@FediFollows welcome to the world @iFixit! Know you from my @restartproject days, and thought of you again yesterday, how timely: do you have any recommendations for adapting older hardware to the requirements of today's internet, namely: supported #browsers. Got all my #addons disabled yesterday on #Firefox, as my version of Mac (10.11) is beyond unsupported. Issues with Chrome too.
Will #mozilla ever learn how to DESIGN a UI/GUI and how not to annoy users?! O.o ... #firefox #thunderbird
I mean ... Seriously!
We are way in the 21st century and their software still looks and feels like it's 1987.
What the hell ..?!
@Rusty @dragonarchitect I disagree re: webOS and FirefoxOS.
#webOS failed due to lack of market penetration (there was only like 1 Tablet from #hp) and #FirefoxOS failed because @mozillaofficial didn't even offer to sell devices to folks like me and @fuchsiii that wanted one.
Add to that the absurdity that #Mozilla basically expected carriers (!!) to maintain and provide the #AppStore|s themselves and you get market fracturing worse than the "P.R." #China (!!!)…
It was mismanaged and self-sabotaged in the worst possible way.
The #Duopoly of #Android & #iOS wasn't unavoidable, but an outcome of #SelfSabotage and halfassed non-commitment by competitors!

Ich benutze seit Jahren Tabgruppen[1], ein Google Chrome feature. Turns Out: #Firefox kann das seit v133 auch, muss aber manuell in den about:config aktiviert werden. Für mich ein Game-Changer!

I've been inspired by @art to make Bocchi the Firefox !
Please use as you like
#firefox #BocchiTheRock
did you order the book _Careless People_ because #Meta ( #Facebook ) wants you not to?
Me too.
Another thing Meta wants you to do is leave their ad tracking feature turned on in #Firefox. It's easy to turn off https://blog.zgp.org/turn-off-advertising-features-in-firefox/
@faymm #Thunderbird @thunderbird ha afirmado que los cambios de #Mozilla y #Firefox no se aplican a Thunderbird. Ejemplo:

Mozillalta varoitus: Päivitä vanhentunut Firefox heti
Mikäli käytössä on Firefox 127 tai sitä vanhempi, on selaimen juurivarmenne vanhentunut. Tästä seuraa tietoturvaongelmia ja mm. lisäosat eivät ole enää luotettavia.
Kehotus koskee Windowsia, Linuxia, macOS:aa ja Androidia.

#IceCat extensions disabled because they're not verified?!!
WTF is this BS?!
Pues me acabo de enterar de que Wayback Machine @internetarchive tiene una extensión genial con versiones para todos los navegadores más usados. De la descripción:
"Retrocede en el tiempo para ver cómo ha cambiado un sitio web a lo largo de la historia de la Red, guarda sitios web, accede a páginas 404 no encontradas, o lee libros y artículos archivados."
Esta es la de Firefox (y derivados):

#Floorp 自分も応援はしている。
インストールはしているのだけど全然使えてはいないんだけど 
同じ #Firefox フォークのものだと #ZenBrowser のほうが UI 的には Arc インスパイアな感じでちょっと洗練されている気がしている。
そういう意味でも #Floorp にはより #Vivaldi 的な親近感もある（日本で開発されてるし
Firefox’s most popular top 10 add-ons are heavily dominated by ad blockers, revealing a strong user preference for ad-free browsing.

Nozilla (via @yoasif)
｢ Mozilla reduced granularity into the options for data collection in Firefox, enabled additional data collection by default, and gave itself the ability to use this new data for advertising purposes. Users would have to opt out of this data collection for it not to be used for advertising purposes (a purpose that Mozilla in this iteration is not forthright about) ｣
Had enough of big tech browser corpos like Google (Chrome) or Mozilla (Firefox) collecting your data and selling them to Advertisers?
Then it is time to uninstall them and get yourself a Norwegian browser Vivaldi with 0 external investors!
