel like it would be easier if we can view everything in an app 😄

Hello! Not a stupid question. This topic has brought up a ton of discussion across fandoms, and so I’ll summarize what I’ve seen (mostly from following ao3commentoftheday’s tumblr blog).

There will likely never be an official ao3 app because

1. Too much manpower is required to create, maintain, and then continually do app updates, like whenever phones update to a new version. And since Ao3 is completely volunteer-driven, they probably don't have the manpower to spare on an app. They'd rather use their manpower to keep the regular website running for all of their millions of users.

2. Apple has policies about adult content, and fanfiction is full of spicy, problematic, and disturbing content. Ao3 would never delete or censor people's stories just to have an app available on Apple. Apple would never allow Ao3 as it is currently.

3. Businesses push for people to download their apps because they can force advertisements on their viewers, and viewers can't block the ads if they're on the app. So they can make money. Ao3 doesn't even have ads in the first place because everything is run through donations. There would be 0 gain for Ao3 and only a waste of manpower.

4. Ao3 is already reader-friendly on the phone from the website. They already put a lot of effort into the current website, so an app wouldn't add anything.

From what I've seen, here's a summary of reasons to NOT use an unofficial Ao3 app:

You would be giving your login information to a third party.

You have to pay to download some of these unofficial apps to cover the labor costs for the people who created the app.

Because fanfic writers upload their stories for free online, some feel that it's unfair profit for the app creators. I don't personally feel that way, though I understand that viewpoint. It's something to take into consideration.

Alternatives that other tumblr users have suggested instead of using an app:

Add a different mobile browser dedicated to opening fanfiction.

Download fics from Ao3 you enjoy as e-readers and adding them to the Kindle app so you can read them whenever you want. All Ao3 writers automatically consent to having their fics downloadable when they post on Ao3.

On Apple devices, apparently you can bookmark a Safari page onto your phone's home screen.

On Chrome, apparently you can do the same thing. Go to the three dots from the page you want to save, choose the Add to Home screen option, and then you'll have an icon shortcut.

Bookmark your main Ao3 search tags on your browser.

If you just want things to be "easier" and you're wishing for certain features, you can try out the publicly available site skins, like Reversi (for dark mode) or this one for dyslexia. Here are the Ao3 Instructions on using skins. Others use site skins to block certain users or hide fic stats (like views and kudos counts). That blog I follow Ao3cotd made a bunch of cute ones, like I use their pink one, or there's this pretty firefly one, art deco one, dark galaxy theme, pink and green frog theme, and this peach theme they made. They deleted their code for the pink one 😥, but since I'm using it, I still have the code on my account, so lmk if you want it.

That was probably a longer answer than you needed, but I hope it helps!

[wip]

re the new messaging: I use desktop and multiple tabs at once and switch back and forth- the new messaging does not know how to handle this. When I switch tabs the conversation will be stalled way back wherever it last was in THAT tab until I close and reopen, and when I close and reopen (as I must do to get my updated messages or to switch convos and back), even in the same tab, when I reopen it will show an unsent draft of the last message I sent (or occasionally one from somewhere further back) rather than an empty field to type in, until I select and delete it so I can enter a new message; it's pretty annoying. Also it covers the scroll bar of the dash view pop up so you have to close the messages to access it, would be great if you could make the various changes work with rather than against each other

Answer: Hey, @b-a-n-d-e-r!

Thanks for getting in touch with this, and let us address your question in parts.

1.

"and when I close and reopen (as I must do to get my updated messages or to switch convos and back), even in the same tab, when I reopen it will show an unsent draft of the last message I sent (or occasionally one from somewhere further back) rather than an empty field to type in"

This is intentional! The message window will cache type, but not send messages when you minimize and reopen a conversation window. This won’t sync within browser tabs, and mobile apps have the same behavior.

2.

"Also it covers the scroll bar of the dash view pop up so you have to close the messages to access it"

If we understand this question correctly, from what we have seen on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on Mac, the conversation window does not overlap with the browser’s vertical scrollbar. And it also does not overlap with the scroll-to-top button on the timeline. It is possible we have misunderstood your question and would invite you to clarify this one with us in case there is an issue.

3.

Finally, as for that shortcut and scroll-to-top button problem, we are already on this and planning to work on it as soon as we are able!

Thanks for your question, here. For any updates on the points raised, keep an eye here on WIP or over at @changes.

Best,

—Jasper and Maxime

On Personal InfoSec

Been awhile since I've had one of these posts but I figure with all that's going on in the world it's time to make another one of these posts and get some stuff out there for people. A lot of the information I'm going to go over you can find here:

So if you'd like to just click the link and ignore the rest of the post that's fine, I strongly recommend checking out the Privacy Guides.

Browsers:

There's a number to go with but for this post going forward I'm going to recommend Firefox. I know that the Privacy Guides lists Brave and Safari as possible options but Brave is Chrome based now and Safari has ties to Apple. Mullvad is also an option but that's for your more experienced users so I'll leave that up to them to work out.

Browser Extensions:

uBlock Origin: content blocker that blocks ads, trackers, and fingerprinting scripts. Notable for being the only ad blocker that still works on Youtube.

Privacy Badger: Content blocker that specifically blocks trackers and fingerprinting scripts. This one will catch things that uBlock doesn't catch but does not work for ads.

Facebook Container: "but I don't have facebook" you might say. Doesn't matter, Meta/Facebook still has trackers out there in EVERYTHING and this containerizes them off away from everything else.

Bitwarden: Password vaulting software, don't trust the password saving features of your browsers, this has multiple layers of security to prevent your passwords from being stolen.

ClearURLs: Allows you to copy and paste URL's without any trackers attached to them.

VPN:

Note: VPN software doesn't make you anonymous, no matter what your favorite youtuber tells you, but it does make it harder for your data to be tracked and it makes it less open for whatever network you're presently connected to.

Mozilla VPN: If you get the annual subscription it's ~$60/year and it comes with an extension that you can install into Firefox.

Proton VPN: Has easily the most amount of countries serviced, can take cash payments, and does offer port forwarding.

Email Provider:

Note: By now you've probably realized that Gmail, Outlook, and basically all of the major "free" e-mail service providers are scraping your e-mail data to use for ad data. There are more secure services that can get you away from that but if you'd like the same storage levels you have on Gmail/Outlook.com you'll need to pay.

Proton Mail: Secure, end-to-end encrypted, and fairly easy to setup and use. Offers a free option up to 1gb

Tuta: Secure, end-to-end encrypted, been around a very long time, and offers a free option up to 1gb.

Email Client:

Thunderbird if you're on Windows or Linux

Apple Mail if you're on macOS

Cloud Storage:

Proton Drive: Encrypted cloud storage from the same people as Proton Mail.

Tresorit: Encrypted cloud storage owned by the national postal service of Switzerland. Received MULTIPLE awards for their security stats.

Peergos: decentralized and open-source, allows for you to set up your own cloud storage, but will require a certain level of expertise.

Microsoft Office Replacements:

LibreOffice: free and open-source, updates regularly, and has the majority of the same functions as base level Microsoft Office.

OnlyOffice: cloud-based, free, and open source.

Chat Clients:

Note: As you've heard SMS and even WhatsApp and some other popular chat clients are basically open season right now. These are a couple of options to replace those.

Signal: Provides IM and calling securely and encrypted, has multiple layers of data hardening to prevent intrusion and exfil of data.

Molly (Android OS only): Alternative client to Signal. Routes communications through the TOR Network.

Briar: Encrypted IM client that connects to other clients through the TOR Network, can also chat via wifi or bluetooth.

Now for the last bit, I know that the majority of people are on Windows or macOS, but if you can get on Linux I would strongly recommend it. pop_OS, Ubuntu, and Mint are super easy distros to use and install. They all have very easy to follow instructions on how to install them on your PC and if you'd like to just test them out all you need is a thumb drive to boot off of to run in demo mode.

If you game through Steam their Proton emulator in compatibility mode works wonders, I'm presently playing a major studio game that released in 2024 with no Linux support on it and once I got my drivers installed it's looked great. There are some learning curves to get around, but the benefit of the Linux community is that there's always people out there willing to help.

I hope some of this information helps you and look out for yourself, it's starting to look scarier than normal out there.

È bene specificare, infatti, che anche se App Store esistevano già altri browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc), fino ad ora tutti i browser alternativi erano costretti a utilizzare lo stesso browser engine di Safari, chiamato WebKit. Il browser engine (chiamato anche motore di rendering) è il componente del browser che a tutti gli effetti interpreta i dati forniti dal sito e ricostruisce graficamente la pagina web: è il "cuore" del browser, quello che esegue effettivamente il lavoro principale.

Al momento, tutti i browser pubblicati su App Store utilizzano lo stesso engine di Safari: al netto delle personalizzazioni estetiche, dell'esperienza utente e della gestione dei profili, tutti i browser sono quindi una versione rivista e abbellita di Safari.

Con iOS 17.4, invece, non sarà più così e ogni browser potrà utilizzare il proprio motore di rendering. Oltre WebKit di Apple, in ambito desktop i motori di rendering più famosi in giro sono sostanzialmente due: Blink (Chromium), ossia quello che muove Chrome (ma anche Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc...) e Gecko, quello sviluppato da Mozilla per Firefox.

Vale la pena precisare che con iOS 17.4 non solo Apple consentirà l'installazione di browser completi, ma che anche i browser integrati all'interno delle applicazioni potranno usare motori di rendering diversi da WebKit. Inoltre, per favorire la libera concorrenza, al primo avvio di iPhone verrà chiesto all'utente quale browser vuole utilizzare.

El Videojuego de Square Enix y otros 50 llegan a XCloud

Se a informado que Xbox en recientes horas consiguieron una nueva e inesperada colaboración con una empresa que hasta hace algunos años era una fiel desarrolladora de PlayStation: La icónica creadora de RPG’s, JRPG’s, pero sobre todo de la franquicia Final Fantasy, Square Enix. Esta nueva y fructuosa colaboración consiste en llevar algunos juegos la empresa a XCloud también conocida como la “Nube”. Entre ellos se encuentran el RPG en línea Final Fantasy XIV y muchos otros títulos que causaron mucha alegría al fandom de la empresa que Phil Spencer gestiona. https://youtu.be/79Rza5taYAM Mediante una publicación en la cuenta oficial de X/Twitter, Square Enix anunció este 27 de noviembre que, desde el pasado 20 del mismo mes, habrían estado subiendo títulos a la “nube” para que los usuarios los comenzarán a disfrutar, entre los principales confirmados estando: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Visions of Mana, Final Fantasy XIV y Life Is Strage: Double Exposure, juegos que se han ganado un gran fandom y que seguramente costaron una enorme inversión de tiempo a sus desarrolladores para crear estos parches. En un comunicado hecho mediante el blog oficial de Xbox, se mostraron 50 títulos de gran calidad que podrán ser transmitidos de forma remota mediante la nube, los principales juegos de Square Enix que podrán ser disfrutados son, además de los anteriormente mencionados: Final Fantasy I, II, III, IV, V y VI, es decir, la saga que salió hace algunas escasas semanas y en conjunto la entrega “XIV Online” se podrá disfrutar de 7 Final Fantasy en XCloud. Sin embargo, esto no fue todo, pues mediante la misma publicación mencionó 50 títulos de enorme calidad que llegarán a la nube, donde se incluyen muchos más allá de Square Enix, como por ejemplo: The witcher 3: Wild Hunt (CD Projekt RED / Namco Bandai Games) Mortal Kombat 1 (NetheRealm / WB Games), Howarts Legacy (Avalanche Studios) Baldur’s Gate III (Larian Studios), Cyberpunk 2077 (CD Projekt RED / Bandai Namco Games), Metro Exodus (4A Games), Space Marine 2 (Focus).

Lamentablemente, no todos los títulos se encuentran disponibles en Game Pass, por lo que tendrás que adquirirlos o, si ya los tienes, puedes comenzar a disfrutar de ellos con tu suscripción.

ETICHETTE ITALIANE

Un viaggio nella Musica Sperimentale

Il panorama musicale italiano, da sempre ricco e variegato, negli ultimi anni ha visto una crescita esponenziale. Accanto ai grandi nomi noti al pubblico internazionale, come possono essere gli artisti dell'elettronica sperimentale o del rock progressivo degli anni '70, si è sviluppata una fitta rete di etichette indipendenti che, con passione e dedizione,  promuovono e sostengono nuovi artisti che sfidano i generi tradizionali e propongono sonorità uniche e originali, offrendo loro una piattaforma per esprimere la propria creatività senza compromessi.

Se siete curiosi di scoprire la variegata complessità della musica sperimentale italiana, vi invitiamo ad esplorare i cataloghi delle etichette indipendenti di cui abbiamo parlato in questo articolo.

In un mondo musicale spesso omologato è un invito ad andare oltre i preconcetti e ad aprirsi a nuove sonorità, potreste trovare vere e proprie gemme nascoste, artisti talentuosi e generi musicali che vi sorprenderanno e vi appassioneranno

🔗 Continua a leggere sul sito

Nell'articolo c'è molta musica e ci vuole un po' a caricare la pagina, bisogna avere pazienza, se nel mentre si va da una finestra all'altra dà errore. Bandcamp non è perfettamente compatibile con iPhone e Safari o Chrome su Android, si preferisce usare un altro browser. Consigliamo di leggerlo da computer, possibilmente collegato ad un buon impianto audio.

Per scegliere se inserire una selezione musicale o meno e avere una pagina più veloce abbiamo preferito inserirla, anche perché si tratta di un contenuto che ha bisogno di spazio. In sostanza volevamo offrire uno strumento da dove iniziare e ampliare le proprie ricerche

Web Design Agency Tips for Creating a Stylish and Responsive Site

In today’s digital world, having a well-designed and responsive website is essential for any business to thrive. Having an online store or offering services makes your website crucial in shaping how potential customers perceive your brand. At DesignLab, a top Web design and development company located in Pune, we focus on building websites that offer both visual appeal and distinctive user engagement. In this article, we provide useful advice on how to design a visually appealing website that is user-friendly and yields positive outcomes.

What is Responsive Design?

A responsive design guarantees your website appears and functions effectively on various devices like desktops, tablets, and mobile phones. As more people use smartphones, having a mobile-responsive website is crucial. This entails that your website needs to adapt its design and functionalities to various screen sizes while still providing a good user experience.

Why a Stylish Website Matters

First impressions are crucial, and your website is often the first interaction a potential customer has with your brand. A stylish, well-designed website can capture attention and leave a lasting impression. On the other hand, a poorly designed website may turn visitors away. As a Website design expert, here are some essential elements to consider:

1. Visual Appeal

Your website should be visually appealing and consistent with your brand identity. Use colors, fonts, and graphics that reflect your business values. Make sure the overall design is clean, modern and uncluttered.

DesignLab, we use integrated CMS development tools to help you create visually appealing websites that are also easy to maintain.

2. User-Friendly Navigation

Good guidance is essential to a good experience. Make it easy for visitors to find what they’re looking for with clear, intuitive menus and buttons. Whether you’re on an online marketing website or a company blog, users can navigate your site effortlessly.

3. Fast Loading Time

No one wants to wait for a website to load. If your site takes too long to load, visitors may leave in search of other options. Optimize your images, reduce file size, and use fast and reliable hosting solutions to ensure fast delivery. For businesses using e-commerce websites, fast loading times are even more important to ensure customers don’t abandon their carts.

Key Features of A Responsive Website

Creating a mobile-friendly website takes more than just scaling down your desktop layout to fit smaller screens. Here are some best practices to ensure your website is automated:

1. Flexible Layouts

Your system should adjust itself to different screen sizes. Use a simple web design and make sure your website content is large enough.

2. Optimized Images and Media 

Large images can slow down your site, especially on mobile devices. Make sure to use optimized images that maintain their quality without affecting the site’s speed. A responsive design will automatically resize images for different devices. 

3. Touchscreen Compatibility

Since many users will be browsing your website on a smartphone or tablet, ensure that buttons, links, and forms are optimized for touchscreen interaction. Larger buttons and touch-friendly elements will make your site more user-friendly.

4. Cross-Browser Compatibility 

Your website should function seamlessly across different browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Testing your site on multiple browsers ensures a consistent experience for all users, regardless of their preferred browser.

Why Choose a CMS for Your Website?

Utilizing a CMS like WordPress or personalized .NET software development simplifies updating and managing websites, regardless of the need for extensive coding skills. Whether it's a WordPress site or a tailored solution, a CMS streamlines the process to ensure your website remains current.

Here are some reasons to choose a CMS for your website:

Ease of Use: Content management systems are easy to use, enabling simple editing, image uploading, and blog post management.

SEO-Friendly: The majority of CMS platforms include integrated SEO features to boost your website's visibility in search engine rankings.

Scalability: Your website should expand as your business expands. CMS platforms have the capability to incorporate additional pages, functionalities, and plugins without requiring a complete overhaul.

The Importance of Website Maintenance

Designing an attractive and mobile-friendly website is only the first step. Consistent maintenance of your website is crucial to keep it functioning properly. This involves enhancing software, addressing bugs, enhancing website security, and incorporating new features.

DesignLab, we provide thorough website maintenance services to guarantee the safety, functionality, and current status of your website. We take care of everything from CMS updates to plugin management so that you can concentrate on your business operations.

E-Commerce Websites: Going Beyond Style

A well-crafted website is crucial for the success of businesses that depend on e-commerce platforms. In addition to aesthetics, an e-commerce site needs to be operational, easy to use, and safe. Your clients can enjoy a smooth shopping experience from start to finish, from browsing to finalizing the checkout process.

If you are looking to start or improve your eCommerce website, it is essential to incorporate fundamental elements like payment gateways, filters, and a user-friendly purchasing process. We have expertise in creating mobile-friendly and responsive designs specifically tailored for online stores, guaranteeing your customers a top-notch shopping experience across all devices.

Custom Development for Your Unique Needs

Every business has its own distinguishing characteristics, and your website should showcase those qualities. At DesignLab, we provide tailored .NET software development and vb.net application solutions to meet your individual requirements. We collaborate with you to develop a solution that aligns with your business objectives, whether it be a tailored eCommerce website or a corporate site.

Conclusion

Creating a stylish and responsive website is essential for any business in today’s competitive landscape. By focusing on key elements like responsive design, user-friendly navigation, and fast loading times, you can ensure that your website not only looks good but also functions perfectly across all devices.

The Essential Elements of Website Design: Crafting a User-Centric Experience

Website design is at the heart of digital branding, providing the foundation for how users perceive and interact with a business online. As digital competition intensifies, having a visually appealing, responsive, and functional website is crucial for making a strong first impression and driving conversions. This article explores the core components of effective website design and how they contribute to an impactful online presence.

User-Centric Approach: Designing with the User in Mind

A successful website prioritizes the user experience (UX) by anticipating users' needs and providing clear, intuitive navigation paths. Understanding the target audience’s preferences, behavior, and pain points is critical to guiding design decisions.

Simple Navigation: Users should find what they need quickly. Streamlined navigation bars, organized menus, and breadcrumb trails help users easily locate content, creating a more satisfying experience.

Responsive Design: With a significant portion of traffic coming from mobile devices, responsive design ensures websites display and function correctly on any screen size.

Accessibility: Inclusive design is essential. Features such as alternative text for images, clear contrast, and keyboard navigation make a site accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

Visual Design: The Aesthetic Appeal

Visual appeal is the first thing users notice when they visit a website. A harmonious color scheme, thoughtfully selected fonts, and high-quality images contribute to a cohesive look that reflects the brand’s identity and personality.

Color Scheme: Colors evoke emotion and reinforce branding. A healthcare website might use calming blues and greens, while an e-commerce fashion site could choose vibrant hues to create excitement.

Typography: Fonts are more than just text; they set the tone. Selecting readable, consistent fonts enhances readability while maintaining a professional feel.

Images and Graphics: Visual elements should be purposeful, enhancing the message rather than distracting users. High-quality images, infographics, and icons keep users engaged while also enhancing the site’s professional look.

Functionality: Ensuring Smooth Performance

Functionality is crucial to keeping visitors on the site and guiding them through the user journey without disruptions. Even the best visuals and content won’t retain users if the site is slow, buggy, or difficult to use.

Loading Speed: Quick loading times are critical as users have limited patience. Optimizing images, reducing code, and using fast hosting options all contribute to faster page loads.

SEO-Friendly Structure: Proper HTML structuring, relevant keywords, and optimized images make it easier for search engines to index the site, boosting visibility and increasing organic traffic.

Cross-Browser Compatibility: A good website works well on all major browsers, including Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, ensuring every visitor has the same positive experience.

Content Quality: Informative and Engaging Content

Content is the voice of a website, guiding users to take specific actions, whether it’s learning more, making a purchase, or subscribing to a newsletter. High-quality content that resonates with the audience is as important as the design itself.

Clear and Persuasive Copy: Well-written, concise copy communicates key messages without overwhelming users. It’s essential to make each word count, providing value and guidance.

Effective Calls to Action (CTAs): CTAs drive user actions, so they should be clear, visually distinct, and placed strategically. Phrases like “Get Started,” “Learn More,” or “Contact Us” can be the subtle push users need.

Multimedia Integration: Videos, animations, and graphics add a layer of interactivity to a website. These elements should enhance the content and be optimized for fast loading to avoid slowdowns.

Conclusion

An effective website balances aesthetics, usability, and functionality, creating a smooth, engaging experience for users. By focusing on user-centric design, visual appeal, and reliable functionality, a well-designed website enhances brand perception, fosters trust, and encourages action. Staying adaptable to trends and technological innovations ensures that websites remain a powerful asset in the digital age, supporting business goals and delighting users in the process.

KI-gesteuerte Plattform schützt vor einer Vielzahl von Bedrohungen

Ein führendes Unternehmen für Cybersecurity hat die Funktionen seiner Plattform verbessert. Sie bietet unter anderem Schutz vor Bedrohungen in Social-Media-, Messaging- und SaaS-Anwendungen sowie vor Daten- und Identitätsdiebstahl. Proofpoint, ein führendes Cybersecurity- und Compliance-Unternehmen, hat heute die Erweiterung der Funktionen seiner preisgekrönten Plattform bekannt gegeben, um seinen Kunden eine breitere, adaptive und auf den Menschen ausgerichtete Sicherheitskontrolle zu bieten. Die neuen Lösungen und Integrationen schützen Unternehmen vor Bedrohungen in Messaging-, Collaboration- und Social-Media-Anwendungen, beschützen SaaS-Anwendungen und Identitäten in einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen, verhindern Datenverluste durch intelligente, adaptive Datensicherheit und leiten Mitarbeiter mit adaptiven Sicherheitsanweisungen zu sicherem Verhalten an. Leistungsstarke KI-gesteuerte Plattform für die auf den Menschen ausgerichtete Sicherheit Die neuen Funktionen, die heute auf der Protect-Konferenz des Unternehmens vorgestellt wurden, setzen einen neuen Standard für den Umgang von Unternehmen mit menschlichen Risiken, indem sie zwei wichtige proprietäre Plattformkomponenten nutzen: Proofpoint Nexus, eine Kombination aus KI, Verhaltens- und Bedrohungserkennung, die Risiken identifiziert und mindert, sowie Proofpoint Zen, eine Reihe von Technologien, die erstklassigen, umfassenden Schutz bieten, während Menschen mit E-Mail, Kollaborationsanwendungen, dem Internet und Daten arbeiten. Zusammen bieten sie eine integrierte, kohärente Erfahrung, die sowohl Endnutzern als auch Sicherheitsexperten einen Schutz bietet, bei dem der Mensch im Mittelpunkt steht. „Von Ransomware über Business Email Compromise bis hin zu Datenverlusten – die schädlichsten Cyberrisiken haben alle mit Menschen und ihren Identitäten zu tun“, sagt Sumit Dhawan, Chief Executive Officer bei Proofpoint. „Aber das menschliche Risiko ist schwer in den Griff zu bekommen, da wir alle mit E-Mail, Collaboration-Anwendungen, der Cloud und dem Internet arbeiten, was mit den Risiken neuer Bedrohungen, des Identitätsdiebstahls und einer Gefährdung von Daten einhergeht. Proofpoint hat Pionierarbeit auf dem Gebiet der menschzentrierten Sicherheit geleistet und definiert diese nun neu, indem wir bisher unzusammenhängende Prozesse und Technologien in einer einzigen Plattform zusammenführen, um neue digitale Kanäle zu schützen, das Unternehmensrisiko zu senken und die Benutzer jeden Tag in Echtzeit besser zu unterstützen.“ Gezielte Bedrohungen über alle Messaging-, Collaboration- oder Social-Media-Plattformen hinweg stoppen Bedrohungsakteure nutzen zunehmend digitale Kanäle wie Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom und LinkedIn, um Phishing-Angriffe zu starten und Menschen dazu zu verleiten, persönliche Informationen preiszugeben oder bestimmte Aktionen auszuführen, z. B. Geld zu überweisen oder sensible Unternehmensdaten weiterzugeben. In den letzten drei Jahren sind laut Proofpoint die URL-Bedrohungen per E-Mail um 119 Prozent und per SMS um 2.524 Prozent in die Höhe geschnellt. Basierend auf branchenführenden Bedrohungsdaten und der neuen ZenWeb-Browsererweiterung von Proofpoint bietet Proofpoint Collab Protection fortschrittlichen Echtzeit-Bedrohungsschutz. Damit werden bösartige URLs blockiert, die mittels irgendeiner Messaging-, Collaboration- oder Social-Media-Anwendung übertragen werden, und sie kann in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari oder jedem Chromium-basierten Unternehmensbrowser eingesetzt werden. Durch den Einsatz von Nexus TI (Threat Intelligence) profitieren Kunden von einer kollektiven Verteidigung, die ein Netzwerk von Tausenden der kritischsten Organisationen weltweit schützt. Schutz von SaaS-Anwendungen und Verhinderung von Account-Hijacking mit Proofpoint Posture Management Unternehmensidentitäten ermöglichen es Mitarbeitern, problemlos mit Microsoft 365, GenAI, Cloud-Speicher- und Collaboration-Anwendungen zu arbeiten. Bedrohungsakteure haben jedoch erkannt, diese zu nutzen, um Ransomware-Angriffe zu starten, Cloud-Konten zu übernehmen und Daten zu exfiltrieren. Laut Daten von Proofpoint waren fast alle Unternehmen (96 %) Ziel von Hackerangriffen auf Cloud-Accounts, und mehr als die Hälfte von ihnen hat solche bereits selbst erlebt. Darüber hinaus war bei der Hälfte der gehackten Konten die Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung (MFA) aktiviert. Dies zeigt, dass unsichere Anwendungen – sowohl vom Unternehmen bereitgestellte als auch Schattenanwendungen – ein wertvolles Sprungbrett für Angreifer sind, um Cloud-Konten von Unternehmen zu übernehmen. Die Proofpoint Nexus Plattform bildet die Verbreitung von Benutzeridentitäten und gängige Angriffspfade ab und erkennt Anomalien bei der Konfiguration und Zugriffen, um unbefugten Zugang und die Übernahme von Cloud-Konten zu verhindern. Dies hilft Sicherheitsexperten zu verstehen, wo sich ein Konto befindet und ob es aufgrund seiner Berechtigungen, der Daten, mit denen es verknüpft ist, oder seiner guten (oder schlechten) Sicherheitskonfiguration ein Risiko darstellt. Basierend auf dem Status und dem Risiko einer Identität gibt Proofpoint Posture Management Empfehlungen und führt Konfigurationen zur Verbesserung durch. Datenschutz und Reduzierung von Insider-Risiken durch intelligentere, adaptive Kontrollen und bewussten GenAI-Schutz Die Identifizierung von Insider-Bedrohungen ist eine Herausforderung, die dazu führt, dass interne Untersuchungen nur reaktiv durchgeführt werden: Cybersicherheits-Administratoren konzentrieren sich auf Benutzer mit hohem Risiko, wie Mitarbeiter, die das Unternehmen verlassen bzw. an einer Leistungsverbesserungsmaßnahme teilnehmen, oder Auftragnehmer, erst nachdem sie auf ihr potenzielles Risiko für das Unternehmen aufmerksam gemacht wurden. Adaptive Information Protection von Proofpoint ermöglicht Sicherheitsteams einen proaktiven Ansatz beim Management von Insider-Risiken. Die Verantwortung der Sicherheitsanalysten verlagert sich von der Erstellung manueller Richtlinien auf die Automatisierung von Reaktionen in Bezug auf riskantes Benutzerverhalten. Dadurch können die Analysten effizienter arbeiten. Da GenAI-Tools am Arbeitsplatz allgegenwärtig sind, um Aufgaben wie das Zusammenfassen von Besprechungsprotokollen, das Umformulieren von E-Mails oder das Schreiben von Code zu erledigen, können unvorsichtige oder unbeabsichtigte Handlungen geschäftskritische Informationen wie PII (Persönlich identifizierbare Informationen), Quellcode und andere Unternehmensinformationen preisgeben. Einige dieser Informationen sind mit herkömmlichen DLP-Tools nur schwer zu identifizieren und zu schützen. Proofpoints neues „GenAI Intent Protection“ und „GenAI Instant Editing“ helfen Unternehmen, die Nutzung von GenAI zu ermöglichen und gleichzeitig strukturierte und unstrukturierte Unternehmensdaten vor Offenlegung zu schützen. Die Lösung klärt Endanwender auf und führt über Compliance-Benachrichtigungen zu Verhaltensänderungen bei der Interaktion mit GenAI-Tools. Vom Sicherheitsbewusstsein zur nachhaltigen Verhaltensänderung Herkömmliche Programme zur Förderung des Sicherheitsbewusstseins, die sich auf die Einhaltung von Vorschriften konzentrieren, sind nicht in der Lage, Risiken des menschlichen Handelns zu verringern und die Mitarbeiter zu sichereren Verhaltensweisen anzuleiten. Tatsächlich zeigen Untersuchungen, dass die meisten Mitarbeiter (68 %) wissentlich riskante Verhaltensweisen an den Tag legen, obwohl 99 Prozent der Unternehmen über ein Security Awareness Programm verfügen. Proofpoint entwickelt seine Security-Awareness-Lösung weiter, um Unternehmen dabei zu unterstützen, Sicherheitsvorfälle durch eine echte Verhaltensänderung und den Aufbau einer starken Sicherheitskultur zu reduzieren. ZenGuide von Proofpoint (ehemals Proofpoint Security Awareness Training) ermöglicht es schlanken Sicherheitsteams, personalisierte Lernpfade zu automatisieren und zu skalieren, die auf dem individuellen Risikoprofil, dem Verhalten und der Rolle einer Person basieren.
