Firefox works great.
Nah

(Web 2.0 and it’s consequences…)
Why I dislike web apps. They make the devs lazy enough to not bother making a native app
Why even make a desktop app at this point? I get doing that if it has some inherent advantage over the web version, but why go through the trouble of making another program if it’s just gonna be the same but in electron?
Example with Discord (a website and an electron app): You have to download the desktop app to have stuff like: game activity (show others what game you are playing), global hotkeys for stuff like muting microphone, local Krisp noise cancellation
download Librewolf
Look inside
It’s Firefox but with good defaults and configs
:3
I switched to Firefox because of Googlea plans to stop adblockers.
Firefox and Forks, or perish.
I still prefer FF or Vivaldi over Google Chrome. Yes Vivaldi is Open Source Chromium, but at least it doesn’t have the Chrome crap in it.
It’s still the same rendering engine. There are two browsers.
3 if you count Safari
I tried Vivaldi, it’s a good browser but I prefer Brave because it has build it Tor. In my country most torrent sites are blocked so a built-in Tor is useful to me, it can open those sites without VPN.
Firefox/Librefix, Vivaldi, Floorp
If you’re not a fan of Firefox right now, with the few odd decisions they’ve been making, try Floorp or Zen. They’re quite good forks of Firefox and don’t seem to have any of the recent Firefox oddness in them.
I shall not stoop so low as to using a browser named ““floorp””.
Chrome is a stupid name too. Edge is a stupid name.
Both of these are existing words, though
why floorp??
Not even an option.
What, because of the stupid name?
the devs are fucked
Well… I know it’s chromium, but I have to admit Vivaldi is easily my favorite browser. It’s got a bunch of fairly unique features that I just can’t live without. It’s got tabs within tabs, tab tiling, a whole side car for websites that you can display while working on whatever Web page you need (works great for social media, music, messaging). I don’t have a link, but maybe worth checking it out.
tabs within tabs
I use the Firefox “Tab Groups” Extension to get a similar result and I have to agree, it is so nice to keep order
I prefer the Firefox “Tab Groups” Feature actually because I feel it’s more comfortable / has a more clear separation AND:
It automatically freezes tabs and integrates with containers (kind of like browser profiles on Chromium but in the same Window)
Fair enough. I’m relatively sure that Vivaldi does the same freezing, however I haven’t seen documentation around it and I’m too lazy to look it up. I can say that tabs that haven’t been used in a while reload entirely when you switch to them.
But I do like Firefox’s privacy. Limiting cookies to only cookies from that website is a nice touch.
is there a way to force dark mode like in chromium? #enable-force-dark has been a life saver for me. I have a TBI and white screens are physically painful. I keep trying to go back to FireFox, but none of the darkmode addons seem to have this kind of always on, no exceptions kind of feature
So, you haven’t used the “Dark Reader” extension on Firefox. It has “automatic”, “scheduled”, “system default” options. Also you can disable or enable dark mode for specific websites.
I don’t need the ability to disable I need it to be always on no matter what. This is exactly the extention I was complaining about. This one doesnt work on extentions.firefox.org
I want to get more points in speedometer 3 using firefox. I’ve seen results above 20-24, but I can’t get more than 12 because js takes a long time to process. What to do? Rebuild firefox with the -0fast flag??
Any suggestions are welcome
