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. :)




Linux life hack: say you have a page open in Firefox on your Linux machine and you want to view it on your phone (and you don’t have some fancy integration between the two)…

Instead of typing in the URL, get the FxQRL extension that shows you a QR code of the current tab’s URL and aim your phone’s camera at it.

Boom! :)

So, I opened a new tab in #Firefox and immediately notice this. After a brief WTF moment, I click on the dots menu over the icon and land on this page:

support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/s…

(Note that from the URL I removed the UTM: `as=u&utm_source=inproduct`)

To sum up, another automatic opt-in from which I have to say no in the settings.



There are new PC workstations in the public area of the #TIB. The client itself had to be based on Win 10, but I have used a lot of free and #opensource software: Login works with pGina, a foss replacement for Credential Provider (and GINA) to authenticate with the #library card on Windows. Browser is #Firefox and I use @libreoffice, SumatraPDF as a PDF and eBook reader, NAPS2 with Tesseract for automated text recognition (OCR), VLC Media Player and of course Notepad++.

Recently, there has been misinformation about #Mozilla's browser #Firefox claiming that a new feature called #FirefoxSuggest would send any address bar inputs to advertising companies by default.

This is not true.

In reality, all sponsored suggestions are given offline by default, meaning that no additional user data is sent anywhere. Online suggestions are strictly opt-in.

Please do not spread false information.
