Hmm, #Proton suddenly stopped working in #LibreWolf. Decryption error.
"Proton account requires a modern browser", define: modern.
My LibreWolf is up to date.

I ran #BrowserBench on a few of the browsers I have installed on my Ryzen/Radeon Windows 11 machine and the results are typical (#Gecko browsers are slow) and unusual (#Opera is falling behind)

Hmmm. Looking at a Times article and the Enter Reader View option has been removed in my #LibreWolf browser.

The option is still there on other tabs, just disabled on the Times website.

#LibreWolf v140.0.2-1 is now available!

We've updated the default browsing data sanitizing config to a newer version of the settings. This _should_ not affect the actual settings at all (and did not during our tests), but we advise you check your "clear/remember history" related settings after updating anyway, just in case.

See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/140.0.2/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.

Don't know if this is a #Matrix issue, or a #LibreWolf issue, but I've been trying to join the latter's former and I'm getting this:

MatrixError: [403] You do not belong to any of the required rooms/spaces to join this room. (https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/client/v3/join/%23librewolf%3Amatrix.org?server_name=matrix.org&via=matrix.org)

I've tried clicking on a variety of things. Anyone know what the issue is? I wanted to ask a question and Matrix seems better than here, but now I'm doing a meta question here.

@librewolf for good measure.

I guess I should say, I was able to join the group(?), and can see rooms, but not join said rooms to comment.

CANNOT BELIEVE I have not been doing this for the past thirty years.

#Librewolf (or, you know, #Firefox, I guess) lets you add "keywords" to bookmarks. Type the keyword, hit return, go to URI directly.

Odd/annoying problem logging on to @mstdn @stux using @librewolf #Librewolf (a #Firefox fork) - it won't accept my username and password. I can't remember if it ever worked, but definitely not this week.

I just tried disabling any relevant extensions and even ResistFingerPrinting in case they were interfering, but nothing helped.

It's fine in Chromium-based browsers - e.g. Edge and Vivaldi, where I had either logged off or had never logged on before.

I have a dilemma with browsers: [solution found, see comments]
I really like Zen Browser but it has a ram issue on my computer which causes frequent crashes. I switched to LibreWolf and it's having the same issues. I'm on fedora.

Default Firefox does not have these issues, I'm thinking that's because it's a native rpm package and not a flatpak. There doesn't seem to be an rpm version of Zen or LibreWolf. I could switch to default firefox but it's got mozilla telemetry and extra features I don't want to see. I want a private browser, as of recently this probably isn't a great choice.
Is there any other version of firefox that isn't changed much? Or should I just use normal firefox?

ICYMI – Já ouviste falar do LibreWolf?
Há cerca de dois anos atrás partilhámos este artigo sobre o #LibreWolf, um navegador de código aberto focado em privacidade e liberdade #digital – sem rastreios, sem telemetria, só tu e a #web.

Se queres uma alternativa ao #Firefox mais limpa e respeitadora dos teus dados, vale mesmo a pena espreitar.

Firefox is dead to me • The Register

No notes. All good points. I'm still not going to a Chrome based browser. Not yet.
I hear Opera is nice if that day ever comes.

Main points:

• Shitty removal of promise to never sell your data from the FAQ.
• Hard pivot to AI that nobody wants.
• Killing programs people actually like and use.
• Losing on performance (again).
• Mass layoffs.

As is pointed out in the article, most of the crap comes directly from Mozilla and management, not the people doing development.
It could be righted with a massive leadership change that isn't going to happen.

I've switched to IronFox on my phone and LibreWolf on my laptops. I'll keep doing that as long as it's feasible.

I have to use Edge and Firefox at work because they are "approved" (along with Chrome) and centrally managed.

Edit: fixed a typo.

»Firefox experimentiert mit neuer Suchmaschine:
Mit der neuen KI-Funktion möchte Mozilla seinen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern ermöglichen, dialogorientierte Antworten auf Fragen zu erhalten.«

Nutzt dies wer von euch schon und wie ist es zum nutzen? Wird dies evt auch von @librewolf übernomen und sind KI Suchmaschinen wirklich besser als bisherige? Ich bin skeptisch hatte dies aber noch nie genutzt.

#LibreWolf v139.0.4-1 is now available!

https://codeberg.org/librewolf/bsys6/releases/tag/139.0.4-1

No major changes from LibreWolf's end.

Mastodon, I have a problem:

I'm using #Librewolf and I can't play any videos from any website. GIFs are ok, but videos… I press play and the image stays frozen.

Has this happened to anyone? Should I enable/disable anything in the browser settings?

Thanks!

PS: #LibrewolfOnMac

I've been using Tridactyl[1] for a long time now for keyboard-driven vi bindings in the browser and yesterday decided to check out the alternatives, thinking maybe they provided some interesting features too.

I looked them all up: Vimium, Vimium C, Vimmatic, SurfingKeys and the result is: I am in awe of how advanced Tridactyl is in comparison to all of them.

Native messaging*, comprehensive ex command mode for commands and settings with live-previewed completions; hint-based visual selection, copying and focus; support for local filesystem text-based configuration; binding sequential browser actions to custom commands; tab group commands; actually launching (neo)vim to edit text areas; ...to name a few!

* do bear in mind the security implications of native messaging, as noted by the developers themselves, but you can have most of the functionality without it
