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...
The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 378! Come join me while I #livehack on #firefox !
In this episode, we're going to continue to document a fairly complex chunk of code - the code that powers the customization state of the toolbars and overflow panel!
So... #Signal and #Wire, which both have issues, but not #Matrix / #XMPP? And for video, 2 #YouTube front ends and a proprietary YouTube clone, but no direct mention of #Peertube? And for Translation, the proprietary #Deepl, but no mention of the local and #Privacy respecting #Firefox #translate
I appreciate the intent of this post, but the research is... outdated at best.
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.
Wait a damn minute, look at that pull request discussion and the diff as committed… the CTO of #Firefox has amended #Mozilla's "Neutral" position regarding #JPEGXL to indicate that their "cost" concerns are mainly about the security risks of a decoder being 100k lines of C++, and that they would be "open to shipping" a memory-safe decoder that meets their requirements?
And some folks at Google are going to write that implementation in Rust?!
"Google snažil uzavřít dohody s mobilními operátory, aby získal silné výchozí pozice ve smartphonech a ovládl v nich vyhledávání. Tvrdí také, že #Google platil deset miliard dolarů ročně bezdrátovým společnostem, jako je AT&T, výrobcům zařízení, jako je Apple, a výrobcům prohlížečů, jako je #mozilla aby se zbavil konkurentů a udržel si podíl na trhu s vyhledávači."
Jestli to projedou tak to možná bude poslední hřebíček do rakve pro #firefox :D
Čudujem sa, že to prichádza až teraz... Ale nikdy nie je neskoro, takže ešte raz - Chrome nie je browser, je to šmírovacia platforma Googlu, podobne ako Android. Použite, zatiaľ stále príčetný, browser #firefox a nezabudnite na obľúbené rozšírenia vrátane #privacybadger od #eff
Despite all my experience, I am sometimes tempted to give certain #software vendors a second chance.
And I was curious to see what the new #AppleMaps could do. Unfortunately, my trial only lasted a few seconds, because neither one of my operating systems nor the browser I use for my daily work are supported.
And so I can say: negative prejudices confirmed, I don't need something like this.
Wow, #Element (the flagship #Matrix client) dropped support for #Firefox ESR in release 1.11.70. Or rather, they never supported it in the first place, only supporting "last two versions". The change causes a corrupted session for ESR users, and can't be reverted to fix it.
(Note that all Debian Stable users, by default, run Firefox ESR. This is kind of a big deal. ESR is always up to date on security, and gets new features once per year.)
Your use case It seems (given the discussion in #27682, unless the person in charge of support there) that Firefox ESR isn't supported. Given it has a large user base (enterprise, Debian stable and...
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.
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.
I'm hearing that Mozilla worked with Facebook to build this malware that they silently injected into our machines.
Reminds me of that episode of Batman where Batman teamed up with the Penguin to develop a more citizen-friendly system of crime and extortion so that the Penguin could stop having so many people murdered.
Oh, no, wait. That never happened because Batman knows who the fucking bad guys are.
As #Mozilla is busy adding AI crap to #Firefox, I would like to point out that it's about 13 years since they removed the #RSS button from default Firefox GUI, and six years since RSS support was completely dropped from Firefox.
Thus making feeds invisible and impossible to discover for most web users.
RSS/Atom/JSON feeds are an immensely useful and important tech that can help solve the content discovery problem *without* going through gatekeepers. 👀
If you use #pipewire for cameras you can now (in the upcoming 1.2) enforce specific rotations via node rules. This is useful on devices with rotated cameras that don't use a DT and #libcamera or for testing (e.g. to find out the correct rotation of a phone camera). The rotation is respected by an increasing number of apps, notably #gstreamer based ones (like Snapshot - but not Cheese) and #firefox (if you enable PW cameras via `media.webrtc.camera.allow-pipewire`).
PipeWire version (pipewire --version): 1.0.7. Distribution and distribution version (PRETTY_NAME from /etc/os-release): Ubuntu Oracular Oriole (development branch). Desktop Environment: Sway Wayland...
I wrote most of the initial #DoH implementation for #Firefox back in the day. Six years ago I explained some of the internals on my blog: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2018/06/03…
In January, I reported a bug in #Firefox for the #Mac where VoiceOver loses complete page contents under certain circumstances. The bug recently received a patch, and I was curious and discovered that I can still read Mozilla code without problems. But I resisted the temptation to put the Firefox build system on my Mac and build it myself.
honestly #mozilla should focus on technology and #Firefox & #Thunderbird instead of #marketing and find a way to become sustainable without the money from #google
Stop the annoying crap like selling "color ways" as a revolutionary feature when you already have a far superior theming system.
And give your management less money until they perform in terms of innovation and sustainability.
Meanwhile WebKit doesn’t even support media controls on pages with a sandbox directive, requiring me to relax it on any page with a video or audio element.
Ich bin begeistert: Firefox Bookmarks zwischen drei Clients (2 x Notebook, 1 x Smartphone) synchronisieren läuft nun seit einem knappen halben Jahr per @floccus ohne Probleme - der Umstieg von Chrome auf Firefox klappte dadurch schneller als gedacht.
But I resisted the temptation to put the Firefox build system on my Mac and build it myself.
