    Since a few months, firefox by default doesn't switch from incognito back to normal mode when I close the only remaining incognito tab. Can probably be attributed to increased priv…

    Using YouTube only via Firefox with the uBlock Origin plugin works pretty well too. The simple solution without requiring any additional apps. Firefox has its own quirks which are …

    There's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Zoom for example. > A DZI has two parts: a DZI file (with either a .dzi or .xml extension) and a subdirectory of image folders. Each fold…

    Another option you have is to put the firefox search widget above you google search widget in your home screen. It's a bit ridiculous that the Google search bar can't be removed, b…
