The current JPEG XL decoder in #Firefox apparently consists of more than 100,000 lines of multi-threaded C++
For just decoding an image format.
Not sure what it says about the format, the implementation and the Internet at large.

Librewolf is exactly what Firefox should be.
To the point where I find in #Librewolf new features I was explicitly missing in #firefox (like clicking on the lock to enable/disable cookies for a specific website)
And, yet, it works perfectly in #debian thanks to extrepo. But, seriously, it should be considered as the default Debian browser.
Congratulations to the team!
Don’t wait on Mozilla, switch to Librewolf !
Mozilla 迁移 Firefox 主仓库到 GitHub。

I'm not looking forward to the moaning about how important #firefox security fixes are. A project that pushes "security fixes" continuously for 20 years is insecure on a conceptual level.
OK my transfer from #Firefox to #Vivaldi now fully complete. No buyers remorse at all.
#Passkeys on every site you can, make everything so much better, btw
A few notes:
#Vivaldi after tweaking UX really can be a #Calmtech solution - at least as much as any browser can. But you can tweak EVERYTHING on it.
#Vivaldi's RSS feed feature - way more helpful than I thought.
#Already have about 10 ideas on how they could integrate the Fedi even more into the browser.

Mozilla removes uBlock Origin Lite from Addon store. Developer stops developing Lite for Firefox; "it's worrisome what could happen to uBO in the future."

Are there any web browsers that are NOT chromium that support PWAs?
I know Firefox said they're looking back into it a few weeks ago for desktop. But I figure that'll be a while. Currently I'm using a base chromium fork for my desktop, but wondering if there are other options.
scientific operations: the bare minimum firefox configuration guide:
While #mozilla may have backed off from their over-broad rights grant for information posted via #firefox the underlying rationale for why the change is happening now continues to be unclear.
Many seem to think that this has to do with #california #ccpa - as I was exploring that, I took a deeper dive into Mozilla's new #privacy policy.
My takeaway?
It appears that Mozilla may have been sharing more data with Mozilla's ad partners than you expected: https://www.quippd.com/social/posts/2025/03/02/who-else-is-surprised-that-mozilla-uses-technical-and-interaction-data-for-advertising-purposes-on-the-new-tab-page.html

#Astuce Pour désactiver le nouveau chatbot dans #Firefox (qui est maintenant activé par défaut) :
allez dans « about:config »
cherchez la clé « browser.ml.chat.enabled »
allez chercher les gens corrompu·e·s de Mozilla corp. qui ont décidé d’intégrer cette merde de force alors que personne n’en veut et pétez leur les genoux
mettez la valeur à « false »
Voilà de rien. À bientôt pour d’autres astuces. 😐
