Also, yesterday was a busy day overall. I pushed many updates to #nwgshell, #mame, #libreoffice #firefox and even uploaded a arm64 #librewolf package. https://slackware.lngn.net/

Here are my notes about running #firejail on #Slackware #Linux to isolate Web browser applications and don’t let them access my precious data.

@mhoye @theverge the Verge puts 800 cookies in your browser when you visit their website . So ...
Concerning Chrome try the alternative #Librewolf based on firefox with settings more respectful of your privacy
@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.
Chciałem dziecięciu zasilić konto #Microsoft, ale zarówno #Librewolf, jak i #Firefox nie dały rady. Wszystko szło jak zazwyczaj, łącznie z potwierdzeniem transakcji w apce banku, po czym MS twierdził że się nie da i tyle. Dopiero sięgnięcie po #UngoogledChromium pomogło.
life hack for kde and firefox (librewolf) users:
set "widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker" to "1" to use dolphin as your file picker if its not being used by default yet.
Here are comments on the evolution of browser share in a year.
(The three samples are heavily skewed to English-speaking higher eds.)
Last year results: https://techhub.social/@estelle/112047924116566034
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.
@estelle LibreWolf's onboarding needs work. It's not made clear to the users that cookies won't be stored by default, for example. But the option to keep them is hidden here, and can be turned on or off for each domain:
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.
Which browsers do you use?

#LibreWolf v137.0.2-1 is now available!
https://codeberg.org/librewolf/bsys6/releases/tag/137.0.2-1
No major changes from LibreWolf's end. See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/137.0.2/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.
Is there a #LibreWolf plugin that automatically says "Dislike AI" to #DuckDuckGo #AI suggestions and then turns them off?
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.
I've switched to @librewolf browser. Mozilla's latest announcements have made up my mind.
#Librewolf is really the good compromise: #Security #Privacy modern #Features
If you use Firefox, you should give it a try. You can use Firefox extensions and, even, Firefox Sync if you want to sync with Firefox for few days (you need to enable this option in settings)

Ya que hoy es #ViernesDeEscritorio y no hay muchos cambios estéticos en mi sistema, muestro una captura de #LibreWolf, este gran navegador que voy a empezar a usarlo más seguido en comparación a #Firefox. Creo que es el mejor fork/base Firefox que existe actualmente.
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.
Allez, toi aussi, mets du #Librewolf dans ton ordinateur !

Anyone knows how to make #gmail the default email client in #LibreWolf ? Firefox has it as an app in options, Librewolf has empty list in the same place...
#Librewolf, #Firefox, #Thunderbird, #Microsoft #Edge and #Teams are now all running isolated using #firejail on my #Slackware laptop while installed from #AppImage, DEB files and generic binaries.
Yep, I should blog it down. But I’m not sure how to turn it given that there are some many mixed subjects there.
