Quick PSA : yes, #Mozilla has been disappointing, but so far, they’re the only organization preventing Google to have a full control over web standards. Blink/WebKit-based browsers (Chromium, Vivaldi…) do NOT help at all in that regard.

So please use #Firefox or a #Gecko-based alternative (#ZenBrowser, #LibreWolf…). Ride the nightly release train and report bugs if you can. #Servo is getting ready, but for the next ~5 years, Gecko is our only suitable option.


Gestern habe ich erfahren, dass #Mozilla in "privatsphäre-respektierende" Werbung investiert. Ich bin da etwas skeptisch; #Privatsphäre und #Werbung stehen sich irgendwo diametral gegenüber. Darum habe ich mich mal nach Alternativen umgelesen. Dabei bin ich auf #librewolf gestossen, ein Fork von #Firefox, mit dem Schwerpunkt auf Privatsphäre und Sicherheit. #UBlock und weitere Features sind standardmässig mit an Bord. Werde ich wohl die Tage mal antesten...



I looked at Librewolf and it seemed like it'd be perfect. Was still able to send tabs around from machine to machine and sync bookmarks and stuff, which is the thing I suspected wouldn't work. All worked okay, was just firefox without the bullshit they do these days.

Until it just threw javascript errors on my TTRSS install and I couldn't read my newsreader.

Only on my desktop machine mind, it was fine on the laptop.

Maybe I should try harder. Perhaps it was just a fleeting thing that would be fixed next version.

I've switched to #librewolf couple of months ago. And I'm pretty happy. Feels pretty similar to #firefox with all the annoying bits simply gone. :)



Right, so there is such a thing as going too far… this should at least be a configurable option so that folks who want web sites to adapt to their system light/dark mode settings can have that.

There’s a line between protecting people and being paternalistic. And I can’t believe I’m the one having to say this but privacy isn’t the only concern when designing (e.g., in this case you might be overriding someone’s accessibility preferences).

hmmm is there an android version of #LibreWolf somewhere or an alternative ?
