I honestly think they either take the current userbase for granted or are convinced they're Stockholmed to the browser and won't leave no matter what. "It's ok. I can change And they obviously have no idea what users want, as demonstrated by all these wildly random changes that serve no real benefit other than change for the sake of change. I've lamented before about the other browser options being Chrome (or derivatives) and Edge. But now it's going to become just Chrome and its derivatives or Firefox. And I seriously tried just dealing with Chrome on my work computer, but something about it just annoys me to no end, so I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with regard to browser choice. I'm really annoyed that with every second major version I have to either re-learn muscle memory or dive into about :config and the idea of switching to a different browser altogether starts looking more and more enticing. Because at least then I know I'm going to have to deal with a large change and can mentally accept that, simply because I'm installing new software that I know will be different than what I'm used to.

nielsm posted:I've decided I can mostly live with the ugly growing for now, hoping that part will get changed. I'll stick with the non-XUL urlbar if that's going to be the future anyway. But I'm still disabling all the other dumb settings, especially browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus, browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips, and browser.urlbar.update1.view.stripHttps. Also browser.urlbar.update1.interventions but I have no idea what that's supposed to do, does anyone know? I think I might've had that last one happen to me on a different computer where I didn't bother setting all the about :config things: I get to google by going to the url bar, tabbing over to the search bar (gently caress all y'all single bar users) and hitting enter. Then Firefox put up a huge bar covering a lot of google explaining that I can just type in the search bar (please oh god we want the search referral money!).

Is there any addon that lets me open a big folder of bookmarks and have them only start loading once I switch to the tab? It's nice and all that Firefox warns when opening more than 25 tabs about how it might get all slow from opening so much stuff at once, but it'd be nicer if I didn't end up having to refresh tabs at the end of the row because they got 429'd (or worse yet, the server refuses all my requests for the rest of the day because I hit its rate limit). Tab Mix Plus (  ) could do it. And firefox can already kinda do it if you undo closing a window, but that requires having had it open first.

I know uBlock can also block based on the contents of objects. Requires some advanced syntax editing. I unfortunately never bothered porting it from my old computer. But I'm pretty sure you could use that to block the parts even if their name changes.

They put the tab bar context menu entries for closing multiple tabs in a submenu and they still didn't add "Close Tabs to the Left", so now it's a whole submenu for "Close Tabs to the Right" and "Close Other Tabs".

Or opening multiple tabs and not having it bog itself down by trying to load everything at exactly the same time, instead of just placing them a bit, which also helps prevent servers from blocking you with 429 errors.

OhFunny posted:Does only Firefox support add-ons in it's Android app? I know Chrome doesn't. I've unfamiliar with the other browsers. Firefox' add-on support is currently kinda in limbo. If you're still on the old branch you can run almost any add-on. If you're already on the new branch you can run a microscopic handful (including uBlock Origin). Supposedly they'd enable other add-ons later on, but that always sounded extremely sketchy to me* and recent events don't inspire confidence. For Android there's also Samsung Internet Browser, which is Chromium based but allows ad blockers through external apps. There's no uBlock Origin port as far as I know, but Adblock Plus is available as a last resort type of deal. It has poo poo all for configurability, though. Maybe Edge for Android will start supporting add-ons some day? Last time I checked was maybe a year+ ago. *Like how they were gonna fix the insane wasted space in the desktop Add-ons page.

Welp, my firefox for Android finally updated and within 5 minutes destroyed years of willingness to deal with its jank. About :config is still blocked, putting the url bar at the top where it belongs is terrible UX because the new tab drawer remains at the bottom. My top sites got nuked and only show 4 of them, not even filling the horizontal space because the icons are tiny. Also, three of them are sites I rarely used. The only thing it's really got going for it is ublock origin. Are there any other Android browsers that support that? Edge and Samsung Internet support only adblock plus, which is better than nothing, I suppose. But I'll miss being able to block specific elements (and specific goon avatars).

While Firefox.... Inept management that can't convince investors of the fact that invisible improvements that fix long-standing issues are more important. Or it's just "designers" running the show, forcing their "Grand Vision" on the masses.

grillster posted:Does the Play Store allow downgrades? I have used the version selection feature on the F-Droid store to work around unwanted or unstable updates. No.  E: Trip report on Samsung Internet Browser and Edge for Android: Both have Adblock Plus support, which is a huge step down from uBlock Origin, but a larger step up from nothing. Samsung Internet Browser: Pretty good, but has weird quirks in that it doesn't support the double tap > drag zoom gesture. It also doesn't support my password manager (Bitwarden) because it has whitelists for which managers it allows to use the Android autofill API. This alone made it unusable for me. Edge for Android: Pretty decent. Though sometimes text is rendered at wonky too-large sizes. Try reading Leper's Colony on a phone screen in portrait mode and you'll get what I mean. Will habitually forget ALL cookies every x days with no setting to change this behavior. Trying to google for it is also incredibly frustrating because it's all either about the desktop version or how to delete cookies, instead of preventing deletion. Over all Edge wins out for me, but it'd be nice if they fixed some of the wonkiness before adding more crap like optional news rating services and honey coupons. At least they're disabled by default.

Compositing says "Direct3D 11 (Advanced Layers)", while towards the bottom WEBRENDER_QUALIFIED says "available by default; blocked by env: Monitor refresh rate too high", so I really don't know if it's on or not?

On Terra Firma posted:Has anyone ever had a problem where one computer in your household is having trouble accessing google accounts/youtube (can't get past the log in screen, it just says sorry something is wrong try again) on Firefox where it works fine on 2 other computers all sharing the same connection? I have been trying to get into my account for two days straight on my desktop and have made zero progress. It works just fine on my laptop though. Cleared cookies/cache, made sure windows and Firefox were both up to date. I'm completely at a loss for what could be causing issues only with Google and its account system on one computer but not the others. I got completely locked out of my gmail account on exactly two computers from having a userscript with some outdated and slightly busted javascript running that ran on all sites. Took me forever to figure that one out. It'd just say there was a technical problem and to try again later, clicking 'more details' said error code was 3 or sometimes 4. Maybe you got something similar going on?

4000 Dollar Suit posted:Is there an Addon that will block videos from you tube with certain key words in them? every where I go sends me to "video blocker" and it was last updated 5 years ago, tried it anyway and it doesn't work at all no surprise. If you want to block certain users there's the userscript Block Youtube Users. It's a bit janky, but works. Doesn't stop them from appearing in the grid at the end of videos, though. But you can add this filter to uBlock Origin to do that: www.youtube.com##a.ytp-suggestion-set.ytp-videowall-still:contains(Linus Tech Tips) It's case sensitive and will block unintended stuff if you're not specific enough or the channel name overlaps with other channels. Still better than seeing Linus' cursed face everywhere. I guess you could also get creative with filters and do it all in uBO, but that seemed like way too much hassle to me.

This seems to work very well for stopping similar stuff too and is how I've aggressively culled shapiro / jorp et al from ever coming up. That'd work if I were willing to stay signed in to the google account I use for youtube and let google track everything I do on the internet through it. I'm fully aware that I'm making this much harder than it has to be for myself. And that I probably should look into setting up that account containers addon to save myself the hassle.
