#waterfox — Public Fediverse posts

idk when @waterfox.net became pro-AI. Being a soft fork, it wasn't free of Mozilla's slop, but issues INHERENT to "#AI" (diffusion/large language models) were seemingly grasped and considered.
One more "#foss" project lost to the world-killing theft machine. :(

Trying to install Waterfox on Linux Mint and am failing.
Copy-pasting the commands from their website into terminal I get this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
waterfox : Depends: libxcomposite1 (>= 1:0.4.6) but 1:0.4.5-1build3 is to be installed
Depends: libxrender1 (>= 1:0.9.12) but 1:0.9.10-1.1build1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And from Mint Software Manager (Flatpak):

@Tutanota using Waterfox at the moment and with minimal custom setup it's amazing. #waterfox @Waterfox

@withaveeay Now getting satisfaction from a variety of tracker blocking tech. (Though nothing stops the extensive info that a web site can gather in the first second or so).

#Waterfox with privacy set on Strict blocks most trackers and tells you how many.

The security screen on my phone is a daily reminder of what Apps have hidden in them and for which you have not given permission.

I'm genuinely surprised how much slower and clunkier #Vivaldi is on #Facebook than #Waterfox or #ZenBrowser. It's noticeable.

News from Minetosh online (https://www.minetoshsoft.com):

Update to “AmphiCalc-1” for calculating and classifying amphiboles!

The issues with Chromium-based browsers (e.g., Vivaldi) have been resolved. Successfully tested with #chromium and #vivaldi on #linux, as well as #chrome on #android.
Once again: Sorry!

Update von "AmphiCalc-1" zur Berechnung und Klassifizierung von Amphibolen!

Die Probleme mit Chromium-basierten Browsern (z.B. Vivaldi) sind behoben. Erfolgreich getestet mit #chromium und #vivaldi unter #linux, sowie #chrome unter #android.

Du nouveau chez Minetosh online (https://www.minetoshsoft.com):

Tous les modules d'« AmphiCalc-1 » destinés au calcul et à la classification des amphiboles ont été révisés. La saisie des valeurs pour déterminer la teneur en Fe₂O₃ et calculer les valences a été améliorée et simplifiée. Les calculs sont désormais effectués directement lors de la saisie. De plus, la valeur recherchée peut maintenant être déterminée plus rapidement à l'aide d'un curseur.

Malheureusement, il y a des problèmes avec les navigateurs basés sur Chromium (par exemple Vivaldi). Firefox et ses dérivés fonctionnent. Désolé ! Je vais essayer de régler ce problème dès que possible.

News from Minetosh online (https://www.minetoshsoft.com):

All components of “AmphiCalc-1” used for the calculation and classification of amphiboles have been revised. The process of entering values to determine the Fe₂O₃ content and calculate valences has been improved and simplified. Calculations are now performed immediately as values are entered. In addition, the desired value can now be determined more quickly using a slider.

Unfortunately, there are issues with Chromium-based browsers (e.g., Vivaldi). Firefox and its derivatives work fine. Sorry! I'll try to fix this as soon as possible.

Neues von Minetosh online (https://www.minetoshsoft.com):

Alle Teile von "AmphiCalc-1" zur Berechnung und Klassifizierung von Amphibolen wurden überarbeitet. Die Eingabe von Werten zur Bestimmung des Fe₂O₃-Gehaltes und zur Berechnung der Valenzen wurde verbessert und vereinfacht. Berechnungen werden jetzt direkt bei der Eingabe durchgeführt. Außerdem lässt sich der gesuchte Wert nun mittels eines Schiebereglers schneller ermitteln.

Leider gibt es Probleme mit Chromium-basierten Browsern (z.B. Vivaldi). Firefox und Derivate funktionieren. Sorry! Ich versuche, das so schnell wie möglich zu reparieren.

🌍 Waterfox and AI rooted browsers

https://social.netdynamics.eu/display/69a1b9e9-196a-704d-142f-4fe073009647

I'm glad @Waterfox Private Search has tweaked their UI to show more results, this makes it much more worthwhile and useful!

Now if they could just stop emailing me a code when I have to log in (which seems very frequent). At least give me the option to use TOTP instead!

The Programmer’s Fulcrum 31 July, 2026

https://newsletter.mobileatom.net/the-programmers-fulcrum-31-july-2026/

Unfortunately I ran into more strange rendering problems with Vivaldi on Android, particularly with Mastodon, so I wasn't able to stick with it as my main browser. It was good to give it a try all the same! I think I'll give Waterfox a try next, I've heard several people here recommend it already.

#browsers #vivaldi #waterfox

This is VERY weird. I tried watching a Learning The Harp video.

Vivaldi: black block of nothing. No video.

Same page/video in Waterfox: immediately video shows and plays.

Back to Vivaldi: video now shows and plays there too.

I don't understand this: Vivaldi isn't snooping in Waterfox's cache files, is it? Or is Waterfox better at pulling from a potential CDN? I've noticed this behaviour several times already. 🤔

#vivaldi #waterfox #browsers #media

At least there is a freebsd port.

I'm trying @Waterfox as browser from while, indeed is lighter as resources and the scrolling is, by default, a lot of smoother than other forks of Firefox I tried. Nice that includes also an adblock, that I pair with another privacy extension.
The only minus, it lacks of .deb packages, and I have to resort on flatpacks.
Well nothing is perfect, I guess.
