“Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?”
“Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?”
“Are you sure?”
FUCK OFF, I’M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY’S WEBSITE DOESN’T WORK WITH FIREFOX
Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.
Had to do that to do my fucking MATH HOMEWORK because Pearson “doesn’t work with Linux”. Switched my user agent to windows and all of a sudden it works just fine
I wish Microsoft and Google homies would just get beamed into a parallel universe to ruin with their bullshit…
They already did. We are the other universe.
I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they’re not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.
You and me both, but as long as we allow accumulation of capital, that’s not gonna happen, I’m afraid.
And for when switching user agents doesn’t work: ungoogled chromium saves the day
Thanks! I’ll have to give that a try.
You are welcome. Worked fine last time I tried it with e.g. the Teams web client (forced to use it for work still)
I cannot wait for Firefox to finally support WebUSB.
^(I literally cannot wait, it’ll never happen…)
It will happen when webUSB is an actual web standard with a proper RFC
I don’t see that happening
That’s why its called “Bloatware”
A windows user downloading a random executable and unchecking all of the boxes that install malware (it is easier than pressing one “Install” button in an app store):
Windows users removing spyware and telemetry while bragging about not having to touch a terminal.
A Linux user wouldn’t use chrome.
Is this a Firefox reference?
That looks badass and the perfect advert for Firefox (the browser)
Somehow I think people here aren’t into Soviet propaganda movies
I see now, this is linuxmemes@lemmy.world, not @lemmy.ml. My bad, comrade.
Lies, linux user would use firefox or something more libre over chrome
Librewolf here
Reminder that Edge for Linux exists.
Posting to Linux forum: “How do I enable Copilot in Word using WINE on Linux?”
Edgelord for Linux
Shoveling in RAM like coal into a furnace
If anything, I only use ungoogled chromium if a website refuses to work in Firefox. Had a financial fraud and identity theft scam the other day hosted on a Singaporean form service thing that I had to report using that browser because the send report button wasn’t working on FF.
As much as I don’t like it, it’s probably a good idea to have a backup chromium based browser like ungoogled chromium just in case. Just be sure to not be like me and actually have it in some sort of sandbox rather than running the flatpak on its own.
I was under the impression Flatpaks are sandboxed. (I am not an expert.)
Flatpak is a utility for software deployment and package management for Linux. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run application software in (partial) isolation from the rest of the system.
I also keep Ungoogled Chromium around as a last resort (AppImage in my case).
I wrote my own browser using WebKit. Chrome is bloat.
I mined and smelted my own silicon. Fuckin’ amateur hour out here.
Used to work on WebKit, built my own browser for a while, but damn if they kept breaking qt/WebKit all the damn time.
Ah, I am using WebKitGTK.
Currently version 4.1, though, as 6.0 is not supported on GTK3, and upgrading the project to GTK4 would possibly require a complete rewrite.
Is it a “traditional” web browser or yet another Gnome header bar app?
i3 and homemade web browser - this guy is legit
Looks good
Thanks!
Probably too bare bones for what I would look in a web browser, though. Still refreshing to see someone with a WebKitGTK browser not mimic Gnome Web.
How do you do security patches?
Recompile with updated libraries. There’s probably a better way, but it’s further down the list. This thing doesn’t even support downloads yet.
I hate, hate, HATE GTK.
Sorry, it’s visceral, can’t stand using GTK apps, but really hate the framework, it is just so badly hacked together, and QT spoiled me forever.
Need to build one again, this time with a python wrapper, wrote one for VLC and it’s spoiled me too.
i just memorized the entire web so i dont need to browse anymore. browsers are bloat
Did you publish it? What’s it called?
I call it Magellan. It’s nowhere near ready for production use, though.
What is this photo? What’s he wearing on his chest? Looks like some weird PCB with buttons?
Looks neat, I hope it’s real, but I suspect it’s AIGI.
Look at the perspective near his hands, either it’s the most crooked console ever or it’s AI
If you’re using any of the myriad of apps based on Electron I have some bad news.
I thought we hated AI here on Lemmy?
Well that is because i would have to install it first because i dont have chrome. Librewolf(firefox fork) for the win! Also i have a shorcut for the browser so its literally faster than most people on other systems. I just press super+w
Where is this from and how can I watch it?
Flight of the NetScape Navigator
Oh I can see the animated N now
Based on the nonsensical chest computer/armour and other garbled elements of the image I’m going to assume it’s AI-generated.
Look at the red buttons by the guy’s right hand. They look like a bunch of skittles of different sizes. It is definitely AI
Because it’s cheap greebling. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GbK_98uXAAAaD0I.jpg
Even cheaply you can still easily find something to make buttons that are of a consistent size and shape. And not put one of them on top of the edge panel of the console like one of them is on the picture. This is a typical telltale sign of AI: things that aren’t uniform when they should be and are located in nonsensical places.
There is also asymmetry and sewing lines that make no sense between the left and right gloves and what looks like is supposed to be a pair of pens on his upper right arm is just two nonsensical blobs of crome texture.
No one seems to know about what movie or show this is supposed to be from either…
Looks more like a late 80s movie to me. I assure you, we did not need AI to generate our nonsense for us.
How would one see anything with that dark of a visor and such low light
