@kde@kde Guess what, Firefox does the same thing (a refresh will reset your privacy settings and your default browser, all of which affect Mozilla’s revenue streams) but they’re a tad sneakier/cleverer(?) about it.
(Firefox is not private by default so getting you to reset your settings is how they try to influence you to return to their preferred configuration.)
The scripts in this self-hosting guide will create 9 containers: one TLS-offloading proxy, 6 services which run on various ports, and two supporting ones, which are not publically accessible:" Geeze, all I want is to setup my own #Firefox account server, what is this 9 service containers nonsense? https://github.com/michielbdejong/fxa-self-hosting
After a search in the NetBSD packages for lightweight web browsers, the winners are: vimb, dillo, luakit and netsurf.
Dillo's new release 3.1.0 still hasn't landed, so no HTTPS there. Luakit is very neat, extremely lightweight, minimal, has vim-like bindings and would be perfect if it weren't for the constant white flashing between each pageload when using a custom, darker CSS. NetSurf is also quite neat, with tab support for heavier sessions.
The winner for me is vimb, which although leaving tabs to the window manager, has vim-like bindings, is pretty minimal and does not cause flashing when switching between pages on a custom darker CSS setting.
Honor mention to Arctic Fox, a Pale Moon clone that hits peak nostalgia with the pre-omnibar Firefox look. No theming, not as lightweight, but going strong at 29.5k commits since 2018.
In this one, we have #Firefox adding some data collection (but it's fine, IMO), we have a ton of stuff happening around AI, and it's still an absolute nightmare, we have the Linux Kernel 6.9 (nice), and #France banning #TikTok in one of its territories, which alarmed a bunch of human rights / freedom associations:
The search for a slim, fast and modern browser might have come to an end. Ungoogled-chromium feels just like what I want. Even better than Vivaldi. But the setup process is a bit more nerdy.
Setzt "browser.translations.select.enable" unter about:config in #Firefox 126 auf true, dann bekommt ihr schon jetzt die native selektive Übersetzungsfunktion!
Dans les notes de version de #Firefox 126 : la possibilité de copier une url dans la barre d'adresse en supprimant tous les paramètres de suivi/pistage.
(cette url a d'ailleurs été obtenue en utilisant cette option, supprimant la chaîne "/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_campaign=about-dialog".
Un UTM (ou Urchin Tracking Module) est un paramètre d'URL qui effectue le suivi d'une campagne marketing, par exemple : provenance, canal...)
Few months back #Microsoft Teams stopped supporting #Linux, and their nasty argument was "you can use our web app from your browser". Today I got this in my browser which is #Firefox.
Unfortunately I have to use Microsoft Teams because my university and the audience all have contract with Microsoft 🙄
Yeah, keep fooling yourself that :microsoft: ❤️ :linux:
By blocking TwiXter since it switched to “X dot com” hours ago, Mozilla Firefox prove once more it is the superior web browser and that Mozilla care about your mental health.
O, ex-#Twitter znowu ma problemy u niektorych osob - u jednych nie dziala bez zadnego dokladniejszego komunikatu, a u innych ponoc problemem jest wlaczona ochrona sledzenia w #Firefox 🙃
WTF is wrong with the people at #Mozilla? I don’t care how much they say they’ve anonymized the personal data #Firefox grabs - this just makes them look like every other privacy-invading enshittified company.
A #Mozilla continua na sua senda de afugentar todos os utilizadores que ainda confiam no #Firefox: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-search-update/

The funny part about the removal of networking from the default #keepassxc package on #debian, is that they did it for "security" reasons, without thinking that the MOST INSECURE way to transfer a #password to your #browser is via the CLIPBOARD. Absolutely every running app or service can read the clipboard! And yet, that's the default way they expect users to do it now!
