Bypass Chrome altogether. Use Firefox.

If only Mozilla (the parent organization) wasn’t horrible. Can’t a non-crazy nonprofit make a browser?

What are your qualms with Brave Browser?

Firefox on ChromeOS sucks though. Just went through this, tried Canary, etc. Went back to Chrome.

Just ChromeOS? Firefox on Mac sucks. Here is one example: Firefox's tracking of the mouse cursor is broken, and often (yes, it's inconsistent) applies a vector translation so when trying to click something like a button or menu, the cursor needs to be about 100 x-y pixels away from the target. Only Firefox native UI is affected. These are My_First_Program.app tier bugs that should not exist in mature, 20 year old sof…

Can you provide a link to a bug report? I've been using FF on macOS for years and haven't noticed that. Maybe it's just a bug on a random site?

What's so horrible about it? I don't like how they're pampering to the ad industry now but other than that I think they're pretty decent.

If I donate to your project I hope the money goes towards your project. If you spend it on beer or buy Jacuzzi I'm happy too. If you chose to spend it on other projects ill be excited to learn what they are. https://future.mozilla.org/projects/ Do you use any of that? Is there anything there I should be using? (honest question) It seems premature to donate to things I don't know. > Solo helps entrepreneurs expand the…

Clicked the future projects link. Thought the DidThis project sounded interesting. Aaaannnddd it's already a dead project as of 2 months ago.

It’s so weird to observe how Alphabet doesn’t seem to even try to keep its parts separated. Amazon at least tries keeps its companies separated from each other. AWS account teams doesn’t know what Amazon teams do and vice versa. While Google Cloud account team constantly gets involved with Workspaces, Ads and Google Play related stuff. If I remember right just few years ago Google was told to stop giving cheaper pric…

> While Google Cloud account team constantly gets involved with Workspaces, Ads and Google Play related stuff. Not sure what you mean. Do you have a couple of concrete examples of that? > If I remember right just few years ago Google was told to stop giving cheaper prices on Google Cloud based on customers Ads and Google Play revenue.

I see offers (or “ads”) for Google Ads inside of the Google Cloud Platform Dashboard all the time.

The removal can be bypassed until June 2025: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1d49ud1/manif...

Bypass Chrome altogether. Use Firefox.

How can I swap ^W and ^D in Firefox? For Chrome I found an extension that works (…worked?) fine, the only thing for Firefox I found would be compiling it myself, which I find a much worse experience than compiling Chromium myself (neither of which I like doing)

> Can’t a non-crazy nonprofit make a browser? Here’s to hoping LadyBird remains non crazy and can be relevant by the time of their planned alpha release in 2026.

To be honest it needs a different name if it’s going to hit critical mass adoption with the average consumer.
