Ah interesting. I’m on my #Linux laptop rn, and my main browser on there is #Brave, but on my #Windows10 machine my primary browser is #Librewolf, which works with #Twitch fine.

( #Firefox has the best #UX IMHO but I have to use #Chromium based browsers on #Linux machines with limited hardware because something about the hardware acceleration causes CPU bottlenecks and turning it off doesn’t work)

The apps I tried running as non-Steam games where #Firefox and #Konsole.

In the browser case, the fiasco came from the difficulty in using the touchpad and open menus, with the position of the cursor periodically resetting with the screen flashing (no idea what that's supposed to mean). I'm not sure if this is #Firefox doing something wrong in this unexpected environment, or some issue with the hardware or configuration.

Consent-O-Matic is a browser extension that auto-responds to all the #GDPR and similar consent popups with optimal user preferences.

Unlike the extension "I don't care about cookies" which just accepts all cookies, Consent-O-Matic clicks the prompts on your behalf to reject most of the cookies. You can also choose what to accept/reject in the preferences.

Available for Firefox, Chrome and others.

I've been using this on Firefox :firefox: for quite sometime now and it works great!

Troverei utile avere la possibilità di attivare nella finestra di conferma di #KDE una doppia conferma .. o anche solo prevedere una latenza prima che la finestra accetti la conferma (come avviene in certe finestre di #Firefox, ad esempio).

Last week on Hacker News, an article (https://www.bitestring.com/posts/2023-03-19-web-fingerprinting-is-worse-than-I-thought.html) was advocating for enabling #Firefox's "privacy.resistFingerprinting" setting to defeat #fingerprinting.
Well, after a week of use, I now understand why it's still hidden in about:config: it breaks too many things.

This time, #Firefox pretended something went wrong.

I really wish I had viable alternatives to Firefox on Linux (that aren't Chrome or Chromium :eyeroll:​ ). Between this crap and that crap, I'm just desperate for a browser that does its job, stays out of my way, and doesn't pull this crap.

Screenshot of Firefox. White background with black text. Headline reads: "Gah. Your tab just crashed."
Below this heading in a smaller heading, it reads "We can help!"

Below this is a text in normal font size that says "Choose Restore This Tab or Restore All Crashed Tabs to reload the page/pages."

Below these are three buttons for Close Tab, Restore This Tab, and Restore All Crashed Tabs.

Regarding #Mozilla and #AI: In a different world, they would have persisted with #ubiquity and thus AI could seamlessly integrate into #Firefox. Despite claims to the contrary about the impact #artificialintelligence will have on the Internet, it will be deployed, for the most part, at OS level. To make it compelling to a browser, you'd need something like a profile in the cloud. But for that you'd need tab groups and Firefox doesn't have them in any form.

I just found the #Firefox Developer Edition's style editor. Embarrassed I wasn’t aware of this sooner. Now I know. Really speeding up my “let’s throw some properties into the stylesheet until it works” styling process.

The Firefox Developer’s Edition has a Style Editor that allows you to fiddle with css dynamically, then copy it over to your code. Shown is a screenshot of a browser window, with two additional tabs along the right. The first is a stylesheet file browser, and the second is the stylesheet itself. You can edit the stylesheet and see the results immediately in the browser window.

@anze3db Alternatively, in your #Firefox browser, toggle `privacy.resistFingerprinting` to `True`, thence all time-based tabs will reset to a UTC basis.

Much cheaper!

#TodayILearned that #FireFox can copy text from inside images.

A screenshot of the Wikipedia page for a stop sign. It shows me right-clicking on a photo of a stop sign and selecting, "Copy text from image"
A screenshot in FireFox of a pop-up saying, "Text copied from image: STOP"

It took roughly 1 second to startup #Firefox (#Snap) on a cheap 550€ laptop I bought in 2017.

People keep saying it takes 3 seconds. Either they've improved upon #Snaps tremendeously on #Ubuntu OR it's just a blatant lie OR they're using archaic hardware if mine is 5 years old by now and a budget laptop...

Snaps are not that bad, folks... Don't worry about the "infamous startup times", they're exaggerated.

As much as people despise #Snaps in #Ubuntu and lament their slow start-up speed, I disagree.
I have an old cheap laptop and while not blazing fast, I feel as if #Firefox launches relatively quickly. I didn't time it but didn't feel like it's taking forever and it's just good that the apps stay updated and there's no messing with dependencies.

And I hear you, coming out of the woodworks:
"But what about #Flatpak?!"

Listen. Snaps have their own benefits (especially on the server).

Thought about the #Firefox Relay email aliasing service. It has the option for a custom domain where you can just make up a new alias on the fly without logging into the service, and as long as the custom domain at the end is a valid one, it'll generate it when it receives an email. So for example your email address for mastodon could be "mastodon@someuser.mozmail.com". Well, if any account using an address with that domain gets compromised, the your whole custom domain is done. 1/

#Chromium landed support for fractional scaling on #Wayland a couple of days ago. It was reverted again today. Reason for revert: This change completely broke Chromium Ozone/Wayland on compositors that support fractional-scale-v1.

@Jeremiah Agreed. AND ALSO... Some of us have to use Chromium-based browsers because the systems we work in don't support Mozilla, but that doesn't mean you have to stay in Google's surveillance funhouse. I use @Vivaldi on desktop which works just like Chrome without all the Googliness. It works with the Chrome App Store extensions as well. Though on #Android, #Firefox is hands-down the best browser.
