Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

If you did not already, organize yourself a decent / aggregator and follow good content from there. My blog has also feeds to follow: https://karl-voit.at/how-to-use-this-blog/

I presume you could use Mastodon as a feed aggregator as well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mastodon+as+rss+aggregator&ia=web

lets you open a new window by shift-clicking a link. That's probably not news to any of you. I use this all the time.

It also lets you open an URL you TYPE in a new window by hitting Shift+Enter :-D That's going into my rotation!

Die Suchmaschine Bing, jetzt mit KI, ist momentan scheinbar überbelastet und deswegen down:
👉 https://allestörungen.ch/stoerung/bing/

Doch die Auswirkung ist mehr als nur bei ihnen, auch bei "alternativen" Suchmaschinen, die Bing im Hintergrund nutzen:

  • Ecosia
  • Duck Duck Go
  • Start Page
  • Dog Pile
  • Swiss Cows
  • ...

🔎 Was als zufärlässige Alternative genutzt werden kann, seht ihr in meiner Timeline.

Dies sind #Firefox 'Alternativen' um sich sicherer Daten minimal im Internet zu bewegen. Dies sind #Librewolf für den #Desktop und #Fennec für #Android Geräte über @fdroidorg installierbar. Mit den entsprechenden #Addons, im Mastodon Link, für Firefox lässt sich seine #Privatsphare besser schützen.

I'm not a big fan of , so I connect rarely and use the web interface, today I tried to paste some text on a message while using and it didn't work, then I found it works in Google Surveillance Node a.k.a Chrome and I'm not happy :(
Any tips?

Enable network.dns.preferIPv6 in , especially if you use ECH, as it currently breaks IPv6 preference.

Yess we're getting native tab groups in ! Really the only feature I regularly missed from Chrome; my tabs become a mess on FF whenever I dive into a new rabbit hole.

Tried to open two Figma projects using Firefox. Found it strange that it was taking too long to load. Decided to open Brave and both projects opened instantly.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Mozilla unveils its plans for Firefox, including vertical tabs, tab grouping, faster browsing, and enhanced privacy. Here's more on that!

@distrotube affirme que le navigateur est mort : plus personne ou presque ne l'utilise plus, les navigateurs fondés sur Chrome sont meilleurs et plus rapides, pas efficace sur les smartphones, etc.

Pour utiliser Firefox comme navigateur quotidien sur PC et sur Android, je ne suis pas du tout d'accord. Rien à dire sur la rapidité, plugins à gogo, synchro qui fonctionne bien entre mes ordis... Aucune raison de me plaindre !

Et vous ?

I like , but it is definitely trailing behind other browsers. PWAs, WebUSB, stacked/grouped tabs, and far more are present in a number of browsers and are all incredibly useful. Firefox has none of these. I thought translation was an extension because FF communication is crap.

I refuse to use Chrome out of principle, and Vivaldi is the only browser that even seems remotely what I want. But whenever I've tried it, I quickly ran into trivial, obvious bugs that I had reported years prior.

I'm generally happy with #Firefox but it is vexing that audio and video streaming often just randomly stops working. Some MacOS thing?

Taking my new (to me) ThinkPad 450 out for its first stroll. Using it while waiting for the car to be serviced. , , , all working like a charm. Keyboard and touchpad are almost perfect, battery life is super long. Screen is a little dim but hey. For under $100US I'm not complaining. This is exactly why I got it and set it up with linux, etc. Oh, also doing some journaling with and it seems to be syncing to my home computer with . Just about perfect!

I remember someone posting awhile back about a extension that collected 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?

One of the most useful extensions for Firefox (actually LibreWolf) is Sidebery. Finally I can decrease a mess of tabs and make them structured.

There are a lot of features, but most useful are:

  • Rules for automatically moving tabs into "panels" (a grouping mechanism similiar to workspaces).
  • Foldeable tree view.
  • Rules for openning tabs in specific containers (combines well with container proxy and multi-account).
  • Integration with bookmarks.

Not surprised by the new security vulnerability in Mozilla's PDF.js - patched in latest Firefox. But remind me again why browsers try to render PDFs to begin with?

Displaying PDFs in browsers opens a huge new attack surface. PDFs are complex. Browsers render PDF forms poorly and offer only a limited subset of the many accessibility features provided by dedicated PDF software.

I wish none of the browser makers did this.
