I'd like to explain the world of browsers to some friends.

It was the only feature keeping me from migrating. Bye Google!

Loving this browser!

I miss Dark Reader, UBO is pre-installed, but the only way I can see to install Dark Reader is through firefox add-ons page. I'm hoping that simply going to that page to install the add-on is relatively safe, I wouldn't feel too worried visiting the mozilla website generally, but given I'm installing extensions the browser I wonder if I'm somehow undoing the good that's done switching to LibreWolf.

With recent concerns about Firefox and the mozilla corporation I am starting to wonder if I should take stock of alternatives. A common recommendation seems to be Fennec, but given what F-droid describes as anti-features, I wonder if I'm essentially replacing the problem like for like.

What do they mean? What services? Optional ones? Can it be used without connecting to any mozilla services at all?

Look at this chud video here.

It's just complaining about DEI, but why now? Apparently, Firefox has a "license" to all your data now. How much is that true? Is he just cherry-picking here, in this case? Librewolf or whatever it's called might be a better option. There's also Zen browser.

I got this in my YouTube feed and didn't know it was more anti-DEI slop and now I'm not sure what to believe. Wish they didn't have to make it so political like they accuse others of doing. Ah well. But what is this I hear about Firefox having a "license" to all your data?

I guess that's like a lot of browsers, tbh, but I suppose Firefox has higher standards, or did...

[email protected] should update the browser list why because there are a lot more browsers than the ones on the list (Chromium, Zen, Floorp, etc)

Hello! I just learned/found out you can tile tabs or split the screen in two browsers. The first browser is Vivaldi, which has tab tiling. You hold down the control button, select which tabs you'd like to tile, then right click and select tile tabs.

The second browser, that can do this (afaik, maybe there's more browsers) is Zen browser! I was not aware Zen could do this, until I did the same method in Zen as in Vivaldi. Just hold down control and select the tabs, and you can then split the tabs. Zen has the ability to split multiple tabs. Vivaldi probably does, but I only needed two. Anyways, give Zen and Vivaldi a try for tab tiling.

Do you use tab tiling? What's your opinion?

Hi to all! Recently I changed my browser from Firefox to Pale Moon on my Laptop. I've been noticing that Firefox eat a lot of my battery, being almost 80 percent of the usage. So, looking for alternative I've reached to Pale Moon Browser again (I was a user in Windows 7).

Something I'm quite don't understand is that I have issues in Facebook and in Reddit.

Facebook

• It's sluggish and delay a lot to load. Even getting the not response sign
• Can't use messenger because can't decrypt messages
• Have the sign of outdated browser (I'm using the last update of PM)

Reddit

• It struggles a lot with the new frontend. Now I'm writing from old reddit because from the new one it's almost impossible to use

YouTube

• it also struggles to load main Web and videos. It's kind of impossible to change quality

Any suggestions?

Hi. Zen Browser just released with version 1.16. It has a new feature called Zen Glance, which is pretty cool. You can preview links in the same window as if you opened that link. Press ctrl-click on a link and a window pops up showing you the link/page. You don't have to leave the page you're on either! I clicked on a video link with Zen Glance, and honestly, you could watch a video in Zen Glance while you're on the search page of youtube. I'm not sure of any other browser doing this. It's very awesome in my opinion. Anyways, that's all I wanted to share.

F-droid is telling me that there is a security vulnerability in Mull. Does anyone know what it is? F-droid doesn't provide details, and I can't find anything relevant on Mull's side either. I am assuming it is some out-of-date library but would like to know the risk?

I use Firefox on Android 11 and Windows 11. What's the best way to bypass short links and sites that make us await a certain period of time (say, 10 seconds) before proceeding? Is it Violentmonkey + Bypass all shortlinks (debloated)?

Hi guys, I've been a user of a non foss browser (kiwi) and from a foss browser (bromite, Cromite, fennec, iceraven).

The thing is that I'm looking for browser that support adblock. And also that the accessibility option it's well "optimized". In all of previous browsers, I scale the font to be bigger, but nothing happen... And worked on another browsers (vanilla chromium and ecosia for ex.)

Have a BlackBerry Keyone

Hi! I'm pretty excited about this. I just downloaded Netsurfer browser, and I have tried it in the past, but it was pretty barebones when I did. Recently, it's been improving very nicely. It now has adblock and it now has bookmarks! I'm thrilled that it finally has bookmarks. I might just use it as my main temporarily now. Has anyone given Netsurfer a try?

I don't normally use Firefox forks but this one is really good!

It is currently in alpha.

People have stopped recommending it saying it's slow and clunky. Is brave better than Firefox ? I am talking mainly about pc.

P.S.- as of march 1 , mozilla has changed their policy.

Google Chrome is now encouraging uBlock Origin users who have updated to the latest version to switch to other ad blockers before Manifest v2 extensions are disabled.

As uBlock Origin lead developer and maintainer Raymond Hill explained on Friday, this is the result of Google deprecating support for the Manifest v2 (MV2) extensions platform in favor of Manifest v3 (MV3).

"uBO is a Manifest v2 extension, hence the warning in your Google Chrome browser. There is no Manifest v3 version of uBO, hence the browser will suggest alternative extensions as a replacement for uBO," Hill explained.

"uBO Lite (uBOL) is a pared-down version of uBO with a best effort at converting filter lists used by uBO into a Manifest v3-compliant approach, with a focus on reliability and efficiency as has been the case with uBO since first published in June 2014."

Google Chrome users are also warned to remove or replace the uBlock Origin ad blocker with similar extensions.

A "Find alternative" link also sends them to this Chrome Web Store page, which advises them to switch to uBO Lite, Adblock Plus, Stands AdBlocker, or Ghostery.

Hello! I've posted about the Arc browser before, and the browser just got an update. I went into settings to see if any of the google stuff was there, and it mustve got removed, because they revamped the whole thing. You can customize your browser card now, and edit your arc account. I'm very glad they removed (or hid) most of the google stuff.

Hi! I'm learning web development from a video and in the video, the guy installs an addon for chrome called HTML5 Outliner. I'm either using Librewolf or Ungoogled Chromium as my main browser, and I can't seem to install the addon in Ungoogled Chromium. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there a setting in Ungoogled Chromium that I need to enable? Anyone know how to bypass this and install the addon?
