This film is excellent work. Everything, the camera work, the sound, the choice of music to help tell the story. Invasion, unease, confusion, hypersensitivity, the internalising of stress, sensory overwhelm, loneliness … literally made tangible in seven-and-a-half minutes. Watched it three times and with earbuds too, and i felt like having lost track of time while watching it. Thought it was like three minutes short but it’s actually a five minute walk.
Via is indeed a wrapper for WebView, and i used it on an old device for its small memory footprint. Then kept using it for some features which the non-Chromium alternatives (Firefox but also Mull) have dumbed away.
That’s mainly navigation buttons in the address bar, drop-down tab switcher, the ability to export settings and bookmarks (never liked to have yet another “cloud” account that tracks my usage…), and saving webpages for offline use. Among other features such as code and resource-file viewer, network log. – It’s just a a lean and convenient UI.
Lately, i started to run it together with DuckDuckGo-browser’s tracking protection. That does take care of Via’s own built-in trackers.
