We don’t even have it on desktop, yet. I wouldn’t use them as much as I do at work, where I use them to actively manage dynamic workflows. But it sure would be nice to be able to collapse some shopping tabs I typically have open, into one pinned tab group, or researching various projects.
Once they do it, I sure hope they put some more thought into how pinned tab groups should behave. They should either be to the left of all pinned tabs, or between pinned tabs and unpinned tabs. It drives me crazy in Edge, how new tabs tend to open to the left of my pinned tab groups.
Actually, I exclusively use Firefox Focus on my phone, so I don’t really care there. But I do wish they’d get out of this half-assed support for tabs, there. Just let me create new tabs without long pressing links. Maybe put a limit on number of tabs to 3 or 5. I’d also love to have a “send to desktop” option, without having to go to regular Firefox and tab sync.
They are working on it. They finally introduced full passwordless Webauthn on Linux and Mac about 5 versions ago. This work was part of the preparations for passkeys. It’s coming.
There was a firefox dev who explained a bit about all this somewhere in a comment thread on hacker news but I forgot to favourite or bookmark it :(
They’ve destroyed all the competition by offering a free service on the back on unlimited funding and then switching to an aggressive payment model once they have complete market dominance.
Google doesn’t care if ad block users stop watching. They want ad block users to watch ads or go away.
“After losing to Peter Thiel in last year’s contest, Elon Musk takes the title of WORST PERSON IN TECH 2023!” – With the vote split 84.1/15.9% over Jeff Bezos, and to no great surprise (except perhaps the margin). mastodon.online/
Even though I have premium, YouTube recently has been very hit and miss. Live streams keep buffering for no reason. Some videos failed to play and needed a refresh.
Just odd behaviour all around. In their battle to take out adblockers they destroyed the average viewer experience as well.
I don’t like what Peter Thiel has invested in (Stripe and Palantir). Elon Musk is ceo of a few companies that actually try to create interesting stuff, it’s better than actually funding collection of data.
He’s actively platforming white supremacists, Nazis, and far right ideologues (people who have caused actual, tangible harm), normalizing their rhetoric and actions, and making it impossible for anyone on Xitter to push back or even report harassment from these kinds of hatemongers. He is literally bringing the worst parts of 4chan, Breitbart, Stormfront, etc to the mainstream and trying to make it seem normal.
He’s also a natalist and a longtermist, which are just euphamisms for eugenicists. He’s not trying to make anything better or interesting, he’s trying to create a white supremacist world where only white cishet christian men have status, where women are just vessels for procreation, and no one else has any place. The only reason he wants to go to Mars is so he can have a white ethnostate built on the backs of slavery, where no one can do anything to stop him.
Nice for people that need it but I basically only require 2 - 3 extensions for mobile browsing and they were all supported already. There is a lot of overlap and extension redundancy out there. Many people still think they need like 5+ different privacy related extensions, for example, when uBlock Origin can do basically everything (including removing paywalls).
Yeah but I’m asking what the difference is between the extension and adding the extension’s filter list to uBlock. The other person said the extension is “more fully featured” but it doesn’t appear to do much more than circumvent paywalls. It still seems like an unnecessary extension.
To give one example. It puts a link on paywalled Medium.com pages to view the page’s content on another site since a nlock list will no longer be able to bypass the paywalled content on Medium.com.
Jesucristo. Can you guys just not use YouTube for like a month? Seriously, when they roll out unpopular features, just don’t fucking use it. Why is this all too hard to understand?
I have been using revanved for years, never really had major issues.
Also just not using the service isn’t going to change anything. I think Reddit was a good example of how companies really don’t listen to their users.
So I’ll just keep using it without ads, once it doesn’t work anymore I’ll just switch to the next solution or stop using YouTube. I do have Nebula so maybe I’ll just, only use that at some point.
