  1. I keep seeing people mentioning Floorp, but I can't find out what it brings to the table that all the other Firefox forks don't. Is it just a fork for weebs?

    #Firefox #Floorp

  2. #Floorp 12.17 (basé sur Firefox 154) continue à se « vivaldiser » avec la possibilité de créer des piles d’onglets sur deux niveaux (donc une double barre d’onglets : une principale et une secondaire avec les onglets groupés ou les onglets « enfants » affichés dans celle-ci) !

    Option à activer dans le Floorp Hub, et qui nécessite de relancer le navigateur pour être opérationnelle ou désactivée.

  3. @rashunda

    Former #VivaldiBrowser (on Windows) user, #ZenBrowser user for the last 2-3 years

    I was initially excited by Vivaldi (also a former #OperaBrowser user), but when I dropped Windows, I dropped all proprietary software not absolutely required for my work. Eventually settled on Zen (after #Floorp & #Firedragon) but always keep an eye out for FLOSS alternatives

    Tried #Cryptpad in Zen last week & a few things (Docs) got stuck on "Loading" in Zen, but would load fine in plain Firefox

  4. Wow, too bad missing out lately. Still no Firefox VPN and now no widgets. Seems like I have to go back to regular Firefox... but i love @floorp

    Please Floorp Team, make this happen.
    お願いします 🙇

  5. Goodby #floorp why did you implement and activate #AI in your browser by default???

  6. Wer in letzter Zeit viel mehr Werbung im Netz sieht, der verwendet vielleicht einen Chrome-basierten Browser, auf dem jetzt die beliebte #uBlockOrigin -Erweiterung nicht mehr läuft (danke, Google).

    Bis der #ladybird browser draußen ist, macht es deshalb Sinn, jetzt zu #Firefox zu wechseln. Für wen sich FF der Standard-Variante immer etwas langsam und umständlich anfühlt, dem kann ich #Floorp empfehlen: floorp.app

    Floorp is kompatibel mit allen Firefox Addons, also auch mit denen im Bereich Sicherheit: addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/

    Und mit diese ⬇️ 6 Erweiterungen macht das Surfen auch wieder Spaß.

  7. Fancied a browser change, so this comes to you from #Floorp. Better than native #Firefox from my first impressions (I like pinning sites like Bluesky into the side panel for immediate split screen use) but includes Mozilla sync for cross-device use.

  8. So far everything has been pretty ho-hum with the #AsahiLinux.  The only thing to note is that #Floorp is having some graphical glitches on the home/search page.

    Here is the obligitory #fastfetch that used to be in vogue...

    I have migrated to and for quite a long time already, but never got round to uninstalling . I just did! 🍾

    It did leave behind more than what the docs (mzl.la/1xKrDkl) say.

    Using `find ~ -name "*firefox*"`, I found the rest of the files and deleted them.

    FOSS NEWS

    MidnightBSD 4.0.4 Released With Aged & Agectl For Age Verification/Attestation:
    phoronix.com/news/MidnightBSD-
    (I wonder what the heck is going on in the project that they didn't want to comply, and then they suddenly do... Hopefully it won't happen to more currently non-compliant projects)

    GhostBSD says no to age verification, but will probably comply with age attestation laws:
    forums.ghostbsd.org/d/793-free
    (Now that's pretty sad, GhostBSD was one of the systems I would consider if I ever decided to switch to BSD. I'll stay on Linux because there are quite a few distros who openly oppose this nonsense, but I'd like to see at least one BSD system fully opposing just in case)

  14. Konform Browser 140.9.0-100 has been released!

    See release notes for details.

    codeberg.org/konform-browser/s

    Besides latest security fixes from #mozilla there is a bunch of updates from #konform #browser. To name a few:

    - Reorganized Security Settings with new global configuration for WASM, JIT, WebRTC, WebGPU, Geolocation, DOM Push, etc...

    - Security Settings also expose UI for enabling First-Party Isolation (same behavior as Tor Browser) and tweaking Enhanced Tracking Protection.

    - Bundled depropped Multi-Account Containers allows configuring per-container proxies and makes container tabs part of core browser experience without having to install telemetry-laden addons.

    - Profile Import now supports importing profiles from #firefox and compatible #browsers (#firefox_esr, #floorp, #ironfox, #librewolf, #midori, #palemoon, #waterfox, #zenbrowser)

    - Spoofing of Navigator.sendBeacon.

    - #privacy improvements and defense-in-depth

    - Various bugfixes and minor improvements
