Browser - Tumblr Posts
Firefox mobile on Android does have some weird hangups and sometimes it just doesn't finish loading the page. That said, I still have it set as my primary web rendering app on my Android devices because I like it better.
Sad thing is, if you really look at the "different" browsers out there... it's all Chrome*ium* / Blink engine.
Google Chrome: Chromium MF$T Edge: Chromium Opera: Chromium Vivaldi: Chromium
Firefox is using Mozilla's own Quantum browser engine.
seems that Chrome has around 60-65% market share, so it’s not totally dominating the market yet but it’s worrying that we’re basically reliant on Apple and Microsoft to hold the line.
On having opinions about your browser
My mom uses Firefox and my dad uses Chrome and they're both very opinionated on their browser of choice.
What’s really amusing about this is that the only reason my mom uses Firefox because is because I installed it on her computer many years ago, before Chrome existed. The only reason my dad uses Chrome is because when he finally got his first laptop, I was using Chrome at the time and so I installed Chrome on his computer.
So really, they're only opinionated about their browsers because at some point in the past I was the one who was opinionated about Firefox, and then later on I was the one who was opinionated on Chrome!
in case you haven't thought about switching to firefox yet, here's an extension that will...
Notify you if a website you're on has employees that are on strike
Bypass paywalls for major news outlets like the New York Times
Change the browser theme based on the time of day
Directly install third party non-extension scripts
Save individual browser sessions to be reopened at any time
Use the TV format of YouTube in-browser
Make all chrome extensions compatible with Firefox
Turn YouTube dislikes back on
Fix Twitter and make it way less fucked up
Automatically remove trackers from URLs
And many more!
Feel free to add any other firefox extensions you think are slept on.
Sometimes I’m looking for something online - often “how to” articles - and I want to filter for - like - a website that was clearly built in 2010 at the latest, which may or may not have been updated since then, but contains a vast wealth of information on one topic, painstakingly organized by an unknown legend in the field with decades’ worth of experience. I don’t want a listicle with a nice stolen picture in a slideshow format written by a content aggregator that God forgot. I want hand-drawn diagrams by some genius professor who doesn’t understand SEO at all, but understands making stir-fries or raising stick insects better than anyone else on this earth. I don’t know what search settings to put into Google to get this.
