Hobs :archlinux: :kde: :linux:Why I removed <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a> as my default browser.

Estelle PlatiniHere 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: <a href="https://techhub.social/@estelle/112047924116566034" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://techhub.social/@estelle/112047924116566034</a> You may still answer in the previous toot.3/4 Fediverse members use <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> 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.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/browsers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#browsers</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/webDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webDev</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poll</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/browserPoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#browserPoll</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/compartments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compartments</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Safari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Safari</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SafariBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SafariBrowser</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Librewolf</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chrome</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vivaldi</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/VivaldiBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VivaldiBrowser</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Edge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Edge</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/EdgeBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EdgeBrowser</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ungoogledChromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ungoogledChromium</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ungoogled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ungoogled</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Chromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chromium</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Brave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brave</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/BraveBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BraveBrowser</a>

C++ Wage Slave<a href="https://mastodon.social/@anon_opin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@anon_opin</a> Most people don't need to pay for a VPN. Use <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> instead of <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GoogleChrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleChrome</a>, install <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/uBlockOrigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uBlockOrigin</a>, 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.

adrianI 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.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vivaldi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a>

Erik MoellerTIL this about <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> 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.<a href="https://social.coop/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a>[1] <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1443596" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1443596</a>

atro_cityBefore 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.

Jeff Fortin T.It's a bit annoying that none of the main web browsers out there (tried Firefox, Epiphany, Chromium) respect "canonical" link elements (RFC 6596) to get the official page URL (without all the decorative or tracking garbage) for proper bookmarking without duplication.My enhancement request in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GNOMEWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNOMEWeb</a>: <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2379" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2379</a>In <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a>, to work around <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502418" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502418</a> I had to install an extension: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/canonical-link/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/canonical-link/</a>

Erik van Straten<a href="https://mastodon.nl/@sjmulder" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sjmulder</a> : door verschillende browsers te gebruiken heb ik daar minder last van. Vooral Firefox met NoScript (meestal op mijn Android smartphone) geeft mij enorm veel rust. Soms kan ik pagina's met paywall geheel of grotendeels lezen (zie screenshot).Je hebt wel een leercurve voor NoScript en Firefox heeft ook nadelen (zie bijv. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/114341143568071368" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/114341143568071368</a> en de follow-up toot over NoScript).Vaak werkt het als je de primaire partij toestemming geeft om JavaScript uit te voeren, maar derde partijen niet toestaat (waaronder 3rd parties met namen waar "cookiebot" in vóórkomt).Firefox Focus ondersteunt geen NoScript, maar is het meest privacy-vriendelijk doordat alle geschiedenis gewist wordt bij het sluiten van de browser. Sowieso belangrijk, maar in deze browser helemaal (omdat HSTS niet werkt): zet "https only" aan. Dat betekent dat je *gewaarschuwd* wordt bij onveilige http-verbindingen, die je vervolgens wél kunt toestaan.Wat ook helpt is als tooters geen "URL-verkorters" gebruiken, zodat je kunt zien naar welke website de link leidt.Ten slotte probeer ik vaak het m.i. belangrijkste stuk te quoten, of een screenshot te plaatsen (zo mogelijk mét Alt tekst). Dan HOEVEN lezers niet op links te klikken/drukken.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NoScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoScript</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Paywall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paywall</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Javascript</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ThirdParties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThirdParties</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ThirdParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThirdParty</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Spionage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spionage</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Meekijkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meekijkers</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Gluurders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gluurders</a>
