On iOS, the Safari is the only system browser engine whereas on Android you can have other engines too, so less Android applications have in-app browsers.
Most of those in-app browsers are in social media applications that go to great length to keep their users inside a walled garden.
The site [Wayback/Archive] inAppBrowser.com helps checking how severely information is leaked through the in-app browser as those potentially have a lot of control. TikTok is worst capturing all input including credentials like user names and passwords.
The solution is a bit of JavaScript (quoted below) that you can run-online: modify the svg bit in it, then run it, scroll down in the result and verify if the canvas fits (when not: adapt the canvas side, then re-run).
The svg xml code needs to be all on one line, so remove any line breaks in it before running.
I have tested it in Chrome, but it should work in non-Chromium browsers like Firefox as well.

You can enable the extra menu in Safari by selecting ‘Preferences’ under Safari in the OS X menu bar and then under the ‘Advanced’ pane select the checkbox that says ‘Show Develop menu in menu bar.’
A while ago, WordPress.com heavily started to de-emphasise the Classic Editor in order to boost the Gutenberg editor which is bloaty (in both browser DOM usage (heavily slowing down editing) and content (lots of meta tags that are added to blog source) and is missing essential features (especially nesting of blocks often breaks things).
With 7000+ blog posts in the Classic Editor format (a few in still supported markdown format: that experiment failed horribly!) that still require editing (especially because of link rot)
So here is the Bookmarklet code to switch back an editing URL that you can use for as long as the Classic Editor is there:
I modified [Wayback/Archive] Docwiki https – EmbarcaderoMonitoring to show the actual status of a deeper page as the (mostly static) top page is up, so monitoring that is useless as the deeper pages are down.
The deeper pages are dynamic and require a functioning MySQL database connection. That connection is mostly down (the error message is not clear, so this could be a network or a database server problem, or maybe even a loadbalancer gradually entering bit heaven).
Since it had been down for like 6 days in February*, I’d expect Idera to keep an eye on it and prepare for more downtime. Apparently that’s either not a 24×7 thing for them or they missed the “pre” in preparation as it is dead-silent on .
By default, when you are on a Windows machine, the download link only provides the Media Creation tool. This forces an extra step into getting the ISO file on the virtual machine host.
When downloading from a non-Windows machine, you get a possibility to download the ISO file directly after selecting which kind of build and language you need. This provides you with a time limited https link to download the ISO (in practice this seems to last at least an hour).
I didn’t dig into this before, but luckily others did, and the difference is as easy as changing the User-Agent in your browser, as these posts describe:
