    all ports above 1024 are by default blocked

    Not on localhost at least no it isn’t.

    And why the hell would you be using ftp in currentyear. Newsflash: They also ditched gopher.

    Never came across a video on the modern web that firefox couldn’t play. Everything post-flash should really be fine.

    What actually annoys me about all browsers are the policies around loading certain stuff from file://. Try getting something wasm to run without serving the thing from a web server or, *shudder*, base64-encoding bitcode into html. I understand there’s some valid gripes around …/ and softlinks and whatnot but, wait, hear me out: What about zipping everything up and calling it a webapp, treat the file as a domain.

      Oh it was never my intention to use it, but I was playing a bit with OpenAL and HRTF and ended up on a webpage that actually was using FTP to provide some audio files. So I kinda had no other choice.

      The video thing is actually a known issue, but might be due to OpenSUSE not providing codecs by default. I still wonder why Chromium was working, though.
