what browser do you use? firefox?

@lily Jul 6, 2023, 7:14 AM

firefox fork called librewolf

@toaks Jul 5, 2023, 7:47 PM

I like the browser mods It can be a lot but it's good for customization or limiting CPU/RAM usage

@asfsdgdfd Jul 5, 2023, 8:48 PM

yup :D

@chester Jul 5, 2023, 7:36 PM

It has a lot of features, but it's sketchy and I don't think it's open source.

I like edge’s homepage so I use that. Maybe I should switch though.

@asfsdgdfd Jul 5, 2023, 8:49 PM

you LIKE edge’s homepage??? Bing is horrible and MSN is laggy/annoying/full of ads.

@dertermenter Jul 5, 2023, 8:51 PM

yes! All my favourite tabs spread across, a nice background, football scores on the right, interesting news articles on the left, and I can also switch the football scores tab with the weather. What more could you want?

@asfsdgdfd Jul 5, 2023, 8:57 PM

a non-slow homepage, actually good search engine, and microsoft not pushing BingAI to you at every turn

@dertermenter Jul 5, 2023, 9:08 PM

it’s not slow, I set the default search engine to google, and yeah fair point kept getting that popup

@asfsdgdfd Jul 5, 2023, 8:58 PM

also, msn news is cringe (sometimes) D:

@allyz Jul 5, 2023, 9:20 PM

oh youre so real for that

i havent touched anything on it for recommended stuff so the trending just gives me conspiracy theories and purposely inflammatory or exaggerated articles

@allyz Jul 5, 2023, 9:20 PM

and most of the articles on the top have more dislikes than likes

See more replies

@dertermenter Jul 5, 2023, 9:42 PM

disagree, the sport articles are relevant and the other stories are to do with juicy gossip that I like

@radi8 Jul 5, 2023, 10:03 PM

AHHHHHHH

@asfsdgdfd Jul 5, 2023, 7:03 PM

YES (i use it)

@asfsdgdfd Jul 5, 2023, 7:06 PM

It has free adblocker, free tracker blocker, free vpn, force dark mode, twitch/discord/twitter integration, ram/cpu limiting, ytmusic/spotify integration sidebar, and better bookmark managerment

@mybearworld Jul 6, 2023, 4:46 AM

Free adblocker: Just install uBlock Origin.
Free tracker blocker: That’s integrated in every other browser.
Free VPN: Using a free VPN is the one of the stupidest things you could do for web security, and companies that offer one aren’t particularly trustworthy.
Force dark mode: This is available in Chromium browsers via a flag.
Twitch/Discord/Twitter integration: How is this different from just having Twich/Discord/Twitter pinned?
RAM/CPU limiting: Fair enough. Using it just because of that is probably not a good idea though.
YouTube Music/Spotify integration: See 5.
Better bookmark management: Can you elaborate?

@silly Jul 6, 2023, 6:12 AM

people are sleeping on the dark reader extension

@mybearworld Jul 6, 2023, 10:49 AM

It can break sites you already have in dark mode

@silly Jul 6, 2023, 11:42 AM

yeah it does

but i just turn it off

@asfsdgdfd Jul 6, 2023, 12:19 PM

i don’t usually use vpn, and i only use it to get around rate limits/article limits on websites (not for apis or anything just to read more than the 3 articles or something a month.

Cause you don’t have to have the tab open…

My computer has very low RAM and when I’m gaming and using Chrome/Firefox/etc., it’s terrible
But i like the sidebar

Also, I just like the Opera GX Ambiance :)

@mybearworld Jul 10, 2023, 2:26 PM

I still wouldn’t necessarily trust a company offering this
what exactly do you mean?
Aren’t there programs for that?
Edge has something similar to that? But it’s useless anyways.
