Installed Floorp, just in case I need to ditch Vivaldi eventually due to it being chromium based. Seems to work so far, and Firefox's extension store has the same extensions I use with Vivaldi. E: I wish I knew how to add a titlebar to Floorp's window though. E2: Menu -> More Tools -> Customize Toolbar, then Check the box in the lower left corner. E3: Now to figure out if it is possible to disable this stupid hamburger menu and use a normal File/Edit/View etc menu layout..  E4: Heh, same customize toolbar page has it too. Welp. This might actually be usable now

And good to see the YouTube thing mentioned there is getting fixed. I could've sworn that was some measure Google had taken to annoy adblock users. E: looks like they intentionally removed the preference and in that bug report scramble to re-add it after getting enough negative comments. Mine would've been in there as well if Google had shown the Mozilla connect page when I was searching, instead of 50 listicles or "optimizer" software pages.

It's been a while since an update has borked something for me, but the last one brought back screen tearing when I scrolled. Haven't seem that one for a while. Went to about:config, "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" and set it to "true" then restarted and that did the trick.

Just started using Iceraven on my phone, after moving from Chrome to Floorp on the desktop... and I'm in love. All my extensions are there (ublock Origin, Sponsorblock and Tampermonkey), custom filter lists in ubo, like I-dont-care-about-cookies work, and I could even get my userscripts running in Tampermonkey. Browsing on the phone finally feels right again. Even with Vivaldi, pages haven't looked as clean as with ubo.

In the past few months Firefox started to slow wayyyy down when using Youtube. I like to have dozens of tabs open and it slowed to a crawl. I even added extra RAM to get 32 gigs total and it was still happening. The only way to fix it was to restart Firefox and it was fine for a little while before it started bogging down again. On a whim I tried Chrome and everything is zippy fast with zero issues. I'm using the exact same extensions on both browsers - ublock origin and bitwarden. Anyone know how to unfuck Firefox or is this normal?

Yeah that's just how YT is for me now. Works fine once the video loads, but takes a good 20-30 seconds to go between pages. I find it does get a bit (edit: a lot) quicker if I install UserAgentSwitcher and then tell it I'm Chrome, and then try not to open stuff in new tabs. Staying in the same tab with the agent switcher on keeps it quick. Nettle Soup fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Jun 29, 2024 |

Try running a personal invidious docker instance to get around what ever shenanigans Google tries to do with you on the youtube website. Or for the supreme method - put all your yt subscriptions in an rss reader and script yt-dlp to grab them for you and watch it all locally.

The kicker is though: it generates video metadata from the youtube descriptions for home-streaming servers, like Plex, Emby or Jellyfin, so your streaming server can pick up the videos, and they display beautifully in your home library.

Mozilla opened up addon support for mobile sometime around last December. If the extension author marks their addon as Android supported, it can be installed on an Android device. There isn't any gate keeping beyond that anymore.

Anyone who uses Snap Links Plus, it's currently causing problems on youtube. Right clicking anywhere on the site has somehow been turned into page down, which is a nuisance if you're trying to copy a timestamp. Given that the last update for the extension was three years ago  If only we could limit the sites an extension worked on, it wouldn't be a problem. I'd just set it to exclude youtube and allow everything else. Now I have to wait for the next youtube update to hopefully unfuck things.

Given it's only on youtube and I rarely actually need to right click there, I'm going to go ahead with the incredibly advanced technique of opening the video in chrome any time I need to copy a timestamp. Brave of me, I know.

I was reading the issues on the GitHub page and apparently there's a couple of "fixes". One is to use something like Stylus to set a custom CSS that changes the height of the page from 0 to literally anything else, for example "body { height: 1000px; }". The other is to zoom in. In some magnifications zooming in fixes the issue.

In some magnifications zooming in fixes the issue. First off, thank you very much for this. Setting zoom to 110% completely fixed my issues. I hadn't actually checked out github yet, I was going to give it another week for things to percolate and someone to offer a solution, so you going there saved me a week of bother. Again, thanks. This is exactly what exasperates (and amuses) me about programming. You have some issue where right clicking suddenly gets treated like pressing the page down key and the working solution is to increase the zoom. Of course, there are very good reasons for why it works, it's just that on the face of it, it's so drat stupid.

Well, this is weird. I got Firefox 129.0b1 today. On my Windows 11 PC running Firefox Beta, I get a new tab preview popup, but on my Win 10 work PC running Firefox Developer, I get the old style. Is this something specific to Windows 11, is it a difference in configuration somewhere, or does Firefox Developer not have all the patches that Firefox Beta has?

Heads up: Firefox 128 includes the Privacy Preserving Attribution API, which is a tracking API for advertisers that defaults to enabled and does not actually preserve privacy. To opt out of this nonsense, do the following:

Just so everyone can get their tinfoil hats on straight, PPA is not a google-originated thing. It's from Apple, and is already in Safari. IMO if you're using ublock, you don't really need to care about this. If you don't see any ads in the first place they'll never ask for the attribution API.

It was proposed a month ago, which contains a lenghty explainer. I understand that people who're using effective adblocking (ie. at the network level, combined with cosmetic filters, and aren't leaving themselves open to fingerprinting, et cetera ad nauseum) see it as an invasion of privacy - but it's intended to be less invasive than the amount of tracking that regular people are subjected to, not a way to block tracking completely. If you want to complain about this, you'll need to reach out to W3C. BlankSystemDaemon fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Jul 10, 2024 |

What is up with the extension store? I'm trying to find two things: something that gives me a lot of options for customizing tabs (multiple rows, groups, etc. - like the old tab mix plus in 2.x-3.x) and something to give me a force unload tab button without closing the tab. Yet no matter what I search for, I get a (different each time) set of completely unrelated results. I search for 'tab manager' and get VPN plugins. I search for 'unload tab' and get a bunch of download managers. Also if anyone has suggestions for those, since the search seems to be broken, I'm all ears.

For stuff like multiple tab rows, you'll have to use unofficial addons as they usually require additional APIs and stuff to be installed and are less safe than normal addons. They also have more complicated installation steps and can break on updates. Tab Mix Plus: https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus Paxmod: https://github.com/numirias/paxmod

I use Auto Tab Discard for the second thing, which is the most popular extension for it. It sounds like the search is second guessing you and correcting "unload" to "download". The name of the api for unloading tabs is "discard", so searching "discard" gives the best search results. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/
