"Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?"
"Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?"
"Are you sure?"
FUCK OFF, I'M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY'S WEBSITE DOESN'T WORK WITH FIREFOX
Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.
Had to do that to do my fucking MATH HOMEWORK because Pearson "doesn't work with Linux". Switched my user agent to windows and all of a sudden it works just fine
I wish Microsoft and Google homies would just get beamed into a parallel universe to ruin with their bullshit...
I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they're not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.
You and me both, but as long as we allow accumulation of capital, that's not gonna happen, I'm afraid.
They already did. We are the other universe.
Report the error to the company and to Mozilla.
That's basically never an error, but malice. But I admire your naivity :)
Oh, I agree with you. But the more we publicize this, the more pressure we can apply to site devs to support multiple browsers.
These companies typically have management take the IT advice from their IT managers, and if those intentionally block non Windows/Google/fascist software, you don't find anyone in the organization willing to listen to you. The only way to fight this is by not doing business with them whenever avoidable.
Thanks! I'll have to give that a try.
You are welcome. Worked fine last time I tried it with e.g. the Teams web client (forced to use it for work still)
I cannot wait for Firefox to finally support WebUSB.
^(I literally cannot wait, it'll never happen...)
YES. I have to keep chrome installed on at least one desktop or laptop if I want to flash firmware on ESP devices.
That's why its called "Bloatware"
A windows user downloading a random executable and unchecking all of the boxes that install malware (it is easier than pressing one “Install” button in an app store):
I switched my main to linux about a year ago and install everything through terminal at this point.
I had to download something on a windows system once recently and i was not prepared with how backwards this entire process felt.
I cant understand how i had stuck with such bullshit for so long.
These days if I can't install it with winget I'm not installing it
Scoop/Chocolatey/WinGet. In that order.
Some info on each for the uninitiated: https://daftdev.blog/2024/04/01/chocolatey-vs-scoop-vs-winget---which-windows-package-manager-to-use/
Windows users removing spyware and telemetry while bragging about not having to touch a terminal.
Shoveling in RAM like coal into a furnace
Missed opportunity to say “installing NVIDIA drivers” instead 🤣
I wrote my own browser using WebKit. Chrome is bloat.
I mined and smelted my own silicon. Fuckin' amateur hour out here.
i just memorized the entire web so i dont need to browse anymore. browsers are bloat
A Linux user wouldn't use chrome.
If anything, I only use ungoogled chromium if a website refuses to work in Firefox. Had a financial fraud and identity theft scam the other day hosted on a Singaporean form service thing that I had to report using that browser because the send report button wasn't working on FF.
As much as I don't like it, it's probably a good idea to have a backup chromium based browser like ungoogled chromium just in case. Just be sure to not be like me and actually have it in some sort of sandbox rather than running the flatpak on its own.
I was under the impression Flatpaks are sandboxed. (I am not an expert.)
Flatpak is a utility for software deployment and package management for Linux. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run application software in (partial) isolation from the rest of the system.
I also keep Ungoogled Chromium around as a last resort (AppImage in my case).
Flatpaks are as sandboxed as the sandbox settings you give them, check out if the defaults are satisfactory on Flatseal before running it.
Where is this from and how can I watch it?
Based on the nonsensical chest computer/armour and other garbled elements of the image I'm going to assume it's AI-generated.
Look at the red buttons by the guy's right hand. They look like a bunch of skittles of different sizes. It is definitely AI
I mean, have you ever looked at Start Trek costumes closely? Shit's wild...
Also it's quite grainy and the handle-thingy in the front (bottom right) is out of focus. Not sure AI can be this imperfect yet, though it's just a matter of time.
How would one see anything with that dark of a visor and such low light
Reminder that Edge for Linux exists.

Librewolf here
Alt-D, "chr", Enter
Who am I kidding, I use Firefox.
Well that is because i would have to install it first because i dont have chrome. Librewolf(firefox fork) for the win! Also i have a shorcut for the browser so its literally faster than most people on other systems. I just press super+w
