Duck Duck Go, Brave and Vivaldi. I'm de-firefoxing.

With knives.... thought that meant they were planning on 'fighting' it.

The picture missed Google's hand of money paying Firefox

Do you let it slide or turn it into dinner debate? in c/[email protected]

I avoid it like the plague. Only a few people know my stance and as far as I am aware of its only people that interact with me outside of the internet. I'm not looking to change my mind and others aren't either. Changing one person to my thinking won't change anything and me changing to someone else's thinking won't change anything.

Congratulations to a partnerships success coming from Google's payment being Firefox's main source of income.....

Internet Connection Issue after Fresh Install in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I actually just did a fresh install and looks like I overlooked adding essential programs step in the wiki. I added iwd before but I also just added NetworkManager. Also thought it best to just put a DE on it instead only running a WM, (I'm normally a awesome wm user on Debian). Before I was going straight from grub install completion to tty. After I started NetworkManager pinging to archlinux.org worked. Maybe sometime I can try to install it again but leave out the DE and see if it was just as simple as leaving out NetworkManager. Not sure of installing a DE would have provided needed programs for my situation or not.

Internet Connection Issue after Fresh Install (lemmy.world)
 

Running into an issue where I have no internet connection. I've put iwd so I cam use iwctl for the wifi, enabled iwd.service, syatemd.resolv service and not sure what else i need to do. Ethernet doesn't work either but i didnt change the settings to UP on it since i wasnt planning on using it. Did chroot from what I read in the manual and no errors that I saw during the base install. Just trying to find the best way to fix lack of internet connectivity so any guidance on the issue would be appreciated.

Installing the Arch way and is new for me and this is the farthest I've gotten. I used to use the archinstall in the past but I'm not using that anymore.

Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome, such as uBlock Origin – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox in c/[email protected]

A web extension isn't going to be that much of a game changer for Firefox. Usage is down, new profile rate is down, concerning financials towards Firefox and this issue has been ongoing for sometime with ublock. This isn't meant to diss ublock though.

I don't have much hope for Mozilla attracting more users to make userbase count impact. Hopefully overpaid execs proves my pessimism wrong about my favorite browser.

How? If you would have said Chromium based era, then sure, possible. Internet Explorer for 64 bit was officially retired June 15, 2022 and permanently disabled through an Edge update.

Good luck. If you lean one way or another you are already biased. Inescapable.

So what? Is it your responsibility to lead someone away from bias because you simply state you are on the left on the political spectrum?

Firefox and Google (lemmy.world)
 

Curious what others' thoughts are about the monopoly ruling for Google and potential effects on Firefox. Last I knew the fix was not determined yet, but with Firefox's main source of income being from Google paying them to Goolge their default search, makes me wonder if lawsuits like this could actually backfire on current competition and not actually produce a more competitive environment. Not sure how Firefox could recover if the courts ruling would be Google can't make these deals.
