#browserchoice — Public Fediverse posts

Just switched to @orionbrowser on iOS (EU) and I’m super happy with it! Finally, a browser that supports @ublockorigin and other extensions—something Firefox and Chrome still can’t do on iPhone. Big thanks to the @kagihq team for making this possible. 🚀

Microsoft is updating Windows for EEA users to comply with the DMA, including changes so Edge won’t prompt users to set it as default unless they open the browser. #Microsoft #Windows #DMA #Edge #EEA #TechRegulation #BrowserChoice #TechNews

if you use @zenbrowser but prefer a regular new-tab page (instead of the urlbar only), set `zen.urlbar.replace-newtab = false` in about:config

while it's an interesting idea, it does not work for me. I like to show the bookmark toolbar on new tabs which only works if I turn `replace-newtab` off. #browserchoice

#BattlEye is an anti-cheat system used in some of the leading online multiplayer games. Unfortunately, it can get a bit grumpy when #VivaldiBrowser is set as the system default web browser.

You can now get the #VivaldiBrowser in the Microsoft Store on Windows: for those times when you can’t even be asked to open Microsoft Edge to download another web browser. #BrowserChoice

Do you have any thoughts on this new prompt that Microsoft puts up when you click on a link in the Microsoft Outlook app for Android? The right option is always to use the system #DefaultBrowser! #BrowserChoice #MicrosoftEdge

I strongly dislike the captive audience prompts that Microsoft forces on Windows users. Microsoft shouldn’t misuse Windows Updates and security patches as an opportunity to market its other products to customers. #BrowserChoice #TyrannyOfTheDefault
