I like audiobooks on audible and my free trial has expired, I forgot to save some files through libation, so now, where can I pirate the audiobooks on audible?

1. Audiobook bay doesn't have the books I need
2. PirateBay has the book but not the same voice (I am a sucker for this man's voice, I even said as much in the review)

I just tried to skim through Linux User Manual and it was really quite informative and made me think of reading it someday, but I kinda know for a fact that that someday might never come, but it's truly a shame though.

Now, you, yes you! Have you read the user manual of your Operating system!

[I am wasting a lot of time on here, so I won't be engaging or enraging y'all, but this is a good convo topic, isn't it? (try that on a girl), I just wanted to know how many or how few people read UMs]___

Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an alternative and I found odysee.com/ and it seems to be open source and less prone to censorship, I was wondering what you guys were using or thinking of switching too. I think Odysee is FOSS which is giant plus for me and I absolutely love it's looks.

What do you guys think?

I realize this is lazy, but I did try to wiki this and I don't know if the numbers are accurate and it's pretty complicated to read.

I want to know the numbers on both sides. I realize this might seem a little unsensitive and there is a story behind every number, but I still want to know the human cost of war. Because it does look like it's one of the worst wars in terms of human cost in recent memory. Now, how many people have died in the war and are we doing everything we can to end the war?

Edit: War Casualties Stands at 500k (Russian + Ukrainian, excluding civilians), this number is from the https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/us/politics/ukraine-russia-war-casualties.html

I doubt the Ukrainian Death count mentioned here, 70k (200k casualties), I doubt if the death toll among the Ukrainians are that low.

Just to put things into perspective 58,220 US personnel died (Fatal casualties) in Vietnam which lasted close to a decade.

Edit 2: Abandoning this thread. I got my answer and I have been using Lemmy a lot these past days (and that's not good. We all have better things to do than sit infront of a computer)

edited the heading of the question. I think most of us here are reasoning why more people are not using firefox (because it was the initial question), but none of that explains why it's actively losing marketshare.

I don't agree ideologically with Firefox management and am somewhat of a semi-conservative (and my previous posts might testify to that), I think Firefox browser is absolutely amazing! It's beautiful and it just feels good. It has awesome features like containers. It's better for privacy than any mainstream browser out there (even counting Brave here) and it has great integration between PC and Phone. It's open-source (unlike Chrome) and it supports a good chunk of extensions you would need.

This was about PC, but I believe even for Mobiles it looks great and it allows features like extensions (and I hear desktop extensions are coming to firefox android?), it's just a great ecosystem and it's available everywhere unlike most FOSS softwares.

So why is Firefox's market share dying?

I mean, I have a few ideas why it might be, maybe correct me I guess?

1. Most people don't know how to use extensions well and how to use Firefox well. (Most of my friends in their 30's still live without ad blockers, so I don't think many are educated here)
2. It's just not as fast as Chrome or Brave. I can't deny this, but despite of this, I find it's worthy.
3. It's not the default.
4. Many features which are Google specific aren't supported.
5. Many websites are just not supporting firefox anymore (looking at you snapchat), but you would be right in saying this is the effect of Firefox losing it's market share not the cause (at least for now) and you would be right.

But what else?

I might take time (a lot of it) to get back at you, thanks for understanding.

occasionally I’ll find websites that don’t work 100% because they were coded primarily for chromium based browsers. FU Google

I was trying to disable telemetry on firefox after having refreshed it (it wiped out everything and reset everything)

And I found this github page to be very concise and to the point. If you are planning on disabling telemetry, this might help https://github.com/K3V1991/Disable-Firefox-Telemetry-and-Data-Collection

edit: Oct 2 This didn't solve the problem. i.e., it randomly still reappears sometimes.

edit: I refreshed firefox and except for one website, whatsapp and other websites seems to be working fine. Make sure you save the extensions and extension settings (and if you are not logged into your Mozilla account, everything else before you do it, even the themes, I lost a good theme because I didn't save it and even my mozilla account didn't sync it back)

I posted this a few days go and I am facing the same problem even now and I was wondering if someone knows how to make the clipboard paste thing work like Normal. I am using Linux. I can't paste images in some websites and texts in some websites at random times. One time it might work and another time it might not work. It was supposed to be a bug which was fixed by Monday (this monday), but it isn't fixed and it persists no matter what the state of dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled

How does it work anyway? I mean, how does Firefox make money? Are they paid per google search or something like that?

And, do they make money if I use forks of firefox and use Google on them?

And, what are the total number of active users for Mozilla and do the forks account into this count?
