It’s so slow that I had time to take my phone out and take this video after I typed all the letters. How is this even possible?
There are like 35 scripts capturing every stroke; privacy is not going to invade itself.
Heh. Can you imagine how fast Facebook et al would have to scale this stuff back if there were some kind of law that stated that any of their code other than css and html had to be executed on their own servers rather than in each user’s browser?
The CPU/RAM offload of using every end user’s browser/device instead of their own server cycles for this has to be immense.
Heh, that’s what I thought first when I saw Google’s FLoC proposal. They’re moving the privacy invasion to be run on my computer!
That would be amazingly impractical. May as well say “what if all website were forced to be .txt files”.
Most website template frameworks (Bootstrap/Foundation) etc rely on Javascript for basic UI features. Imagine having to wait for the server to toggle a simple CSS class on your page any time the user wants to view a menu, togle a button, or view a popup/modal/lightbox/whatever.
At that point I’d be writing a response in notepad or something and then copying and pasting.
Yeah that’s what I ended up doing. Facebook Marketplace has taken over craigslist in my area so I made a facebook, and now I’m shocked that it’s so bad that I can’t even type into it!
Not defending fb chat at all but at least for me, delayed keyboard input like this is usually of my computer running at 100% cpu and the signals being sent to the application slowly, not the application processing them slowly
It’s only FB and it always happens but only in Firefox and never happens in chrome. Meanwhile everything else is working fine. I’m pretty sure it’s on their end right?
Huh interesting yeah if it only ever happens there then I don’t see how it couldn’t be their fault
