Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.

Firefox's stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech "journalist" take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to "track" users which is blocked.

Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn't do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.

Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as "privacy friendly" and see how soon its usage stats drop.

This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.

This looks neat. It'll be sweat it it could get

  • tap gestures (double tap -> launch app)
  • Use app shortcuts as icons in pins (My apps shortcut instead of play store app)
  • lock desktop mode

Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.

I mean I hope they stop, but they didn't stop with all the bad publicity already, what's another setback.

Mostly on Lemmy with Voyager, and sometimes check Reddit with Libreddit (until it lasts).

Best of both worlds.

Wow, Linaro. that's a name I haven't heard in a while. They were the ones to optimize Android builds during the IceCreamSandwich days and just last day I was wondering if there were any third party optimization project still out there. All the best to them.

Thanks for making this but some screenshots or a walkthough would be nice. Also any plans to publish it on f-droid?

Scoop for me. 1 more layer of audit, 1 additional layer of trust. There are occasional hiccups but they haven't broken my trust yet.

uBlock Origin is a must. Then Stylus with a global-dark userstyle. Very light on resource than Darkreader.

 

A look at the darker side of MrBeast’s philanthropy and the wider philanthrocapitalist model it's a part of. Looking specifically at #teamseas and a partnership with Jennie-O, I attempt to untangle how corporations and conglomerates like Coca-Cola, chemical and oil companies, and big meat monopolies all have a vested interest in financing certain ‘philanthropic’ projects while side-lining others. This is a story that takes some surprising twists and turns, from whitewashing, greenwashing & ‘funwashing’ sponsorships, to illegal price-fixing, an endemic of farmer suicides, and leaked corporate emails to influence charities. Examining the roots and consequences of ‘philanthrocapitalism’ tells us a lot about how lobbying works under modern capitalism. This is a long video, but it’ll be worth it to tell this story properly.
