Firefox Onebar's repository has moved from Codeberg to https://git.gay/freeplay/Firefox-Onebar ! Along with some minor updates to the style :blobfoxfloofhappy:
I've been meaning to cut down my power usage without disrupting my lifestyle too much, the first thought is for me to "decommission" my HTPC which I keep running all day, asleep at best, just so it's ready for me when I want to sleep and need it to watch #YouTube (so I can get to sleep lol).
The "easiest" replacement is get an #ARM based computer to take over its job. My first thought it should run on #Linux just bcos I'm most familiar with it and it's an open ecosystem so I should be able to do a ton of things w it - but I only have a Pi 4 and that thing honestly sucks at streaming so nope. Tried #LineageOS on it to get it running #Android TV and while at first it seemed great, it ended up being quite a hassle and a mess so I ditched that.
Then my dad asked me to get an Android TV box/stick for his TV, and I got him the #Xiaomi Mi Box S (2nd gen). After I set it up and used it for a bit, I honestly kinda liked it. Tried #Plex, #Netflix, #PrimeVideo, etc. and they all ran great. The only downside I thought to this option is that I won't be able to watch YouTube with adblockers like I could with something like #Firefox on a desktop.
THEN I quickly discovered the existence of #SmartTube and GOD what a lifesaver it's been. It works just like the official YouTube client with all the pages and algos you're familiar with when you've authenticated, it blocks YouTube ads, but also it supports #SponsorBlock right out of the box without needing to self-host or wtv so it could even block sponsor segments in video if you want. Even has some nice accessibility options too like changing the subtitle colours, size, and positioning which is great for me who watches vids in bed w no audio.
This rant ended up being very long unnecessarily lol but all in all, that removed the only dealbreaker for me on getting and using said TV box for myself - so I did and have been using for abt a week now. The box turns itself and my TV off automatically after 30 mins of inactivity and I can easily turn the box and the TV back on using just my remote which is nice. Idek what'd I need the HTPC for anymore honestly since I already have a #SteamDeck to take over its job gaming wise much, much earlier.
I keep looking at rust and thinking "Gods it seems to be an awesome language"... Then I read and hear about a lot of hassels moving from C or C++ to rust and never really any massive success stories... are the massive success stories out there? #rustlang#development
@looopTools#Firefox is a massive success story for Rust. After multiple attempts to write a multi threaded style engine in C++, and getting completely destroyed by data races on each attempt, #Mozilla funded Rust #development, and then used it to write a high performance multi threaded styling engine (#Stylo) with no crashes or data races on basically the first attempt.
Giving the Waterfox browser a try. I like Firefox but it seems to be starting to get a little bloaty, and I want to continue using a browser that’s not Chromium based. Waterfox is basically an even more privacy-oriented fork of Mozilla’s Gecko, but not to the point of breaking the web like some highly privacy-oriented browsers might.
After importing all my bookmarks and settings, installing my usual extensions, and even recreating my custom theme in Firefox Color, Waterfox is visually identical to my Firefox experience, just minus the analytical tracking in the background. And I have full access to Firefox extensions and themes. Using Waterfox from here on out seems like an easy decision. It even has some features that Firefox doesn’t.
Firefox users, is there any way to search youtube in the address bar? In Chrome I just type "you" and hit tab and it goes into a search right in the bar. Same for some other sites.
Sorry @k9mail@thunderbird but I moved to #FairEmail (Pro) due to its support to S/MIME and the certificate offered by my provider #Posteo.
Thanks to Marcel Bokhorst for FairEmail
@AAMfP@k9mail@thunderbird Interesting offer by #posteo. Just tried in #firefox on my #debian pc and it failed with "Action not permitted" when trying to download the files (I guess). I would also much prefer to upload my own CSR that I generated outside of the browser. BTW, in Germany #ausweisapp enables you to sign your PGP/GPG key by an official authority for free. OpenKeychain works nicely in #fairemail. #kudos to #dhl for using #smime to sign their mails.
[Depuis votre navigateur] Tapez man:ls dans la barre d'adresse de Firefox : il se peut que #Firefox (si version récente) vous demande alors si vous voulez visualiser le résultat dans son Aide. Et si oui, alors... une nouvelle fenêtre s'ouvre, avec la page du Manuel sur ls (ou toute autre commande en remplaçant ls).
De plus, il y a le #format hypertexte entre les pages !
Et de plus, info:ls peut aussi être utilisé et donner le même résultat.
PS : et man:groff explique Groff (utilisé par man ;-) )
Recordatorio periódico por si aún no has conseguido desengancharte totalmente de las redes sociales que trafican con tus datos privados: desinstala la app móvil y recurre a su versión web con un navegador que respete a sus usuarios y admita extensiones para bloquear publicidad.
Twitter e Instagram desde #Firefox con #uBlock son mucho más llevaderas. Eso sí, no hay truco para eliminar su toxicidad o desfase con los bots.
#askfedi I remember someone posting awhile back about a #Firefox extension that collected #RSS feeds as you browsed, but I can't seem to find it anymore in the mastodon search or in Firefox's extension search. Anyone know of such an extension?
Dites moi les gens qui utilisent les favoris dans #firefox ET qui y mett(ai)ent des étiquettes (#tags). Avez-vous vu disparaitre l'interface qui permet, justement, de mettre ces étiquettes ?
This... not only doesn't seem right, but seems like it shouldn't be possible. A disabled extension is still running in Firefox.
toggling the enabled toggle back on and off again made it actually be disabled but... I'm thinking there's a bug in FF where under certain circumstances a disabled plugin can actually be running and you wouldn't know unless you had it pinned (and thus visible). This seems like a security issue.
@iamdtms@angedestenebres ironically when i click on that screenshot and it pops out in firefox everynow and then the whole screen flashes, only time it does it. anyone else seeing this?
Does anyone else have issues with #Firefox acting odd in #KDE#Plasma in terms of focus and window management?
It will not want to get focus at random times, and I'll have to click on another window and back in firefox for it to become active. In these occasions, clicking within firefox doesn't do anything.
There's even a short built-in help system if you click on the input method icons on the top right, that works almost as intended except for this #Firefox missing feature:
#Firefox#WebBrowsers: "A software engineer has been keeping nearly 7,500 Firefox tabs open on her Mac computer for over two years—and doesn't plan on closing them anytime soon.
Firefox power user Hazel, who prefers not to give her last name, posted a screenshot showing 7,470 tabs open earlier this week after finding the browser initially unable to restore all the tabs. Hazel was able to bring the tabs back to life via a Firefox profile cache, however, and tells PCMag that reloading the full session took "no more than a minute."
"I feel like a part of me is restored," Hazel wrote on X once the Firefox tabs had returned.
The Firefox fan tells PCMag in a message that she keeps so many tabs open for nostalgia reasons. "I like to scroll back and see clusters of tabs from months ago—it's like a trip down memory lane on whatever I was doing/learning about/thinking about," she says.
Surprisingly, all those tabs haven't impacted the computer's performance. "Firefox is quite memory efficient and isn't actually loading the websites unless I click on the tab—so it's not very resource intensive," Hazel says."
Kilka osób pytało na pv o motyw do #Firefox, który pokazywałem w tym* poście.
Uznałem więc, że skoro i tak mam konto dewelopera @mozilla to mogę je opublikować 😁
Więc jak ktoś chce wypróbować to proszę bardzo: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/quklook-dark/
Uprzedzam tylko, że na pewno nie będzie to wyglądać tak samo 1:1, ponieważ korzystam jeszcze z kilku rozszerzeń i modyfikowałem userChrome.css
