@servus @chalinebang "If my phone is so smart, why am I only doing dumb stuff with it?"

I've been wondering this since smartphones first became a thing. We had the technology to put computers in our pockets and the best we could do was run horribly limited toy versions of the software we already had on desktop and laptop systems for decades. I'm so glad #postmarketOS exists. Typing from #Librewolf on my pmOS OnePlus 6T, which actually feels like a true pocket computer.

Here are comments on the evolution of browser share in a year.
(The three samples are heavily skewed to English-speaking higher eds.)

You may still answer in the previous toot.

3/4 Fediverse members use #Firefox proper. Same as last year.
We welcome other parts of the Firefox family (any browser with Gecko inside):
• The share of Librewolf mentions doubled since last year.
• The share of other Gecko-based forks mentions also doubled since last year. (Even though some Waterfox usage is not logged because i did not list it.)

The shares of Chrome and Vivaldi were stable for the first thousand answerers (maybe more IT inclined) but doubled with the later thousand (in the last 24 hours).

The share of the last line (Opera-Blink-Brave mentions) decreased since last year.

Does anyone also has an issue with #librewolf not remembering the history and last session? It was working fine until it stopped.
This happens across devices too, on Debian and Windows. I can't find a reason to it.
I am using mozilla account to sync history etc., don't know if that is important but at this point I am out of ideas.
Having failed resolving that issue, since FF is out of the question, are there any ethical or privacy issues regarding Vivaldi? I'd rather not use Chromium based thing at all but LibreWolf's shenanigans are becoming a serious issue to me.

Been using #KDE Okular as my default pdf reader on #Linux, and just worked out that there's a setting that allows you to specify dark and light colours, meaning you can read pdfs in #DarkMode. No more having to put sunglasses on to read manuals! And you can assign it to a keyboard shortcut, so I've set it to the same as #DarkReader in #LibreWolf.
I love it when Linux Just Works.

New weird issue I've run into with #Librewolf on #postmarketOS / #AlpineLinux - the latest version in the Alpine repository doesn't want to play any videos. I've tried on both YouTube and several Peertube instances and videos just sit at an endless spinner. Audio works fine, playing music from my Subsonic server works no problem. I installed the #Flatpak version and symlinked my profile directories, it plays video just fine using the same profile.
