I won't downvote anyone i disagree with but also only upvote if a comment adds something to the conversation. - After all, this isn't reddit anymore and i think we should try to be excellent to each other.
Nice to see that reddit started to advertise for lemmy / kbin. 🤣
laughs in firefox + uBlock Origin
There's no need to download a new web browser
That banner should be illegal.
Do managment next and lets see who's gonna be replaced first

Microsoft has already earned enough money from your license purchase, and the software giant shouldn’t need to include any first- or third-party bloatware.
Microsoft:
i could see that as a powershell "feature", which allows microsoft to sell adspace in the command line that reaches technicans and administrators

We’ll
announce a definite launch date in early September, but it’s safe to expect a roll-out before the year’s end.
AFAIK, no date has yet been announced
Firefox seems to be unable to print a lot of web pages
Example page?
Also i'd suggest you post "steps to reproduce" together with your "expected result" and "actual result".
That way others can compare and verify and we already have everything necessary to potentially open a bugzilla ticket.
You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like
Torvalds was looking for something fun and sympathetic to associate with Linux, and he felt that a slightly fat penguin sitting down after having eaten a great meal perfectly fit the bill
Seems like nothing with dignity was intended ... which fits perfectly. 🙃
if someone posts on social media and nobody reads it ... does the poster even exist?
... well to be fair nobody should have used those as long term storage solutions. But they still could have been nicer and more clearly announce their intention so people who care would have gotton a chance to save their stuff. - Just posting it in some changelog doesn't sound very noticable.
I forsee the creation of another arch based distro that is specifically designed for vegans that will solve this problem
Mission control wont let us bring steve back to the spacerig. ðŸ˜
will eventually
no time like the present, eh ;)
Things i did not expect today
this
tldr;
canonical ...
- keepes the snap store closed source and all snap packages and distribution under their control
- "silently" replaces packages (like firefox) with their snap versions
- will completly remove support for alternatives (like flatpak)
Well, since you dont define your threat model ... i'll just leave this here https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email-clients/ Hope it helps.
rebrand to X
Since i dont think ... sugar, spice and everything nice is involved,
🙃
At the moment WEI has been rejected by mozilla, so it wont be implemented into firefox. if google decides to add it into chrome and to their services, they will effectively lock out all firefox users. - A very anarchistic part of me actually would like to see how that would play out ... but at the moment i am unsure if google would actually dare doing this, but i guess, it will only be a matter of time and we'll find out.
Not sure if this move would actually damage the open web ... since basically google would single itself out as the enemy ... and i dont see many users appreciating such a move.
But if the worst happens and the whole web follows googles example, i guess we can just call this iteration of a "open web" a failure and start over with something much simpler ... maybe something like the gemini protocol as its base, which isnt polluted with clientside javascript garbage and bloated CSS/XHTML parsers and rendering engines .
bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
It has always been a user-tracking platform but it is getting worse
Good bot.
The penguin is patient and will welcome you when you have the fish / time.
If you are unsure i'd personally would also advice you to start with a dual-boot setup, so you can always temporary switch back if you get frustrated with something (or are under pressure from outside forces to get something done) and dont know how yet.
Normally when you return later with a clear head you'll likely be able to find a solution to your problem that doesnt require you to switch the OS.
Just a suggestion.
Have a nice day anyways!
This is so true it hurts.
The current web has almost been made unbearable.
Everyone who needs a break, can take a look at: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/
planning an ‘All Snap’ desktop next year.
I wonder where all the users are gonna migrate
I wonder how many people are gonna take a look at lemmy, because of the banner. Might be worth a poll after it ended.
don’t be evil
not exaclty an answer to you question ... but just fyi you could also just create an AMO account (it's free) and upload your addon for self distribution (to not have them appear on addons.mozilla.org) and then you can download and install them into stable version persistently.
sidenote: i think instead of nightly you can also use the unbranded builds to have a stable version which allows you to use xpinstall.signatures.required. ref. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Unbranded_Builds
xfce is the best ... no useless gimmicks, just functionality and speed. beautiful
As others already have mentioned, the issue might only be partially firefox's fault. Meaning that webpage that wants to be printable should normally have to provide a print layout and if it doesnt then it is up to the browser to make a best guess at how to render it correctly for printing. Sadly the modern web has a huge amount of web content (sticky headers, floating elements, shadow/hidden elements, and so on) that can make it really hard to interpret pages suitable for printing.
That said, that doesnt mean that there is no room for improvement to firefox's "best guess".
That website wants to collect and sell all the userdata without consent
