Giving the Waterfox browser a try. I like Firefox but it seems to be starting to get a little bloaty, and I want to continue using a browser that’s not Chromium based. Waterfox is basically an even more privacy-oriented fork of Mozilla’s Gecko, but not to the point of breaking the web like some highly privacy-oriented browsers might.
After importing all my bookmarks and settings, installing my usual extensions, and even recreating my custom theme in Firefox Color, Waterfox is visually identical to my Firefox experience, just minus the analytical tracking in the background. And I have full access to Firefox extensions and themes. Using Waterfox from here on out seems like an easy decision. It even has some features that Firefox doesn’t.
I am excited and honored to announce that I am now an official Ambassador for the @Vivaldi web browser!
This is a browser I've been using for about 8 months now and absolutely love everything about the browser itself as well as the team that makes it and the community they have built.
I couldn't be happier to endorse a browser that works as great and as quick as Vivaldi!
Started playing with Lynx CLI web browser again. It's amazing how well it renders pages.
However, is there a way for it to only load the body of an page? Or remove headers? #lynx#debian#linux#webbrowser
I think #Vivaldi#webbrowser satisfies me.
Had an situation last nite that forced me to format my old laptop and reinstall #Linux#Mints and reinstalled Vivaldi: all the passwords and favorite sites were there. I almost had nothing else to do to configure it. Love it! #Internet
Just discovered a new Firefox trick: Three-finger tapping the New Tab button searches the last (or currently) selected text in the default search engine.
Years ago Google set a deadline for dropping support for third party cookies in Chrome. But this commitment has been pushed back multiple times. I simply switched to Safari years back which actually did meet this commitment and it has been great not being tracked. Websites still work normally. Now Google is claiming their Privacy Sandbox project is moving forward and 1% of users will not be tracked to start. Another tracking system will replace it. If you’d rather not be tracked you have other options. #Privacy#WebBrowser https://apple.news/AXx9xpCnyQ-epQzO9nnTi3g
"In this #paper, we introduce new #algorithms for #CSS selector matching, layout solving, and font rendering, which represent key components for a fast layout engine. Evaluation on popular sites shows speedups as high as 80x. We also formulate the layout problem with attribute grammars, enabling us to not only parallelize our algorithm but prove that it computes in O(log) time and without reflow."
