Alright I now regret using #Firefox. Not because #Mozilla did shoot with the source code. Because its blocker doesn't protect my #privacy. I also regret reading about ADHD on my Android phone on #Chrome or even having a normal #Android phone.
Last week I read about ADHD on the web using Android's stock Chrome, now Google ads is showing me advertisements about ADHD. Down with you Google.
If anyone cares about their privacy, they should avoid #Google like #plague It's a pity still people use the services it offers including the search engine.
The #Web has become a bad and creepy place. For now I'm switching to #LibreWolf.
Por cosas como estas uso #Firefox como navegador principal en todos mis dispositivos.
Here are comments on the evolution of browser share in a year.
(The three samples are heavily skewed to English-speaking higher eds.)
Last year results: https://techhub.social/@estelle/112047924116566034
You may still answer in the previous toot.
3/4 Fediverse members use #Firefox proper. Same as last year.
We welcome other parts of the Firefox family (any browser with Gecko inside):
• The share of Librewolf mentions doubled since last year.
• The share of other Gecko-based forks mentions also doubled since last year. (Even though some Waterfox usage is not logged because i did not list it.)
The shares of Chrome and Vivaldi were stable for the first thousand answerers (maybe more IT inclined) but doubled with the later thousand (in the last 24 hours).
The share of the last line (Opera-Blink-Brave mentions) decreased since last year.
Wake up babes, new web browser engine benchmark just dropped (a fintech banking website's CPU-devouring front page text carousel):

Most people don't need to pay for a VPN. Use #Firefox instead of #GoogleChrome, install #uBlockOrigin, and be free of adverts in English or any other language. You'll also be safer, because adverts sometimes contain malicious code that can harm your computer or steal secrets like credit card numbers and home banking credentials.
Lost your Firefox tab groups after the latest update? You’re not alone—and there is a fix!
Don’t let your workflow collapse. Get your tabs back in order now #Firefox #BrowserFix #TabGroups #TechHelp
I tried Vivaldi on mobile, and within a few minutes I deleted Firefox and won't look back anymore.
But it's not about whatever recent issues others have with Firefox; frankly none of it are directly impeding my usage, so I just shrug it off.
It all came down to Vivaldi using up less memory than Firefox. It's what made me look for a new browser anyway.
And just with that I'm already satisfied with the new browser. All other features are just a nice bonus.
TIL this about #Firefox in private browsing mode:
> If the PDF is opened rather than saved, the downloaded file is considered temporary and will be deleted at the end of the private session. You need to manually save the PDF for it to be preserved. [1]
Well-intentioned, but rather counter-intuitive since it shows the file as both downloaded and stored in a specific location. Seems like at minimum the PDF viewer should display a warning banner.
Anyone remember the time when Chrome was considered a resource hog (mostly because it had better isolation between tabs)
I feel #Firefox is worse now. I run #Chromium too but firefox does seem to deteriorate more than #Chromium
Having had firefox get killed by the OS I've just done a "swapoff -a; swapon -a" to make the system more responsive again
There are some simple things I want out of life, alongside my dreams. And my clicker games not lagging whenever I play one with #nvda and #firefox is one of them. Can anyone tell me how to fix this with firefox. When I click a clicker, the whole page, on most every one of these lags for some reason, sometimes for 30 seconds or more. and the page elements also lag it, especially it there are a lot of buttons, but sometimes if there aren't.
Which browsers do you use?
• Multiple choice to account for various usage and any device (pro & perso)
• You may boost to enlarge the sample
Am I crazy for considering modifying the #Mozilla #Firefox code and recompiling just to get #emacs -like shortcuts? Even just ctrl-s for search and ctrl-w for cut (or at least turning off ctrl-w = close the window) would be huge time savers and "oops" removers.
Supposedly there are ways to add some #javascript to dirs to make these changes, but honestly, it seems more difficult than tweaking & recompiling.
Seems that extensions can't get deep enough to change some shortcuts.
Before I read, my guess is it won't be asking for Google to keep Chrome (because of that sweet sweet Google money), but won't be a really anti-Google blog entry. Presumably very wishy-washy.
Now I'll read it and see how off I was.
Lol, she's more concerned about the Google millions they get every year. Pathetic.

Quite liking the switch to vertical tabs and tab groups in Firefox.

TIL that the most recent Firefox will now show the font licensing information in the inspector. Nice!
