  1. I use the #edgebrowser as a toxic waste site for any tabs that have to interact with corporate tracking malware like #gmail or #sharepoint etc. They make it very very hard not to open the #MSN home page when you start a new tab. You have to install a f&*(ing extension to get a blank page and even then, there are 6 steps where they disable it, offer confusion options to prevent you enabling a blank page and then finally when it works, ask you if you're sure you wanted a blank page for your new f&*(ing tab. Get lost #microsoft..

  5. #Google to End #ManifestV2 Support in #Chrome, Disabling #uBlockOrigin and Other #AdBlockers

    […] “Users can switch to a non - #Chromium browser such as #Firefox, which continues to support Manifest V2 extensions”.

    “Firefox continues to support Manifest V2 alongside V3 extensions, and #Mozilla has stated it has no current plans to remove V2 support”.

    #RaymondHill, the developer of uBlock Origin, pointed out that Firefox offers the best experience for users who want full uBlock Origin functionality”.

    “The Chromium standard is also affecting other major browsers such as #MicrosoftEdge and #Opera. While some have indicated they may support V2 temporarily, the overall trend points toward adopting Manifest V3 across the Chromium ecosystem”.

  18. Here are comments on the evolution of browser share in a year.
    (The three samples are heavily skewed to English-speaking higher eds.)
    Last year results: techhub.social/@estelle/112047
    You may still answer in the previous toot.

    3/4 Fediverse members use #Firefox proper. Same as last year.
    We welcome other parts of the Firefox family (any browser with Gecko inside):
    • The share of Librewolf mentions doubled since last year.
    • The share of other Gecko-based forks mentions also doubled since last year. (Even though some Waterfox usage is not logged because i did not list it.)

    The shares of Chrome and Vivaldi were stable for the first thousand answerers (maybe more IT inclined) but doubled with the later thousand (in the last 24 hours).

    The share of the last line (Opera-Blink-Brave mentions) decreased since last year.

  21. I used to trust #Microsoft more than other #bigtech platforms, mostly because I used #Excel a lot in my work.

    I switched from #Chrome to #EdgeBrowser a long time ago for work (and use #Vivaldi for private stuff).

    However I just had to set up my work profile in Edge again today, and Microsoft's #consent for #tracking has really gone to shit.

    Look what they consider to now be 'Always Active' (i.e. not requiring consent): [picture]

  22. @FlashMobOfOne I'll do you one better. I'm uninstalling #Windows wholesale, because I have finally lost interest in harboring corpo malware/gov #spyware on my devices intentionally anymore, which doesn't seem to offer any valid advantage itself over other systems anyway.

    #windowsupdate, #msstore, #msdefender, search app, #edgebrowser, shell-embedded ads, nonstop logging and telemetry, things just refusing to function reasonably because Windows knows that it's a day that ends in "Y" -- Windows ceaselessly masturbating itself in various elaborate ways finally ran out my last iota of sanity.

    In my assessment, the point of me having my computer was for me to use it, not just to have it sit there wasting time touching itself — and galavanting in the background with my system resources as if it had worse ADHD than me while I seethe and reach for the #ProcessHacker on my taskbar that I've kept perpetually open with Admin rights for most of the last decade (along with #ResMon and #TaskMgr; in order to combat Windows' defensive strategy of gaslighting the user about what it is or isn't doing) — instead of actually doing what I tell it to.

    Anyway, enough about bad operating systems. Anybody happen to feel any particular preference between #CrunchBangPlusPlus (#!++) and #BunsenLabs #Debian? Haven't decided yet which I'm settling on (I have them both loaded on a #liveusb using #Easy2Boot / #Ventoy), but I was a daily driver of og #CrunchBangLinux back in the day.

  23. Anyone in #webdev ... are these legitimate user agents?

    Surely Microsoft would not let their UA read "Edg" missing the ending e...

    I've been getting requests for website content the past few days to totally random stuff *that I am actually hosting*, from completely random IPs all over the world... just seems very odd.
