OEM Twitter on Android is fine, it's the web version that went quasi-mobile and terrible just recently. I tried a 3rd party web version a long time ago, for some reason it and its cult followers assumed you wanted to view two or three different feeds at the same time, updating live. Perhaps it was meant to feel Matrix-like and futuristic, I thought it was dreadful. And hasn't Twitter put restrictions on the API, so you can't make fully featured clones anyway?

Since the update I have pretty much stopped using twitter in the same way. I just load it up a few times a day and quick scan the people I follow for any thing of note. I used to have it open all the time.

Are you not using TweetDeck because you don't know about it, or because you don't like it? Because it hasn't changed appreciably in years and has for a long time been the only way you could control feeds with respect to whether you want to see retweets and a bunch of other nonsense that keeps timelines unreadable.

That's the one, I hated it. Not a major point, but it's not 3rd party, Twitter bought it ages ago. At least you can lose the noisy side menus and just look at your regular feed, but it's even narrower there: https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ If there's some way of widening that beyond its maximum width in settings, it could be a replacement for the main view. I guess I'd want my PMs to have the same screen real estate as the main feed if I used it equally as much, but I don't so I don't. Same with notifications or following a particular search query or hashtag. It's an example of what I mentioned earlier, some weird GUI idea that someone fanatical enough to write their own client cares about.

Tweetdeck doesn't have ads, just all on its own. I think it's worth it just for that even if you otherwise hate the interface. The Better Tweetdeck extension can also customize the Tweetdeck width and add buttons to clear or roll-up each column right from the main screen. Twitter restricted the API for third-party mobile clients from being able to do notifications, but one way third party clients get around this on Android (maybe IOS too?) is to have you also install the official client and turn its notifications on, and then they intercept those notifications and replace them with theirs instead. It sounds janky but it's completely seamless, so I wouldn't let the API changes stop you from considering third party clients.

Not to pull away from Twitter chat but every once in a while my Firefox has an issue where the extensions will all stop working one by one until I restart the browser. Usually I don't notice until suddenly I'm inundated with a million ads, at which point I start clicking around and realize that all my other extensions have quit working too (although they're still "enabled" according to the browser.) Restarting is an easy enough fix but does anyone know why it does this to begin with and how I can prevent it?

If you're confident you don't have any malware (scan your machine) then a new Firefox profile should sort it out.

Gmail notifier works. The problem with Checker Plus is that it didn't go to my inbox. it would open a new tab and nothing would load.

How do I prevent Firefox from trying to find a website to match the search term I type in the address bar? For example, I put in "bobfish" and it took me to the website of some car dealership in West Bend somewhere that I'd never visited before. I wanted to do a Google search instead. I have the setting to use the address bar for search and navigation. It wasn't doing this until recently.

I've been using Youtube Link Title for years, but it also stopped working for me today. Usually when this happens it just means that youtube changed something and the script writers have to catch up and push out a new version. Takes a few days, usually. But concerningly, this time the script seems to have vanished from greasyfork, so I don't know what's going on there.

I found a discussion on reddit that says Link Title uses an expired YouTube API key which is why it's not working. They offer a solution which is supposed to give you a new one to paste into the code, but damned if I could get it to work.

AnimalChin posted:Like this? You don't even have to right-click. Once it's highlighted it pops up the definition. I was talking about using the built in OS dictionary/thesaurus/etc as it seems kinda silly to have to use a 3rd party dictionary/widget when there's a perfectly fine option built into the OS (that other browsers/apps have no trouble accessing). Something like: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lookup-in-dictionary/ is kinda what I'm talking about, but this isn't as smooth as other browsers as it actually opens up Dictionary.app rather than just showing the native popup widget. After some more research it sounds like the issue is Firefox doesn't include any native context menu items, so it's more than just "Look Up" that's missing (believe it is related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660452). I did discover that the native dictionary widget is still accessible via Ctrl + Cmd + D (or 3 finger tap if you have a trackpad), so that's what I'm going with for now.

So if everyone will be using their own API key for this now, then that means we're identifying ourselves to Google (or at the very least handing them a nice clear fingerprint) every time we load a page, anywhere on the Internet, that has a youtube link? Yikes.
