I help run a messageboard for people affected by a neurodegenerative disease that is powered by Discourse. I keep the software up to date by following the security list at Commit search results · GitHub and updating whenever there is security issue. However this has the unintended side effect of loc…

This is pretty tragic. Unfortunately, Discourse development seems to be about always moving forwards, and a couple of times a year (it seems to me) there’s some kind of change which disenfranchises another wave of older devices or browsers. You case might be one of those cases where using the stab…

[画像] Dan DeMontmorency: Found this for old ipad. You may also be able to install other browsers And yet those are Safaris, AFAIK. But anyway, those can’t bypass the test of Discourse because that result comes from iOS.

So install a 3rdparty browser like chrome or firefox and use it instead of Safari? No?

Those aren’t real browsers with theirs engines. It can be describing like those are more just skins.

I don’t understand. My apologies are you saying Google Chrome or Firefix etc.. are not the legit versions of those browsers on iOS? Just reskinned Safari browser?

More like reskinned engine of Apple, but the end result is very much same. Apple is limiting its environment very hard.

That really is unfortunate then but with Apple not surprising. I recall Microsoft tried something similar back in Windows 95 by limiting 3rdparty browser performance(well maybe not quite the same) back during Netscape€Now known as Mozilla Firefox). MS was slapped hard for it in courts and by web d…

It wouldn’t be ideal. but could an idea like using some kind if Website browser be used as a go between? Kind of like how ppl use Tor? As maybe a compatibility layer in this case?

Apple require all browsers on iOS to use Apple WebKit. I would guess that Discourse source could be adjusted to allow login yet still make it read only (since that appears to be required to prevent things appearing in the browser that it would not be able to handle).

理解できません。Google ChromeやFirefoxなどがiOSで正規のブラウザバージョンではないということでしょうか？単に再スキンされたSafariブラウザということでしょうか？
