Continuing to try out #edge . Like it's chromium base, split windows, ad blocking etc, vertical tabs, and work/personal split but tab groups/collections still don't work as well, or simply, as the less pretty/simpler tab groups in #safari which are good for context switching
the #EU@EU_Commission and their citizens will probably not like it that you don't give users a choice on which browsers to use for your new "search input" that can be opened from the Desktop.
Instead, with this search it seems you want to force users to use your own #Edge#browser.
But I want to use #Firefox for this new search input! So what's up with that!?
Via Rob Hansen on Facebook: "Amanda Spindel was the first to alert me to a new zero-day attack on Chrome that's now being seen in the wild. If you're running Chrome or a Chrome-derived browser like Edge or Opera, please update immediately."
(I use mostly the DuckDuckGo and Mozilla Firefox browsers.)
Ha, it is only speculating, but Linked-freaking-In not showing the preview of @Tutanota article on choosing the best #browser (hint: #Firefox), makes me a bit suspicious of intent. Article has all the #OpenGraph data.
#YouTube is making the watching experience worse on #Firefox and Microsoft Edge.
I didn't believe it the first time I heard abt it, since it sounded more like a conspiracy theory than a actual thing, but it's true. Google does add 5s timeout specifically to Firefox and Edge users when they try to watch a video on YT. If you want to know more about it, Mental Outlaw make a very good video abt it (Link: https://youtu.be/v4gXhmzQztE ). I think Google did this, to get people moving to Chrome since the majority will think this is a browser issue, nobody would expect YouTube to purposely doing this. In the attached Screenshot you can see that YouTube checks the user agent of browsers to see if it's Edge, Firefox or not. You can bypass this by changing your User agent to chrome.
Edit: Due a lot of people saying a lot of different things abt it, I want to say that I'm not 100% sure abt how exactly this works, there is a inbuild delay by Google, but who is actually affected, there are a lot of different opinions abt it. I wasn't able to verify this myself in LibreWolf, but this could be the case due my intensive hardening I did and this is just a result of what I found in the code and what Mental Outlaw and others shared across social media, if you got different or additional infos abt this feel free to comment and I suggest everyone ti also check the comment section.
@voxel@privacy This video explains that it's not just #Firefox users being affected by the delay, but #Safari, #Edge, #Brave and even #Chrome itself. It also has nothing to do solely with the #browser you use, but rather a combination of that and your #ad blocker. #Google's testing this with different groups of people, that's why changing your agent string seems to help.
📰 "Korzystanie z systemu #Windows w dzisiejszych czasach oznacza znoszenie wielu, wielu zachęt do korzystania i kupowania innych produktów firmy #Microsoft. Niektóre z nich są subtelne, jak wbudowana przeglądarka #Edge sugerująca korzystanie z jej "zalecanych ustawień" po każdej większej aktualizacji. Niektóre nie są tak subtelne, jak testowanie "quizu", który zmusił niektórych użytkowników do wyjaśnienia, dlaczego próbują zrezygnować z aplikacji #OneDrive.
Osoby mieszkające w Europejskim Obszarze Gospodarczym (#EOG) - który obejmuje #UE i dodaje Islandię, Liechtenstein i Norwegię — wkrótce zmniejszą nachalność w swoich systemach #Windows11. Aby sprostać wymaganiom ustawy Komisji Europejskiej o rynkach cyfrowych, która ma wejść w życie w marcu 2024 r., Microsoft musi ułatwić odinstalowywanie swoich aplikacji, zmianę ustawień domyślnych i unikanie prób nakłaniania ludzi do korzystania z jego usług."
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.
#Microsoft will let users uninstall #Edge, #Bing, and disable ads on #Windows11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act in the European Economic Area.
So will Google's "Manifest v3" ad-blocker death spell for Chrome also go into #Chromium and other Chrome-based browsers like @Vivaldi and #Edge?
I see a nice Firefox revival on the horizon! 🎉
First #YouTube pushing people to better ad blockers & making them so much better, now #Chrome pushing users to #Firefox... #Google is doing a lot of good stuff for the web lately! 😜
It's kind of crazy that up until June of this year, RHEL (not clone) adoption was up at work, we were in negotiations for buying Openshift, and I hadn't used any form of SUSE since 2006. Now, all previous RHEL instances are running some form of SUSE, Rancher adoption to production happened at an absolutely unreal pace. SUSE took over a little AlmaLinux ground, but not as much as AlmaLinux gained.
@vwbusguy I like CoreOS a lot. You might not know, but there is very good story with it for device edge. I have this small rig at work which runs some smaller edge boxes with Red Hat Device Edge (coreos). There is plenty to do with rh coreos, we should make it more visible. Check out image builder, you can build own variants with it. It's super! And if you look at fedora ostree variants, the usage is not shrinking.
@AAKL@andrew_writes who at #MS is making these decisions and what upper managerial performance metrics are they jumping through? This feels like some desperate product manager trying to hit 80% #edge usage statistics or something.
Creepy clingy prompts are just going to piss people off and reinforce their choice to use alternatives. So grateful that #GNUlinux is around.
Un autre problème d'#Edge est que le codec vidéo #AV1 ne soit disponible qu'en option, et uniquement sous Windows (Edge est disponible sur Android, Linux, Mac, sans possibilité de lire AV1).
Bonus: Le code de l'extension AV1 de Windows 10 ne fonctionne pas sur de vieux PC.
