Glad I've finally migrated to firefox...

[–] Beaver 27 points 7 months ago

There it is. Firefox and Librewolf will guide us out of this mess.

I use Firefox but when I watch twitch or wherever, I need Google chrome's live caption to see what streamers say.

Firefox please get this feature asap. So I can delete Google chrome for good.

Please just us in using Firefox.

If you use anything Google, you are the product. This has been pretty obvious since the early 2000's, yet people dive right into all the crap they release.

Firefox ftw.

I've actually been using Waterfox lately though because for some reason there's a video codec issue on Firefox that makes YouTube videos not play correctly.

Gee, what a shame. Good think I switched to FireFox. Hey, does anyone know how to make chat work on FireFox?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

chat?

Some of us never left Firefox.

Proprietary software sucks, use an open source browser like Librewolf.

I know everyone is doing the "use Firefox" thing, but please remember that Acer alone sold almost a million Chromebooks globally in 2023.

Sure, many of those people probably weren't going to use it anyway, but plenty were. I installed it on my daughter's Chromebook that she was forced to use for school.

I use chromium for one thing, and it's casting live sports to my Chromecast. My plans to implement a HTPC have just been expedited.

Will a pihole fill this void?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

Not at the same level. Ublock can remove way more granular spam and ads than pihole, which is limited at DNS requests. I use both... Running Firefox of course.
