Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Perhaps one day the internal browser wars will subside, my transit history will persist a single cache, my settings and extensions and preferences will export to a single file...

One can dream... instead there's...

Firefox
LibreWolf
Chromium
Ungoogled-Chromium
Iridium
Otter
Brave (via linuxulator)
Vivaldi (via ^^)

The first four receive an approximate equal share of my attention. Loader scripts for multi-profile non-Singleton-Locked states, alterations to pixel/dpi scale, de-clutterization, dark-plugins, blockers, ooooooh make it stop

@winterschon@bsd.cafe I would love to use LibreWolf or one of the other Firefox based browsers, but their code base is too old for one of my core add-ons to work. 😞

@toran@mastodon.tjs.is Brave is awesome overall, and at present their sync chain method has been nearly impervious to split-brain conflicts across multiple devices.

Otter browser is ultra minimalist approach, has almost no chrome or aesthetics to alter, which is a benefit and detriment depending on use case. I like using it for single window admin apps (iKVM, iDRAC, PiKVM, etc) due to the lower resource load.

@winterschon@bsd.cafe ta for that. I've never really tried Brave sync, to be honest.

That might be something to check out, ta, as I can certainly see a use case for such a minimalist browser! 🙂
