Firefox users:
Do you have tab grouping yet?
(If you're not sure, click and drag a tab and bonk it into another tab. If you have tab grouping, they should group instead of just swapping places.)

After test-driving various browsers, I'm back with #Firefox
I tried Chromium, qutebrowser, Brave, Vivaldi, Zen & Floorp.
The minimal keyboard-driven UI of Qute was my favorite, but it lacks some mainstream extension support that I need.
Vivaldi can be customized with details like toolbar at the bottom, but had some crashers and oddities.
Zen's "Compact mode" is great, but it has a serious light-mode theming bug.
Firefox isn't perfect, but is today's sweet spot.
What's your fav browser?
This is how to disable the new “AI” chatbot in #Firefox:
- type
about:configinto the awesome bar - skip the warning for first time modders
- locate the
browser.ml.chat.enabledsetting and set it tofalse
In the #Librewolf fork, a thoughtful person has already done this for you.
(HT to @kuketzblog for the hint!)

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.
- So whilst Firefox OS had the most "#accessible" #Development #tools (literally using #Firefox for it and having every #App as #WebView|s / #HTML5+#JS5+#CSS3 files in a container), they didn't even sold us said devices, making it a worse flop than #UbuntuTouch which at least still gets some devices made that support it...
And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!
- Feels even more half-assed than #MobileCoin in hindsight…
KI-Chatbot in #Firefox über die about:config deaktivieren:
browser.ml.chat.enabled=false
Für #Librewolf nicht notwendig.
using #firefox or a derivative? Setting browser.ml.chat.enabled=false turns off the brand-new AI features.
You're welcome.
(RIP my mentions, muting this)

@thunderbird scrolling the #forbes page crashes my #firefox tab. For real.
Firefox 137 has been released, and it's a big one - revamped address bar, HEVC support on Linux, and tab grouping https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/04/firefox-137-new-features

I spent decades perfecting my linux dotfiles and emacs config - but all that changed in just five minutes.
I peeked into my classmate's laptop to copy the homework but I was awestruck by how awesome windows 11 is.
Nixos has rollbacks and emacs but Windows has recall and copilot inside notepad that has done my homework.
I had trouble choosing a browser on Linux after firefox shit its bed. But windows gave me a free microsoft account and bing assured me that Edge is the best.
Life's so good now with microsoft watching my back
. Take that linux shills!

A little late, but Week 13 of the #Privacy Roundup is here. I'm just going to blame it on this cold. 
This edition features:
- #Signalgate #signal
- 23andMe's bankruptcy - what's it mean for user genetic data?
- A man banned for life from a venue... based on data collected about him
- Sandbox escapes for #Firefox and #Chrome exploited in the wild (updates available)
... and more!
#Mozilla Announce Leadership Changes, Plans to 'Diversify'
How? It will continue to invest in #privacy-respecting #advertising; fund, develop and push #opensource #AI features in order to retain ‘product relevance’; and will go all-out on novel new fundraising initiatives to, get us all to chip in and pay for it!
"Mozilla's impact and survival depend on us simultaneously strengthening #Firefox AND finding new sources of revenue AND manifesting our mission in fresh ways"

Any folks still on #Firefox having moved to 136.0.4?
Trying to customize the toolbar on a new mac, and there seems to be no "new tab" button even in the "customize" window. Instead it's permanently up on the tab bar where I don't want it.
Are others seeing the same behavior? Thanks.

Anyone who has any idea on why Firefox is doing this and how to fix it?
The current CSS for this is very simple, it just sets opacity 0, position absolute and pointer-events none if the skip link doesn't have focus.

mastodon uno admin mozilla come proton: ha tolto ogni collegamento a mastodon dal suo sito ufficiale, sostituendolo con bluesky.
Invece Brave, Librewolf, Waterfox e Vivaldi mantengono il link all'account mastodon ufficiale nei loro rispettivi siti.
L'anno scorso Mozilla aveva chiuso la propria istanza mastodon e ora questo.

Ok.. it actually is that simple: https://medium.com/@mariovanrooij/adding-https-to-fastapi-ad5e0f9e084e
I don't know how many times I screwed that up in so many mysterious ways - mainly 'cause I was trying *somehow* to not have to run my script as root. It feels strange to run anything as root - you just don't do that, right?
But fine... #LetsEncrypt is pretty easy and awesome. It solves my #Firefox's fear of my little VM. I like to see machines getting along.
