+title: The internet on Lockdown mode
+date: 2024-02-28
+draft: false
+---
+# What is lockdown mode?
+
+[Lockdown mode][1] is
+an optional, extreme protection mode that was introduced by Apple in
+iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, and macOS Sonoma.
+
+When Lockdown mode is enabled, your device won’t function like it typically does.
+To reduce the attack surface that potentially could be exploited by highly 
+targeted mercenary spyware, certain apps, websites,
+and features are strictly limited for security and some experiences might
+not be available at all.
+
+# What does that mean?
+
+As per the article, When Lockdown mode is enabled,
+some apps and features will function differently, including:
+
+Web browsing - Certain complex web technologies are blocked, 
+which might cause some websites to load more slowly or not operate correctly.
+In addition, web fonts might not be displayed,
+and images might be replaced with a missing image icon.
+
+# Should you enable it?
+
+Most probably, you don't need to enable it, but if you are someone (like me),
+who generally hates web tracking, has concerns about privacy, and uses browsers
+like Firefox (with [enhanced tracking protection][2] and [container tabs][4]
+or [Firefox Klar/Focus][3]), you might be interested in giving it a try. 
+You're probably familiar with an internet that looks dysfunctional anyway.
+
+**And that's actually the point of this post.**
+
+The 2024 internet has mostly become just a marketing and tracking vehicle at best,
+and except for a handful of websites (usually programming-related, 
+like StackOverflow or GitHub), the rest of the internet looks weird, and using
+the Lockdown mode, made it clearer.
+
+It's pretty scary while using Lockdown mode to see how many attack vectors are there.
+Technologies like web fonts, tracking scripts loaded from remote sources,
+and link previews mostly don't work under Lockdown mode; therefore, you see 
+a version of the internet that wasn't built to be accessible or usable.
+
+# What can you do?
+
+If you are a developer, or managing developers, maybe you have the power to push
+back against unnecessary tracking, the overuse of web fonts and glyph icons, or 
+at least, maybe you can push to have your website functioning under Lockdown mode, 
+and screen readers.
+
+It's quite sad to see the internet like this.
