Welcher Internet Browser ist "sicherer"?
Gute Frage und nicht simpel zu beantworten, doch nach meiner Auffassung ist es Firefox und weniger der sehr beliebte Chrome Browser.
So viel ich weiss, gibt es den Firefox länger und hat doch (knapp) weniger bekannte, so wie meistens behobene Schwachpunkte. Weshalb glauben so viele lehre Versprechungen von Konzerne?
I'm living confusing world, I want to use #Firefox for most things, but there is still a few profiles I need the #Chrome for.
Now the big problem is how do I associate the default browser? I'm thinking of making my own CLI application as the default browser, it would then open certain links in Chrome and the rest in Firefox.
Inzwischen geht via #google#chrome browser ganz offiziell auch #nvidia#geforcenow, der Streaming-Dienst, bei dem man sich potente Grafik-Hardware monatlich anmieten kann.
Großartig wäre, wenn für das Deck eine offizielle App käme ...
I'm trying to figure out the best browser combination for my needs. Generally, Firefox covers almost everything I need, but it's slow on Android and drains a lot of battery. I've tried Vivaldi, Chrome, and Brave. Of these, only Brave has the features I need, like full history sync (not just typed URLs), and the ability to send tabs to other devices. However, with its focus on crypto and AI, it seems too hype-driven for me. Also, none of them work on FreeBSD without using a Linux jail.
#Chrome friends,
I moved to a new Mac and found that Shift-Click in Chrome no longer worked. Turns out a fix is to turn off "Use Graphics Acceleration when available"!
But at what cost? I want graphics acceleration! I really need shift-click to work in text editing. What am I giving up?
And why in hell does graphics acceleration kill shift-click?
NB: Please don't tell me to not use Chrome. That's not my question.
Trying to switch to Firefox, making solid progress. I made a theme, that is pretty close to Chrome, the address bar is white, tab is white (no borders). One thing still bugs me: Why is the Firefox tab not connected to the address bar?
I really would like it to be connected. It's such a minor thing though, that it's not a dealbreaker.
Anyone here seen #Chrome extensions with #DevTools panels just not display sometimes?
I'm seeing some really weird behavior recently I can't explain and would appreciate if anyone has experienced the same problem and could validate my sanity:
I started using #Firefox about two weeks ago, after being a huge fan of #Chrome. Chrome eventually became a huge memory hog, and quite sluggish.
This morning, FF couldn't connect to the network. I had live terminal sessions that were updating every two seconds, so the network was there. I decided to close FF, at which point there was a pop-up saying that it had updated, and needed to relaunch. That's something that Chrome did well -- inform the user of a required restart.
Savez-vous que les extensions de votre navigateur, peuvent dégrader significativement le temps de chargement des pages web ? (Jusqu'à 30% de temps supplémentaire)
I don't understand why, after so many, many years of the Chrome extensions website looking like a proper app store, and after quite a few years of #Firefox extensions using the same kinda technology as Chrome extensions, the Firefox extension site still looks just really terrible, and not having anything like the kinds of massive, app-like extensions that #Chrome has!? While at the same time #Mozilla is spending money on all kinds of strange stuff. I also never see anyone complain about this?
Assis sur sa position dominante Google Chrome n'évolue plus (ou pas dans le bon sens, voire la tentative de Manifest v3 pour les WebExtensions), alors que Firefox a progressivement regagné le terrain perdu et même consolidé de l'avance.
Therefore: With #Chrome, you only get a secure #browser when you pay money to #Google. Otherwise, you get a crippled product that exposes you to risks.
Switch to a #Firefox browser in order to get a browser that offers maximum #security by default.
