Welcome back to the ThunderCast: Episode 2 is READY!
We welcome special #Mozilla guest @mconley, a software mechanic, musician, livestreamer, and self-described “pre-internet phenomenon” among many other awesome things.
Join us for a great conversation full of nostalgia, a behind-the-scenes look at some great Firefox features, and much more!
So, I use both the #uMatrix and #NoScript plug-ins in my #Firefox browser, which lets me filter out most scammy spy-crap (and ads).
But they also show me websites in a way most people never see. I see exactly what kinds of crap the creators felt okay with sticking into the site.
Literally 99.9% of sites use Google Analytics, Fonts.GoogleAPIs, GoogleTagManager, and/or the Gstatic library. I never allow any of them, and guess what?
I want to talk with some blind people about firefox, and why most folks here over on mastodon say it's the best browser.
I want to spark a debate here.
Ich konsterniere immer mehr bei der Frage von Linux-Distros für Nicht-Geeks. Der Text erklärt das gut: Distros, die vorgeben, einsteigerfreundlich zu sein, und dann bricht doch etwas zu stark, sind konzeptionell ein Irrweg. Das hilft am Ende niemandem.
Das mit Snap ist schon eine skurrile Entwicklung.
Warum in #Ubuntu und #Derivaten inzwischen selbst Core-Software wie #Firefox nicht mehr als #Paketversion gepflegt wird, sondern der Weg über #Snap, verstehe ich auch nicht wirklich.
Ok, Snap-Software ist mehr wie in der #Sandbox und Paketabhängigkeiten sind einfacher aufzulösen bzw. gar nicht vorhandenen. Aber es bleibt ein Sonderweg, der eben nicht nur Vorteile hat.
「 Window managers don’t have much reason to support better controls for many browser windows until browsers start using them and browsers don’t want to invest in making a window-per-page experience better until most popular operating systems have the window management features to make it attractive 」
@jbzfn another related topic is the proper interaction of browsers with the window manager's further spatial aspects, such as virtual desktops and/or #KDEPlasma's Activities.
On top of that, browsers have similar capabilities such as #Firefox Containers or #Chrome tab groups.
I feel like there's a huge potential in terms of improving usability and standardization between browsers and window managers.
Day 1 of using my #iPad as my computer and it’s going… well? There’s obviously some huge differences like being able to Adblock on a computer vs #iOS or #iPadOS but other things, like using #Firefox (I still want you, @Vivaldi!) are the same. Most sites I use work the same or have a native app.
I finally found an hour last evening to try Tridactyl and :woah-dude:
It takes a bit to setup, and the tutorial is well worth the time.
Other than the ace-jump like navigation, my favorite thing now is Ctrl-i to edit text areas in vim - simply the best
... I don't think I can ever go back to anything else. #firefox#vim

Note: I re-posted this video today in support of @social continuing to explore the fediverse and trying to be a champion of how a responsible organization should approach social media. Good on team #mozilla and #firefox. :firefox:
Is there a #firefox plugin for browser tabs that works like the chromium based tab groups to collapse, color code, etc?
Looking more for a group instead of a container style. I've looked into Simple Tab Groups, but its more containers, and cant collapse the groups I make.
While I agree with the @fsf warning about the emblematic value of the decision by #Google to pull support for #JpegXL from #Chrome, their article <https://u.fsf.org/3z8> is as empty as could be, especially considering that #GNU#IceCat doesn't support JPEG XL either (being based on a #Firefox branch that doesn't build #JXL support in.) You want to show that #FLOSS can do without? Do it by actually supporting what you complain Google is failing to.
For #Firefox and its forks, this means enabling it out of the box for main builds. For #Blink-based browsers (@Vivaldi are you listening?), this means rolling back Google's patch to remove it, and help maintain it with community effort. Ditto for #WebKit. The #openWeb needs something like what the #DocumentFoundation did for the office productivity suites and formats.
