I just spent two hours trying to get #Firefox to use #KDE Dolphin as the default file manager.
I went on a journey from .desktop files and mimeinfo.cache, through DBus, to .service files.
I shook with anger when everything seemed configured correctly, but Firefox would just not launch a file manager at all. Click that "show in folder" button and nothing happens.
I have now found the problem.
The problem was: systemd. :angery:
Why. Is. Systemd. Involved. In. Launching. A file manager. 👀
@kuketzblog Interessant ist die Brave-Empfehlung. Und dann die Verlinkung zum Wikiartikel in dem die Kontroversen um den Browser aufgelistet sind und doch recht deutlich zeigen, wie die Eigner Ihr Geld verdienen.
Oh this sounds like #Firefox will become a real browser for me soon. I wish they were ready already for the #ManifestV3 thing. But I guess it's good to know they're on it.
@royalrex@Sirs0ri That's one of my problems with Firefox. You need AddOns for so many things that should be standard. But because the market share is so low they're barely maintained. 😅
@kaiserkiwi@royalrex yeeeah, Firefox' add-ons definitely have their ups and downs. I like how so much of the browser can be changed by add-ons (looking at the browsing contexts/multi account containers for example), but I absolutely agree that some of these functions should just be default
In case you’ve been asleep at the wheel – and if you’re still using Chrome, you most likely are – Manifest V3 will heavily limit what content blockers can do, making them less effective at things like blocking ads.
Einen Beitrag zum Thema Browser zu veröffentlichen, ist mindestens genauso anstrengend wie zum Thema Messenger. Inhaltlich setzt man sich kaum mit den Aussagen und Erklärungen auseinander, sondern Stammtischparolen ersetzen dann eine ernsthafte Diskussion. Auf diesem Niveau möchte ich wirklich nicht diskutieren.
@kuketzblog Vielleicht sollte man erwähnen, dass der Tor Browser nicht für das alltägliche Browsing gemacht wurde. Wenn man darin seine normalen Seiten besucht und seine normalen Account-Daten verwendet, ist der Schutz nicht nur nutzlos, sondern der ganze eigentliche Nutzen hinfällig.
@bagder thanks for sharing! Wouldn't lack of the CNAME TTLs suppor introduce the problem? I can imagine setup where there are 2 A records with huge TTLs and single CNAME with shorter TTL that is used for failover, blue/green etc...
Most Web-savvy folks know that Chrome’s lineage can be traced back to Safari (WebKit, etc.), and be traced further back to KDE’s Konquerer (KHTML, etc.).
@tk With the deprecation and removal of XUL, XPCOM will soon be consigned to the past. Gecko shed some weight in Nightly recently, which usually has larger binaries due to experimental code, and I hope it continues to shrink. I find it as fast as Chromium these days, if not faster, on sites like SPW.
This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.
Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.
@ku It doesn't have any impact on Vanadium. It uses the built-in filtering engine and doesn't support extensions. We plan to upgrade the built-in filtering engine to support what we want to provide, similar to Brave. Any other features will also be implemented ourselves rather than by having people run third party code with access to their data. Extensions don't follow the standard site isolation model so they're always a downgrade in that regard for privacy and security.
Aufgrund der Datenschutzverstöße in der aktuellen Android-Version von Firefox (Version 126.0) habe ich @mozilla kontaktiert und um Stellungnahme gebeten. 👇
@kuketzblog@mozilla Man kann doch sowieso nur noch Forks nuzten. Egal ob z.B. Mozilla oder Cannonical (Ubuntu), keines kommt mir noch auf den PC/Smartphone. Ich wundere mich allerdings über Thunderbird, dass da noch nichts passiert ist.
Mike, was nutzt du als E-Mail Client am PC, oder ist Thunderbird safe?
