Note: I re-posted this video today in support of @social continuing to explore the fediverse and trying to be a champion of how a responsible organization should approach social media. Good on team #mozilla and #firefox. :firefox:
Is there a #firefox plugin for browser tabs that works like the chromium based tab groups to collapse, color code, etc?
Looking more for a group instead of a container style. I've looked into Simple Tab Groups, but its more containers, and cant collapse the groups I make.
While I agree with the @fsf warning about the emblematic value of the decision by #Google to pull support for #JpegXL from #Chrome, their article <https://u.fsf.org/3z8> is as empty as could be, especially considering that #GNU#IceCat doesn't support JPEG XL either (being based on a #Firefox branch that doesn't build #JXL support in.) You want to show that #FLOSS can do without? Do it by actually supporting what you complain Google is failing to.
For #Firefox and its forks, this means enabling it out of the box for main builds. For #Blink-based browsers (@Vivaldi are you listening?), this means rolling back Google's patch to remove it, and help maintain it with community effort. Ditto for #WebKit. The #openWeb needs something like what the #DocumentFoundation did for the office productivity suites and formats.
Poll: Do you think the Web browser war is over (FYI, as of Feb/2023, Chrome has 79.7%, ME-Edge, 8.6%, Mozilla Firefox 4.8%, and Apple Safari has a 3.9% market share)? Please share for a broad reach. TIA.
Hey @mozilla , can we exepct #PWA / #ProgressiveWebApp support in #Firefox again some day? Would be really great because I don't like to see my colleagues using #Edge on #Ubuntu because of it's #PWA support 😭 (and other browsers had some issues, too)
In this charming scene, we see a cute little fox standing in front of a backdrop of fire and butterflies. The fox is small and fluffy, with bright eyes and a curious expression. Its russet fur is soft and fluffy, and it seems to be looking out at the world with a sense of wonder.
Good news, a colleague found a way to make #Firefox crash reporting work in #Flatpak by... punching another hole in the sandbox.
As I mentioned a few weeks back, a sandbox is only as secure as the holes you punch in it, and Flatpak is no exception. So when people come to me with "but the sandbox!" argument I'm always wondering what kind of functionality do they expect from applications. Anything non-trivial requires a lot of holes.
I hit this checkbox in the #PureOS software store, and now I can install many, many perfectly compatible #flatpak apps on my #librem5 such as #Tuba for mastodon and #librewolf which I prefer over #firefox 🤩️
I can't get any images to work and on #mastodon and I'm on #Firefox browser desk top can anyone help? The Safari fix does not help me. Otherwise I will stop using Mastodon because it's been over a month and it's just useless to be on here in this state.
Question for the #firefox#a11y folks. Both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge have an option to try and fill out alt-text when it's missing. While the feature is obviously nowhere near as good as people correctly labelling things, and is probably bad for privacy, it does enable me to complete tasks I need to complete and would otherwise have to abandon. Is there a way to get a similar feature in Firefox? With CTW now a thing, I'm once again hearing the narrative that Firefox is somehow the "most accessible" browser. Between missing an accessibility feature that the two other major browsers have, and the way it constantly messes with my taskbar by pinning itself with every upgrade, I'm struggling to understand where this idea is coming from. I feel like I must be missing something really important, because a lot of really smart folks seem to believe this.
In case you want to have a better web on your machine: https://consentomatic.au.dk#Consentomatic is a browser plugin/extension that does all the clicks on these annoying consent popups for you. Not by simply clicking "accept" — by doing the opposite. Automated opt-out :)
@jwildeboer I've started to notice a number of sites showing a message "opting out of cookies due to your browser preference" and dismissing the banner lately after checking that box in #Firefox, both on desktop and mobile.
Firefox Focus blocked 23640 ads and trackers. In more than a year of daily usage.
Brave browser blocked 1400 ads and trackers. In just a week.
It’s about 3 times more.
Is @brave really that good at blocking or is it just better at counting ? #Firefox#Brave#browser#privacy
Anyone knows if there’s a #firefox extension that allows you to add some sort of black square overlay on any video to hide parts you don’t wish to see (ads, on-screen chats etc.)?
@unattributed Just like with your last poll too, i see only your pre-poll descriptive / explanatory posts, then your post-poll commentary posts. I do not see your actual polls themselves. Huh?
Do you not use hashtags for the browsers in your polls? If not, then peeps like me who only follow tags NOT peeps, will never see your polls.
