Après vingt-trois ans de services presque loyaux, je viens de larguer #Firefox. La goutte d'eau qui a mis le feu aux poudres est "browser.ml.chat.enabled" désormais sournoisement mis à "true" chez Firefox alors que je n'en veux pas.

Le successeur désigné est #LibreWolf qui n'est rien d'autre qu'un Firefox correctement configuré.

(https://librewolf.net)

• allez dans « about:config »
• cherchez la clé « browser.ml.chat.enabled »
• allez chercher les gens corrompu·e·s de Mozilla corp. qui ont décidé d’intégrer cette merde de force alors que personne n’en veut et pétez leur les genoux
• mettez la valeur à « false »

Voilà de rien. À bientôt pour d’autres astuces. 😐

This post explains why and how Kaushik Gopal uses Firefox and provides some handy tips.

He recommends enabling the AdGuard filters in the uBlock Origin settings but the extension flags all of them as out of date. Any issues with these filters?

Update: I need to refresh and apply the filter list. Thanks @laurentb

Depuis quelques semaines j'ai remarqué un nouveau comportement de Firefox : quand je fais une recherche sur Duckduckgo, ma recherche apparaît toujours dans la barre de recherche une fois la page web affichée, au lieu de mettre l'URL de la recherche

Exemple en capture.

Vous avez ça aussi, vous ? Perso ça ne me plaît pas du tout…

Help people in censored countries bypass censorship by installing the Snowflake addon from @torproject ❄️

Whether you are running #Firefox, #Chrome, or one of the many other browser flavours (#Waterfox, #Edge, #Brave, #Vivaldi, etc.); once you install Snowflake, there's nothing else you need to do.

Then people can use your internet connection as a launchpad to the #Tor network. Clever stuff.

Today I learned through this blog post that Firefox has:

- A ' binding that will search only links
- The ability to override websites which disable right click by holding Shift

To the last hidden gem I'd add @ to search for search engines (how meta)

I've been using #Firefox for over 10 years. Only recently have I switched away from it as my primary browser, because frankly I don't think it has much life left (and my customers use
#Safari or #Chrome).

Markdown Here is a handy open source browser extension for inserting and rendering Markdown in email or rich text fields. Just type Markdown code and click the extension's button (or press Shift-Ctrl-M) to format the text. It also supports code blocks, tables, and math (via an external service).

Tip: to switch back to edit mode after formatting press the button or keys again.

Hey #Firefox hackers! My credit card issuer, Chase, does something funky where its page won't load unless it's in the focused tab:

https://secure.chase.com/web/auth/dashboard

I want to get it to load in the background instead.

Any ideas? I tried turning off all the lazy-load-enabled settings in about:config but that didn't work.

I mean, these ain't like in the old days where a few Megabytes got you #Pidgin and other Multi-Protocol Clients of the old days where everyone had to implement bespoke, custom and incompatible and *often completely undocumented, proprietary * protocols like #ICQ, #AIM, #SIPE, etc.

• Nowadays all these do have some kind of #WebApp or Web Interface one can just login (because *none of them do proper #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the keys!) so this should be way easier these days: All they do is do HTTP(S) GET/POST so the most critical part is to attain credentials like a #Login #cookie and to basically run a console on i.e. #Firefox to reverse-engineer the #API...

As much as I love the way #vivaldi_browser handles tabs and tab groups, I've reluctantly moved back to #firefox. Poor memory management and regular freezes make #Vivaldi almost completely unusable and it's been getting worse with every new release. Shame.
