Ich arbeite an einem (sehr) ausführlichen Artikel über Browser. Dieser wird auch eine Tabelle mit empfohlenen Browsern enthalten. Anbei eine Vorschau. Die Tabelle wird sich sicher noch ändern.
Standardmäßig ist Firefox leider nicht besonders datenschutzfreundlich. Wer nicht die Einstellungen durchsuchen möchte und sich nicht bei jeder neuen Version Sorgen über neue Funktionen von Mozilla machen will, kann auf Alternativen zurückgreifen. Zum Beispiel #LibreWolf für den Desktop und #Fennec für Android. Beide Varianten entfernen unter anderem die Telemetrie-Funktionen.
The current version of #Mozilla#Firefox is 125.0.2 #Librewolf is still stuck at version 124.0.1 & #MullBrowser from #FDroid is at 124.2.
Not sure, why both of them are not getting any further updates? Have they already given up? Time to switch back to vanilla #Firefox?
Giving @librewolf a try. I like the idea of a browser specifically hardened against browser fingerprinting and tracking. Runs all of my existing Firefox plugins with no problems
Firefox 124.0.2 was released 11 days ago. Librewolf got bumped the day after and yet the flathub version is still on 124.0.1.
I'm seriously starting to consider moving away from the atomic (immutable) desktop so i can install release and beta versions of the browsers i alternate between and not have to rely on forks 😄
Welchen Browser ihr am besten für mehr Sicherheit und Privatsphäre nutzen solltet, könnt ihr auf @privacytests herausfinden. Geschmackssache und Argumente sind nicht das selbe und helfen selten für eine korrekte technische Entscheidung. Nicht nur Privat sondern hoffentlich auch innerhalb von Firmen.
A #LAZYWEB REQUEST
is there a script or an app for bulk adding to the #Firefox#Librewolf dictionary? or should i be doing that to whatever dico #Ubuntu has?
there has to be a better way than to add one word at a time to each dictionary of each writing app!
am a polyglot and refuse to maintain 5 language dictionaries, siloed from each other. so i always end up just adding all the languages i write, ONE WORD AT A TIME, to whatever default english dico comes with the OS and apps.
Given the recent changes planned to be coming to #Firefox coinciding with a rare lull in my daily work, I finally decided to go through with the effort to switch my browser over to #LibreWolf on all of my computers, and also to start using non web-based clients for as many of my apps that I can. Part of this effort includes switching over to Mastodon.el in #Emacs.
So far it has been one of the easiest Emacs apps I have ever used, and if I had known it would be this nice I would have switched a long time ago. I only wish there were a more distinct visual division between each "toot", but I can get used to the way it is now no problem. And also the fact that now it integrates into the rest of #Emacs is in and of itself an incredibly handy feature that the web-based client could never have.
⚠️ Si vous utilisez des webapp #nativefier, ce projet a été abandonné en septembre dernier… Mais il y a une alternative carrément mieux !
:firefox: C’est une extension #Firefox qui se nomme «Progressive Web Apps for Firefox»
Une fois la mise en place, il sera possible de créer des PWA pour votre ordinateur en deux clics.
🧩 Chaque #PWA est un mini Firefox avec ses propres réglages et ses propres extensions (si on souhaite en installer)
Ça me permet d’avoir Grammalecte sur mon Deck du Fediverse 🤩
Petites astuces
🔗 Pour ouvrir les liens dans le navigateur principal sans avoir de popin a chaque clic, dans about:config
passer security.external_protocol_requires_permission à false
:i3wm: On peut masquer la barre d’icônes pour avoir une app minimaliste dans i3, dans about:config
passer firefoxpwa.enableHidingIconBar à true
:librewolf: Ça marche avec #LibreWolf via des liens symboliques :
Pour mon #introduction, ces quelques mots à propos de moi.
Je suis un gars cis, marié depuis 12 ans, tout juste quinqua, pas papa. J'aime la marche, la montagne, les oiseaux, les soirées en extérieur autour d'un feu, les livres de Jack London, J.R.R Tolkien, Alain Damasio ou Sabrina Calvo.
Dans l'informatique depuis 25 ans, libriste convaincu (#linuxmint#librewolf).Je suis présent sur Mastodon en tant que @Beanface42 depuis quelques temps déjà, pas gamer pour deux ronds mais adepte des échecs.
J'espère trouver ici un écrin laissant plus de place à des écrits un poil plus longs (3000 signes, c'est Byzance!) et bardé d'emojis quand je fais une crise d'emojite, :neofox_amogus:
"This article isn't specifically about #privacy issues only, it's about promises that are being broken, which might be about privacy. It is also about the lack of user freedom, as in the choice to enable or disable features, such as automatic updates, or forced usage of third party services, or software that the user generally is unaware of or don't have a say about."
"Since Homebrew is supported why not Macports too?"
Me: a MacPorts maintainer, "maybe because MacPorts actually builds things from source and Homebrew thinks its OK to just be a wrapper to installing a DMG?"
That's not building jack it.sh from source. I guess it does have a little smarts insomuch as it will determine if it is Intel or Apple Silicon (meanwhile, MacPorts still supports PPC/G4/G5/etc. vintage systems. Because: it actually BUILDS THINGS FROM SOURCE, it's not a precompiled binary distribution platform.).
What a bad joke Homebrew is.
Alas, LibreWolf's build instructions are uhhh, well they don't build on macOS, they cross compile from ???
Which reads: "Archived project! Repository and other project resources are read-only"
I sincerely have no idea how people on macOS build LibreWolf from source, from the project documentation itself. Homebrew, is of zero assistance, because Homebrew: also does not build LibreWolf from source.
Is there a smart way to store browser #bookmarks (internet addresses) that is completely independent of the browser used to access those addresses? The use case is in #nixos when #firefox is broken but I have stored my bookmarks on-line with them to make them available on any device I log into with my firefox account. Can one set up a cloud or home NAS or server bookmarks service that stores the addresses & makes them seamlessly available in #librewolf#brave etc. when logged in to that server?
Ci sono più motivi, alcuni più controversi di altri ma uno che mi sembra ugualmente condivisibile è questo: manteniamo per tutti la possibilità di scegliere.
