Your favourite #webBrowser is now enshittifying itself to please some Venture Capitalist.

Here are your alternatives:
* the browser you were just using, but with some extra features thrown in, will probably go to shit as well in a few years
* a browser owned by THE enshittification company
* a bakers' dozen of skins laid atop that browser that are subject to the samesuch enshittification
* a slightly more modified skin, its head developer is a known queerphobe and also a cryptobro
* a new, independently-developed browser, it is being written by a sexist manbaby who threw a fit when told he maybe shouldn't use 'he' as default in the legal text of the license agreements
* another new, independently-developed browser -- It barely fucking works and is useless for any modern website

#tech is going great, everyone.

I am once again faced with the bleak irony of people who like to code in the terminal with Vim or Nano, but also install onto their computer some 5 or 10 apps via FlatPak or Docker, including VSCode, each installed with their own entire copies of Node.js and Electron.js (differing only in their minor revision number), while also complaining about Emacs being “bloated” because it ships with a miniature web browser and fully-featured e-mail client.

I'm late to read the news, but I'm sad to see #Firefox / #Mozilla is turning into something I won't be supporting in the future.

Will need to find a new browser until #ladybird @ladybirdbrowser is released!

Any good suggestions? I will be checking out #Floorp, #Librewolf, #Seamonkey and #Waterfox

I have never used it, but good to know it does exist!

Any popular web browser are based on Google Chrome, except Firefox

Pointless poll for subjectively chosen web browsers.

Alright, trying to leave both Chrome and Firefox at the same time is difficult, especially because I always use multiple browsers at the same time (to separate accounts for this or that without having to switch accounts constantly). My current browser number three is Opera and so far, I'm not touching it (we'll see in the future).

My questions are basically: are LibreWolf and Vivaldi viable replacements as main browsers?

My main concerns are whether LibreWolf is mature enough and if both allow syncing between different devices (as I regularly use three computers).

Any constructive feedback is welcome.

(suggesting me to use that another browser I haven't mentioning without explaining why in detail is not constructive feedback, thank you)

Firefox 136 Now Offers Vertical Tabs

I just updated my Firefox install to version 136 and discovered it has a new Vertical Tabs feature. If you prefer to organize or view your tabs this way, you might like it.

NOTE - In my testing on Windows 10, enabling Vertical Tabs mode significantly reduces the draggable area at the top of Firefox making it difficult to move around on the desktop.

Inmiddels ook LibreWolf toegevoegd aan het systeem. De volgende #webbrowser in een rijtje om te proberen. Voornaamste reden: LibreWolf zet nagenoeg alle privacy-vinkjes meteen aan en heeft tevens standaard contentblocker.

Want hoe je het went of keert, met zijn allen stoppen we best veel gevoelige data in onze webbrowser

Voor wie recentelijk interesse heeft getoond voor mijn #Linux initiatief: er komt een pagina om meer alternatieven te leren dan standaard #Firefox.
