#312Fuck. Just when I got used to Chromium due its nice profiles feature. Sigh. Back to Firefox then. Or perhaps I should just stop using the web for anything except the necessities. Now that I think about it, that would probably make my life better in more than one way.
Firefox containers are way better than profiles.

Right so must exactly clone a very very large code base, for free, with no attempt to monetize (must compete with one of the worlds largest corporations with zero inbound resources whatsoever). Must also not attempt to add any features that users want, which may also help generate revenue. How do you expect anyone to take on Google, if when they make a single penny, they're called scammers? Don't let blind hatred of…
I welcome you to disclose any holding in cryptocurrencies you have in interest of transparency about your financial incentives
What a perverse implication. I suppose its a great theory for you tho - anyone who uses the currency is automatically part of the scam, thus there are no honest defenders, thus it is a scam! Q.E.D.!
I own about 50 dollars of BAT, the currency that Brave uses, which I added to my wallet purely as a way of supporting Brave. I would happily -give you that 50 dollars- as a lesson about how none that changes ones opinions.

The last time I tried the Multi Account Containers add-on, it randomly wiped my list of websites after browser restarts and upgrades and there was no way to export the list of websites I had containerized. IIRC, there still isn't a way to do it unless I use Firefox Sync, which I don't. The addon was also basically abandoned for quite some time with lots of bugs all over the place and was revived only recently. It was…
That's a shame you've had a bad experience. I've covered many people over to it with most using it extensively with no major issues. I wonder if your issue had been resolved?
> I wonder if your issue had been resolved?
Maybe. However, I have no reason to switch to the Multi Account Containers addon now considering the Containerise addon works well.

#316This is why I switched back to Firefox three years ago. The writing was on the wall for ad blockers in Chrome. I want one that works. I want control over my web experience.

If all you want to do is separation of data on same site. I think the container is the better way to go. Although the profile still serves different purpose from container (like you can have different Firefox account linked/ different extension installed)
I actually want the kind of UI chromium provides, where I can see from the background color directly in which "mode" I'm in. This makes it easier to separate work from non-work.
That's exactly what Firefox containers do. I have a different color for each one.

#318Just boycott Chrome, as a user and as a developer. And boycott any other Chromium-based browser altogether.
The only reason why a mediocre ads company like Google is managing to mess up the web is that it has >90% of the browser's market share, if you include all Chromium-based browsers.
If they can periodically break the basic functionalities of web extensions however they like (HTTP calls within extensions, background scripts, ability to manipulate the DOM...) just to ensure that people won't manage to block ads and trackers, and they still get developers to build stuff for their browser and they don't lose a single user, they can really get away with EVERYTHING.
Time to let them know that they can't really get away with everything. Google has been an evil company beyond redemption and with a net negative added value to the industry for too long and now it deserves to go down. MV3 should be the reason why developers should stop building extensions for Chrome, users should stop using Chrome, and other browsers should move to other web engines than Chromium.
If nobody follows Google in their efforts to push for MV3, then we'll be left with a limited browser with limited functionalities and nearly no extensions. Let Google sink in their own sh*t.

#319For Microsoft to really rain on Google’s parade here, don’t all they have to do is allow V2 compliant extensions into their extension store? If so that would be a grand opportunity.

Do you use only full screen browser windows? I got the feeling that TST doesn't play nice with narrower windows as it requires a lot of horizontal space. I've got 10 browser windows on 5 different desktops now (8 Firefox, 1 Vivaldi, 1 Chrome). Only 3 of them are full screen, one per browser. The window I'm currently typing it is wide about 2/3 of the screen and it's probably twice as wide as it should be to read HN (…
I've gotten used to the full screen (or width) windows. Mostly it's because of certain work web UIs that need as much width as possible. I agree with your statement that wide text is difficult to read. In Emacs I use Olivetti mode to narrow my text windows, I should probably do something similar for hackernews or other sites that would benefit from narrower windows. In Firefox, there's reader mode too, which makes th…
Thanks for the hint to Olivetti mode. I usually either split the frame horizontally (C-x 3) to look at multiple buffers side to side or narrow the window. Long lines are bad for programming too.
