Some developers have picked up the Mull source code and they're continuing development under the name Ironfox.

I'm a little tired of seeing posts about #Vivaldi on #Fediverse that almost always include a mention of "I don't use it because it's #Chromium".

For the sake of both our mental health, I think they should talk about why they use #Firefox rather than why they don't use Vivaldi.

Ok, what #browser alternatives are out there?

currently I'm using #Firefox (despite Mozilla), but it is slow and seems to go down the AI drain.

#Chrome is out (don't need even worse spyware).

My requirements would be
- (Arch)Linux, Windows is optional
- Fast rendering
- Working AdBlocker!
- No phoning home
- Not run by racist/transphobic assholes!
- Regular security updates

Am I looking for Unobtainium here?

What do #FireFox users want from #Mozilla?

Mozilla introduced an AI assistant extension for Firefox that can summarize web content and answer general questions.

#Firefox massive slowdown bug in 133, clearly this must not affect everyone, but it's bad enough if it does turn out to affect you that I'd advise not updating to 133.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1935804

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1935456

in my case, when affected, my entire system slows to a crawl. my wild-ass guess after using my affected system and reading these bug reports is that something is generating a lot of work for my window manager, because Cinnamon-related functions are impacted. #mozilla

I'm mostly curious how performance regressions this bad make it all the way to shipping versions of #firefox, mozilla must really be circling the drain.

@Vivaldi I noticed something.
"In theory" Chromium is "faster" than Firefox, at least it scores higher on benchmarks.
But in practice...

I noticed that Vivaldi often struggles to type text in text fields, comment boxes in forums, on Youtube, etc.
But Firefox don't... text never lags there.

Is there a reason why text input is so heavy on Chromium/Vivaldi?
Is it because of some settings I enabled, like "GPU Rasterization"?
Can something be done about this?

@vsa @mikeTesteLinux @geofftc @ricardo @nixCraft I just wanted to inform everybody in this thread about the fact that Firefox might go bankrupt very soon and is now trying to become some kind of weird AI company. You have been warned. So in any case, pick a fork you love while you still can. #firefox #ai #bankrupt #fork

Mozilla recently announced a new partnership with Ecosia. While the official announcement highlighted Ecosia's commitment to sustainability and social impact, it did not disclose specific details.

#mozilla #ecosia #search #firefox #sustainability

Anyone have an issue where on Windows #firefox just stops responding? I face it from time to time.

#archlinux gets $600K in funding (from the usual German foundation, of course), #Firefox drops Do Not Track and #Flathub is being separated from the #GNOME foundation into its own entity: time for the #linux and #OpenSource News video!

https://youtu.be/NVdq8JNtk5E

Firefox, one of the first “Do Not Track” supporters, no longer offers it.

It was more than useless. Websites did not have to honor it and in fact would use it as one more point of entropy for fingerprinting your identity.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/12/firefox-one-of-the-first-do-not-track-supporters-no-longer-offers-it/

#news #tech #technology #security #privacy #mozilla #firefox

So apparently the #DoNotTrack (DNT) signal is legally recognized in #Germany, citing the #GDPR and arguing that DNT is a "valid objection" to the "processing of personal data". IANAL, but I find this ruling potentially problematic. ​​

We know that IP addresses are "personal data"; it is explicitly included as an example by the GDPR. This along with the ruling has some chilling ramifications. If my understanding is correct, it means a website cannot use a CDN to optimize serving its content based on the user's location, because that would be "processing of personal data" (the IP address). And it's not like a website could just "opt-out" of Germany; even the very act of opting-out would be a GDPR violation, because again you're processing a user's IP address in order to show the geolocation notice of content being blocked for Germany. Show the content if the German user has signalled DNT? Still a GDPR violation (the DNT signal can act as an identifier which makes it "personal data" along with the German IP) ​​

This ambiguity of how to interpret DNT makes me happy that #Mozilla is finally going to ditch it in #Firefox in favor of #GlobalPrivacyControl (GPC) which has a clearer and limited definition while still covering what privacy-conscious users really want in the first place: not wanting their data sold and shared to advertisers. It's just legally difficult to "prohibit tracking" when a user says so; should ETag not be included and performance be sacrificed because they can be used for tracking like a cookie? But then if an ETag is not included that would create a data point that can be tracked then? ​​

Let tracking be defeated by technical solutions (private browsing/incognito mode, content blockers like uBlock Origin, and proxy software if you really need it). Political solutions are much more appropriate elsewhere like the selling and sharing of data. ​​

I had this setting on in #firefox and it actually worked, one of my shopping sites sent me an email saying they processed my do not sell my data request.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control

#Firefox
Mozilla retire la fonctionnalité "Do not track" (DNT) de Firefox.
D'un côté je dirais: Fonchier.
D'un autre côté, on sait très bien que les sites web n'en ont absolument rien à foutre.

Y a des experts systèmes ici qui déploient des extensions via les policies de #Firefox ?

Je n'arrive pas à trouver comment contraindre l'extension à fonctionner en navigation privée.

Les templates #Policies pour Firefox sont ici : https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#extensionsettings

Again, Firefox is causing a huge battery drain on my Android device when it's not running. I've set everything up so that it has no chance of running in the background, yet last night I saw a 6% battery consumption, a large part of which was caused by Firefox. To avoid this, every time I exit I have to force close it.

I need a browser that works across all my devices, I would like it to be fully open source and have synchronization between my computer and smartphone. I would prefer it not to be based on Chromium. Firefox, if it didn’t have this issue, still consumes a lot of battery when in use and is slow on Android, but I could accept that. But for it to drain so much battery when not in use, no. Any suggestions for something I might have missed?

#Android #Browsers #Firefox #Chromium

#Firefox is really getting on my nerves at the moment.

It's a local IP address ffs.

Annoying that I have to run 3 full copies of #Firefox as separate apps.

1) Firefox itself
2) #Zotero
3) Zen browser whose split view is useful for social media.

The #Web platform and browsing app have been too strongly coupled. Need FirefoxOS / ChromiumOS purely as a platform for app developers.

What #firefox alternative you prefer? No chromium based

Here are the results of my "What is your favorite browser?" survey, here on Mastodon. These are some very interesting results.

It is clear that the incumbents are not getting a lot of love. Edge gets 2% and Chrome gets 5%. These browsers are widely used, but not very popular, based on this survey.

Safari does a lot better at 16%, the same as Vivaldi. The enthusiasm level from those that use Vivaldi is high and plenty of people also mention Vivaldi as a secondary option.

Opera gets just 1%.

Firefox gets 60%, so clearly a strong showing here in the Fediverse, although many say they use Firefox only because they do not want to use a Chromium based browser.

The cool part is then that 13% say they prefer another browser. Plenty of smaller browsers getting a mention, which is nice.

If you notice that the total is higher than 100%, then that is because I allowed people to select more than one browser, although most did not.

If you are still using Chrome or Edge, maybe it is time to try something new? You have a choice!

#Vivaldi #browser #Firefox #Edge #Chrome #Safari #Opera #Windows #Linux #macos #iOS #Android

Even huge company like #google sucks in #UX so much.
This is an embeded video on a random page.
Yeah, I use #firefox containers, and everything google related is opening in one specific container to limit their spying on me. I opened the page in different container, thus I am not signed in.
Well ok, give me the link to the youtube video and I will watch it there? In the right container?
Youtube UX: no link to the video, but here you can watch some different stuff...

Maybe I should do an #introduction.

Hello! I'm a (nonexistent) homo sapien. I'm a nerd who likes programming, Golang, C, chocolate, and terminals.

I use Void Linux (because it's awesome) with i3. And Firefox. I host my code on Codeberg because it rocks, and GitHub because I need it for non-personal things.

I'm interesting in CLIs, TUIs, and cybersecurity, along with systems.

Take 3 minutes to tell Mozilla Foundation the only thing you want from it is Firefox funded by donations.

Backstory: Mozilla Corporation (not Foundation) controls Firefox, so there is no way to donate to Firefox’s development, which is why MoCo is more interested in building an ethical ad network instead of a browser to fight ad tech.

https://mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net/101

#Mozilla #Firefox #WebDev

#Facts that #Mastodon users always refuse to accept, yet these are true:

#Brave is the best browser and a search engine. No else #browser is better then it. No else search engine. Not even #Firefox or #Chrome .

#iPhone are the best phones with their iOS to exist. And no, Android devices aren't better.

#Bluesky is the best alternative to #Twitter /#X , the one true, DECENTRALIZED (yes, it has its own #ATProtocol ) alternative that we all need.

#ZCash is a better #privacy focused #cryptocurrency then #Monero .

From my interactions with Mastodon users, all of these facts aren't accepted by them at all, they really start to strongly defend their beliefs, starting to talking about either reputation or behavement of a person/company, or either their past actions. Guess what? I don't care about anything of that; I just need a good product that worth to use.

I'll add more to that list, if I'll think of any.

I noticed that, when you accidentally play two video's at the same time on #youtube, the other video will get automatically paused. At least, "it works on my machine" on #firefox. So how does it do that? I thought every tab had their own sandbox? Is ITC (Inter Tab Communication) a thing now? So many questions...

How to use #i2p on #GrapheneOS, using #mull (#firefox)

Only Firefox seems to be able to use a regular ol' HTTP proxy, on Android. Pretty crazy.

1. Install i2p, on Android you can use:
- [I2P](https://github.com/i2p/i2p.android.base)
- I2PD, [this F-Droid repo](https://fdroid.i2pd.xyz/fdroid/repo?appId=org.purplei2p.i2pd) and AppID `org.purplei2p.i2pd` (For Obtainium too)
- [InviziblePro](https://github.com/Gedsh/InviZible)

2. Install Mull, on Obtainium:

[DivestOS repo as URL](https://divestos.org/fdroid/official?appId=us.spotco.fennec_dos) and AppID `us.spotco.fennec_dos`

1/x

When you donated to Mozilla, you truly did not know if that money was going towards Firefox, or one of their many deadend projects no one asked for, or if it was going to some campaign platform, or was it just going to be a bonus for their management (CEO, ect.)

But if you donate to Vivaldi, the money is going to Vivaldi web browser, and to better that experience. https://login.vivaldi.net/profile/donations

Why I recently switched from Firefox to @Vivaldi, how that’s going, and other browser-related bits and bobs… https://tylersticka.com/journal/browsers-again/

#Vivaldi #Firefox

Good software is good software.

Firefox is open source, but it includes adware, spyware, and artificial intelligence (AI), while being owned by an ad company. Brave is open source, but it too includes adware, spyware, AI, plus cryptocurrency, while being owned by an ad company. Both of them call out like a lost child or puppy. There are viruses that are also free open source, but they too do not make the world a better place.

Free open-source does not guarantee nor mean something is automaticly better.

Vivaldi, is based on the free open source Chromium project, and while it is true that the GUI is closed source, it does not include AI or cryptocurrency, nor owned by an ad company, and only calls out to 1) check for updates and 2) report bugs.

Good software does not need to be free open source to be good. Nor does close software automatically make something bad.

#firefox #opensource

It's been nearly 2 weeks since I moved over to #vivaldi and honestly I'm impressed (coming from #firefox and #chrome), it syncs nicely between all my devices (even iOS). Two issues off the top of my head:

1. It would be nice if the desktop tab stacks worked more like Chrome's tab groups. Lack of colours/labels and the constant expanding and contracting is annoying.

2. Why are bookmarks on Android so hard? I just want to bookmark a page, not manage my bookmarks every time. And even when I click 'add current page' it doesn't do anything so I have to manually copy the URL.

I think they're literally the only things.

The Celebrating 20 years of Firefox video teases some good UI changes and new features coming soon: easier profile switching, stashable tab groups, vertical tabs.

I guess #fennec has fallen behind a little bit in updates so I've removed it from my phone. I use #firefox on the desktop. Is there any reason not to use it on #android? I only used that particular fork out of inertia.

I'm still so fuckin' annoyed that the only way to add a search engine in #Firefox is to either create a bookmark with a Keyword (whut?) or add an Extension (whuuuut?). Why not just add the ability to add a search engine in the settings where you can also remove them?

I have a #Linux machine with 32GB RAM and barely use 8GB of it. I run #Firefox with hundreds of tabs, open #Haskell, #Rust, and #PureScript projects all at the same time. Have #Telegram and #Discord apps running, and the memory usage still hovers around 8GB.Seems like I should be using Docker and Kubernetes just to feel like I'm using my machine to its potential 😆

Small update for DuckDuckSocial
Added the ability to customize date (either absolute date or relative to current date)
Added ability to automatically filter out words before performing search (probably only useful to me but someone else might have a purpose for it). And I probably posted about this before but I couldn't find it so just so you're aware you don't need an API key for the web version (still required for Android extension)

Oh no, a #Firefox bug is messing with my retro #XML pastime! Time to dig into Bugzilla.

https://emmas.site/blog/2024/10/19/a-firefox-xml-bug

Ok, ok, ok... I've softened my strict rules of absolute digital minimalism a bit and allowed some additional apps on my Pixel 9.

Compared to the previous setup, I installed Aurora Store at short notice to get the following apps installed:

Firefox (instead of Fennec, because of faster security updates), FUTO Keyboard (because of swipe function, it types much faster!), Fossify Gallery (instead of the standard gallery), standard SMS app instead of QUIKSMS, Pixel Camera (much better image quality, but completely without permissions! ), Localsend (for sending photos and files back and forth between Pixel and PC), Mullvad VPN (catch me!), Proton Pass (changed all passwords to long, complicated ones) and as a visual gimmick: Breezy Weather (so that the home screen doesn't look so boring).

Pomalu se (po cca 15 letech používání Opery a Chromu) chystám přejít zpátky na #Firefox. Nebudu lhát, v mnoha (ne ve všech) ohledech jsem vlastně rád, kam se web díky Chromu posunul. Zvlášť v době, kdy Firefox docela stagnoval. Ale čeho je moc, toho je příliš. V Googlu zvítězila hamižnost nad uživatelským komfortem a já bych kvůli konci podpory Manifestu V2 přišel o užitečný addony jako uBlock Origin, Violentmonkey a ClearURLs. Bohužel to odnese i řada prohlížečů na bázi Chromia (např. Vivaldi).

Password managers: work recommends Bitwarden, I've been preferring KeePassXC. As regards the server and local desktop app side, respectively, both appear rather head-to-head to me. But as far as the available Firefox extensions are concerned, I find the KeePassXC one to be far superior in terms of UX.

Is this just me, or do others (who have used both) share the same opinion?

There's not a shred of compassion/empathy for what Mozilla is trying to do! At all!

What to replace Firefox with?

Vivaldi web browser is everything Firefox should have been the last decade or more.

Yes, Vivaldi Browser is based off of the open source code, chromium, but it does not follow Google's lead, supporting both v2 and v3 browser extensions (meaning uBlock will still work). Vivaldi, includes their own ad and tracker blocker, is not owned and managed by an ad company, and is the ONLY web browser to be A.I. free (does not include an AI).

The latest version, 6.9, even added support to ensure uBlock will continue to work.

#Vivaldi #Firefox #Mozilla

There are no more reasons to use, Mozilla Firefox.

Better Privacy?

Mozilla is working closely with Facebook, Google, and is now a market research and advertising company. Furthermore, they're now including every possible AI in their web browser, which calls out even when disabled.

Better Ad blocking?

Mozilla is an ad company and recently gave the uBlock development team a hard time. uBlock Lite is not coming back to Firefox, and the uBlock developer is considering not to develop two builds in the future. Furthermore, even with an ad-blocker, by default, Firefox now monitors ad performance.

Better web browsing?

With a single digit market share, even governments are forgetting about Firefox. The United States, tax office (IRS), not so recently, experienced issues when loaded with Firefox.

It's the principle?

As we have established, there is no principle. Firefox is no different from Chromium and Mozilla, no better than Google or Microsoft.

Ok, so how do we fork Firefox successfully into a more user-aligned nonprofit, funded by donations and non-browser-touching halo services, that’s still pragmatic in nudging surveillance capitalism in the right direction without losing compatibility or being complicit, and bring Servo back into inner circle?

Proton’s new foundation is a strong contender to lead a fork.

What other ideas do you have?

My earlier proposal: https://www.jeremiahlee.com/posts/mozillas-soul-searching/

#Firefix #Firefox #webDev

I would recommend, Vivaldi Browser.

Yes, Vivaldi Browser is based off of the open source code, chromium, but it does not follow Google's lead, supporting both v2 and v3 browser extensions (meaning uBlock will still work). Vivaldi, includes their own ad and tracker blocker, is not owned and managed by an ad company, and is the ONLY web browser to be A.I. free (does not include an AI).

The latest version, 6.9, even added support to ensure uBlock will continue to work.

#Vivaldi #Firefox #uBlock #Mozilla

Sick of #Firefox getting AI? Remember the time Mozilla accepted cryptocurrency donations and only stopped when they got shouted at?

Rely on a browser with no AI or cryptocurrency in it at all, get Vivaldi!

Most notably, "september" keeps getting mistranslated to "november", which is funny/sad because it’s the same word in both Svenska and English.

You've heard of the Google Graveyard, now get ready for the Mozilla Graveyard. I remembered a lot of these (RIP Firefox OS) but completely forgot about some of the others. #firefox #mozilla

https://www.spacebar.news/the-mozilla-graveyard/

So far very impressed and happy with #Vivaldi as my new main browser. Glad that they included some apps integrated into the browser that I was not initially expecting to use as much as I do.

RIght now - this is the integrated RSS reader, and the Notes app of all things.
First one, makes me wonder why this wasn't this way in ALL browsers forever, especially #Firefox...

And as to the integrated and sync-able Notes across desktop and mobile apps --> Goodbye, Google Keep.

Having a play with Vivaldi browser. First impressions were not good as there seemed to be a lot going on with the user interface, compared to Firefox. I've since tinkered with the settings and managed to get it looking pretty minimal, which is nice. The amount of settings this browser has is bonkers, in a good way. I'm thinking I'll use it for a week and see how I get on.

#firefox #vivaldi

Also, I finally switched to Vivaldi on my android. So far it's pretty nice experience. In the past lack of extensions annoyed me a lot, but maybe I will be able to live w/o it.

#vivaldi #browsers #firefox #mobile #android #phone #smartphone

First Fediverse toot in the #Vivaldi Browser on #Fedora Rawhide (Installed as an RPM package).

Works great and performance is significantly better on my (very old and dated) hardware.

Toggling a video between normal and full-screen took 2-3 seconds in Firefoix and LibreWolf and this latency is complately absent in Vivaldi. It's super snappy.

I think, I will try this on one computer for a while and see how it turns out.

Addons currently installed:

- uBlock Origin
- I still don't care about cookies (removes EU cookie nag banners)
- Plasma Integration

The posts of @Linux convinced me to give it a try

#linux #desktop #browser #vivaldi #firefox

OK my transfer from #Firefox to #Vivaldi now fully complete. No buyers remorse at all.

#Passkeys on every site you can, make everything so much better, btw

A few notes:

#Vivaldi after tweaking UX really can be a #Calmtech solution - at least as much as any browser can. But you can tweak EVERYTHING on it.

#Vivaldi's RSS feed feature - way more helpful than I thought.

#Already have about 10 ideas on how they could integrate the Fedi even more into the browser.

cc: @jon @brucelawson

@mrchrisadams #ZenBrowser is amazing partially because it shows how little effort would it take to make #Firefox so much better. It's a one-man project and has multiple ideas that make experience much nicer

I was a huge fan of @[email protected] and #Firefox for years – to me, they always stood for #openness, #privacy, and a free #internet.

But ever since Laura Chambers took over, it feels like Mozilla is completely losing its way. 🤔

Instead of focusing on the #browser, they’re starting projects that have little to do with their core mission. Commercial partnerships are on the rise, and now they’re even shutting down their own #Mastodon instance. That was the perfect opportunity to push #decentralization and openness in the #Fediverse. 🌐

#Firefox used to be my go-to recommendation for privacy – but sadly, I can’t say that anymore. 😕

💬 Do you have any recommendations for a #browser on #macOS and #iOS that focuses on privacy, syncs easily, and is still customizable?

#Mozilla の CPO が、体調を理由に不当に解雇されたと訴えをおこしてるみたい

@ernie @jon I've been a long time fan of his writing and his work on Vivaldi. That was intrumental for my choice of browsers this weekend as I was looking for alternatives to #firefox

The migration from #Firefox to #Vivaldi has been pretty effortless. The big annoyance is that I'm used to clicking on the orange Firefox icon in the bottom bar and I have to keep closing it. I like the Workspace feature of Vivaldi, which I had already been using for projects. My big questions at this point are memory management with tabs open in various workspaces and how do the workspaces accommodate having multiple Google accounts open? I post videos to several Youtube channels. #Mozilla

There are two open source web browser projects that have their own Mastodon instances.

Unfortunately, Mozilla has decided to shutdown their Mastodon instance by the end of the year.
https://mozilla.social/

But Vivaldi Web Browser has confirmed that they will keep maintaining their Mastodon instance.
https://social.vivaldi.net/

#Mozilla #firefox #web #browser #Vivaldi #social #mastodon #instance

I've been a #Firefox user FOREVER. But with the direction of the recent Mozilla leadership, plus their treatment of @stevetex has pushed me over to moving to @Vivaldi

Sad, sad day. But they crossed enough lines that it's time. And @jon has been a strong advocate for the fediverse and the open web. #Vivaldi

これ読むと、#Mozilla は #Firefox と #AI に注力する方向なのかな。うーむ。#AI ね…
いや、やり方次第なんでそれも良いんだけども。。

https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/17/mozilla-exits-the-fediverse-and-will-shutter-its-mastodon-server-in-december/

なんか、例えると、よくわかってないお偉いさんの「これからは AI だぜ！（キラッ）」っていうディレクションとすごく重なって見えちゃうんだけど、#Firefox 本当にそれで大丈夫かな…？

ブラウザに表示されてる内容の要約とか、すでに他のブラウザにも搭載されてる機能だし、それがそもそも本当にブラウザーにとってクリティカルな機能なのか（個人的にはまだ）分からないし、とくに既存の #Firefox のユーザー層だと #AI と連携する機能をブラウザに搭載すること自体よく思わない人も（たぶん他のブラウザーのユーザー以上に）多そうだけど、それでも #Mastodon :mastodon: サーバーを閉鎖して（上の記事を見るとそれ以外にも VPN のリソースとかも一部犠牲にして）#AI 連携？機能に注力して、その結果これからすごく革新的な AI 機能が #Firefox に搭載されて、かつそれが #Mozilla に（少なくとも今より）収益を生み出して、さらに Web の世界がより良くなるということを目指してるってことなのかな…？

（なんだかさらに #Firefox が心配になってきた :tony_neutral:

これ、#Mozilla の :mastodon: #Mastodon 単体で考えればべつにアカウント引っ越しもできるし、ユーザーには逃げ道があるという意味で（その手間がかかるとはいえ）それが :fediverse: #Fediverse ⁂ で良かったね、という話も出来るんだけど、
いかんせん、それ以前に「 #Mozilla 大丈夫？」という印象のほうがネガティブな意味で大きい。
どっちかって言うと #MozillaSocial よりも #Firefox のユーザーへの心象というか影響を心配してしまう。

世間的にも冷遇されつつある #Firefox をユーザーがどういう気持ちで応援して使ってるかということを考えると、こういうふうに #Mozilla がどこに向かってるかわからないフラフラした動きをしている（ように見える）のは、結構心が折れるきっかけになりかねないんじゃないかな…
自分も今はあんまり最近は #Firefox 使う機会がかなり減ってるけど、それでも歴史あるブラウザーエンジンが健全な Web のために #Firefox の中で生き続けてほしいと応援はしているので、色々心配になってしまう。

本分である #Firefox の改善に注力するんだと思いたい。（がんばれ

someone on fedi said @mozilla is doin' this because their executives think "oh no Chrome is beating us to AI" when they don't realize people pick #Firefox /because it ain't chrome/ (and thus /shouldn't/ do things chrome does)

and gosh I think about that a lot.

basically #Mozilla is kinda like Steve Castle from Futurama.

I just tried to leave the following comment on Mozilla's feedback page regarding their new AI "feature". Sadly, it asked me to log in *after* I hit Submit, despite the previous page saying I only needed to be logged in if I wanted to add an attachment. So now I'm even more unhappy.

Anyway, @mozilla, you don't seem to want to hear feedback on this, but I'm @-ing you anyway.

After checking about:config, "Hide weather on New Tab" sets the config value "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.showWeather" to "false", but leaves "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.weatherfeed" as the default of "true". So, my suspicion was correct, #Firefox is still sending your location off every 30 minutes to get the weather in the background by default even if you disable this new widget: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/newtab/lib/WeatherFeed.sys.mjs #infosec #privacy

Firefox’s local ML language translation was kickstarted by a European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program grant (#825303).

Firefox now has Svenska↔︎English language translation using local ML! Apple still does not have that!

Almost 5 years ago, Mozilla killed my popular Google Translate extension and then at least 5 other extensions that tried to fill the feature gap afterwards. https://www.jeremiahlee.com/posts/page-translator-is-dead/

#WebDev #i18n #TillSverige #Firefox

@rrix @joeyh that's unfortunately impossible: while the code to build #Firefox is #FLOSS, they weild their trademark (logo and name) to deny distros the ability to patch the code. I wish Debian had kept distributing their IceWeasel rebrand instead of bowing to Mozilla's demands just to get the logo.

Don't forget to financially support https://servo.org/ if you can, so that they can ship a useable browser in time before Mozilla's inevitable demise.

Of all the takes I read about #Mozilla and #Firefox ranting about AI, ads, sponsors, Mozilla not understanding their users / market fit, telemetry, excessive CEO compensation etc. none of them explain how Mozilla is supposed to earn money to pay the hundreds of skilled developers who are supposed to work everyday building an ad-free web browser for all of us we won't pay, for free 🤷

What do #FireFox users want from #Mozilla?

My overall assessment of #Floorp is more positive than negative. I'm not sure it's better than #Firefox privacy-wise, but it definitely has more features (that I find useful/interesting), although not on-par with #Vivaldi (that to my knowledge remains the most feature-complete Internet suite still alive).

I _really_ like the #JpegXL support.

#Privacy aside, if it had native support for #RSS feeds (discovery and visualization) and possibly distro packaging, I would seriously consider a switch.

Je recommande l'extension de navigateur "Consent-O-Matic" qui nous épargne la sempiternelle corvée de refuser le pistage dès qu'on arrive sur un site. Elle fait ça bien en acceptant les #cookies indispensables et en refusant les cookies de pistage.

Évitez d'utiliser les autres extensions qui dégagent le bandeau car beaucoup d'entre elles acceptent les cookies (ce qui permet aux publicitaires ensuite de dire que 99% des gens consentent au pistage...)

Are you sick and tired of websites, especially technical ones that have complicated commands or code snippets, preventing you from copy/paste? Here's a fix that website owners HATE!

Open Firefox (because you shouldn't be using anything else), and in the Awesomebar, type in "about:config" and press enter. Accept the warning. Search for the option "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" and set that sucker to FALSE.

There is one thing keeping me from switching to Firefox full time: the Chrome UI sounds extension. It makes a sound every time a new page loads or content updates. It's super helpful as a screen reader user when navigating very complex web apps. I tried repacking it for Firefox, but it won't run without some work. I'm looking at the sourcecode to see if I can make it work, but this is well outside my comfort zone. Anybody have resources for porting extensions from Chrome to Firefox?

#blind #screenReader #firefox #javascript #help

Anyone got mTLS client certificates working on Firefox on Android, *specifically*?

It doesn't prompt to supply any installed certificates and there's not the same options as desktop.
I have this working on desktop and using `curl` so server is configured OK.

There's whispers online about how FF decides whether it has a certificate in store, whether bundling is required, or the CA has to be the same as the TLS server cert but nothing concrete I can locate.

#Firefox #mTLS #Mull #MullBrowser

In other news, I've had it with #Firefox. I guess I'll still need it to do my banking, but for most things I've switched to #Lynx.

If only Lynx supported in-line #Sixel graphics.

If you are doing #Java #programming, and you've downloaded a jar of #Javadoc documentation for some library, #Firefox can directly display it without unpacking the jar!

Just prepend `jar:file://`, and append `!/index.html`, to form a URL.

For example, if the jar is located at:
/home/you/.m2/repository/com/example/example-library/1.0/example-library-1.0-javadoc.jar

Then use this URL:
jar:file:///home/you/.m2/repository/com/example/example-library/1.0/example-library-1.0-javadoc.jar!/index.html

Added some initial support for media in the card views. I don't particularly like how it looks right now but css is not my strong suit

Hey #Firefox for #Android users, I need your help. We've started rolling out updates for version 130 and it seems that a lot of users with Vivo devices experienced a bunch of crashes. Samsung and Google ones are affected too, but to a lesser extent. If Firefox is crashing for you ping me, I'd love to know exactly what happens at the moment of the crash and right afterwards.

uBlock users --

While Vivaldi already includes their own ad-blocker, they are the only web browser also now adding built in support so that uBlock functions will continue to work with Vivaldi in the future. This from their recent change log:

I use FireFox, yes sometimes it isn't perfect, neither is the current big fish, and by a lot. Sure there are a lot of #Chromium based browsers out there but so are #FireFox based browsers.
If one needs #HDR or other still chromium exclusive features, sure use it I would as well, but FireFox(#Gecko) is arguably the last competing browser engine.
This paired with FireFox being 99+1% on pair with Chromium should be more than enough of a reason to give it a shot once in a while IMHO.

Is there a way to log Firefox (et al) tab/process memory and CPU usage periodically? Something that would grab about:processes once per second and dump that into json or text file?

Or is it equivalent just to grab the data at OS level for the process(es)? (Linux in this case)

Apple just released a Chromium/Safari version of Apple Maps. I wonder if they are planning on making a web version as well.

#Firefox #Mozilla #AppleMaps

This is not a #firefox it is a #dogsofmastodon #toller named Quibus!

Quick reminder for those who care about #privacy and use #google services like #GoogleMaps. When you go to maps[.]google[.]com, it forwards to www[.]google[.]com/maps. Then when it asks for permission, you get the prompt seen below. You are then granting access to your location for all google applications.

If you want to fix this, go into your browser's settings and find the location permissions. In #Firefox, that is menu button -> Settings -> type "location" in the search bar -> Settings.

Thoughts on the new Mozilla statement regarding #firefox #PPA

I don't care how strong you think the privacy properties of a new feature are (and there are legitimate arguments to be had disputing those technical claims) - enabling an experiment like that by default is incredibly disrespectful to users, and doubling down is the act that comes across as outright hostile.

If somebody's job depends on not understanding something, they'll be **physically incapable** of understanding that thing.

In this case, it's #Mozilla #Firefox and user consent.

📝 New from @jonah on our blog: "No shady privacy policies or back doors for advertisers" proclaims the Firefox homepage, but that's no longer true in Firefox 128.

Less than a month after acquiring the AdTech company Anonym, Mozilla has added special software co-authored by Meta and built for the advertising industry directly to the latest release of Firefox, in an experimental trial you have to opt out of manually. This "Privacy-Preserving Attribution" (PPA) API adds another tool to the arsenal of tracking features that advertisers can use, which is thwarted by traditional content blocking extensions…

https://blog.privacyguides.org/2024/07/14/mozilla-disappoints-us-yet-again-2/

#privacy #firefox #mozilla #ppa

I have seen a lot of anger about and criticism of @mozilla's new #adtech attribution system introduced in #Firefox 128. I totally understand why people are worried about this but I'd be curious if anyone has provided *technical* reasons for why the proposed attribution system isn't in fact #privacy-preserving or other reasons why it's bad (beyond "Firefox shouldn't do #ads" or "opt-out is not enough").

Given the Firefox stuff that's happening and the announcement of ladybird, I think it's a good idea to mention a browser project that's got no controversy I can see but could use time and money, @servo.

Servo is a browser engine made in Rust, it was made to be an experimental engine by Mozilla but the Linux Foundation is hosting it now. What I especially like is how modular it is, compared to other engines I feel I can make a better browser with it and its components help other projects too!

If you want to see a browser that can be maintained in pieces instead of monolithically it's worth checking out! they need serious CSS/flexbox help to get up to par with other browsers but the webGL and WASM is top notch.

#servo #ladybird #firefox #chrome #privacy #safari #browser #foss

Chances are that you might have heard about #Firefox "Privacy Preserving Attribution for Advertising". I've been working for Mozilla for 12 years and I've learned about it here on the fediverse, not only because I haven't been paying much attention, but because internal comms have been occupied with other stuff. So let's talk about something I feel Mozilla desperately needs: transparency. 🧵 1/11

So I turned off the new Firefox advertiser-friendly stuff.

But somehow I feel this isn't enough. I want to do more than just turn the feature off, I would prefer to submit poisoned and false data to it continually.

Anyone know a plugin that will flood this bullshit system with fake AI lies or anything like that?

In the page explaining why they silently forced this bullshit on me they say "Attribution is very important to advertisers"

Fuck advertisers. Fuck them. You get that Firefox? It is not your job to be kind to advertisers, it is your job to fuck them on my behalf.

»An experimental feature in #Firefox 128 is support for the "image/jxl" MIME type in the accept header for default and image requests of the #JPEGXL image format.« !!

Oh FFS #github. Directing me to #passkey login instead of my #yubikey by default was bad enough, but now it opens up this undismissable popup that doesn't die even when I kill the parent tab in #firefox.

Hey Firefox, Mozilla @mozilla it's time to bring back an RSS/Atom reader in the Browser... what are you waiting for?

I just found another #Firefox crash triggered by a CPU bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1906700

This seems to only apply to the very first AMD Zen 3 processors w/o microcode updates applied. The same processor with the latest microcode update doesn't seem to be affected.

I know it's really annoying but do check if your motherboard has some firmware updates available and apply them if you're able. Windows and Linux should ship with microcode updates, but they don't always seem to be applied.

Ever found modern fancy scrollbars in #Firefox inaccessible?

about:config and:

widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled → false

keeps them fully visible while not however.

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override

can be used to make them thicker (I've set 24).

Le truc nul avec l’envoi d’URL #nitter et autres #invidious c’est que mon extension #firefox #invidition qui redirige sur l’instance que je veux ne fonctionne pas dans ce cas 😭

Voilà pourquoi, quitte à renvoyer vers des documents hébergés dans des silos, il me semble nettement préférable de conserver l’URL d’origine du #silo emprisonneur.

So it begins. :(

#Mozilla announces the rollout of the first AI features into the #Firefox browser via the Nightly build. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/ai-services-on-firefox/

I use #Firefox because I refuse to use #Chromium based browsers. As the IE6 times have shown us, a monoculture on the web is horrible, and it's even worse when it's a company like MS or Google in charge of the monoculture.

That said, god @mozilla keeps on making weird and boneheaded moves that make me sad that their browser is the only viable non-blink-based browser out there.

Using #Firefox

I’m trying to move away from #google.

What are your easy to use(!) favorites alternatives?

Currently I’m trying to do it like this:

#chrome -> #firefox (easy one)

Maps -> #openStreatMap (I’m trying this, maps was the most used, service for me … switch will be hard)

#gmail -> ??? (I‘m completely open, I don’t want to set up my own hosting, I’m eying mailbox.org)

fotos -> iCloud (I know it’s Apple, but obviously the poison I take for now)

#drive -> ???

Any suggestions for anything?
Thx!
