If anything, I only use ungoogled chromium if a website refuses to work in Firefox. Had a financial fraud and identity theft scam the other day hosted on a Singaporean form service thing that I had to report using that browser because the send report button wasn’t working on FF.
As much as I don’t like it, it’s probably a good idea to have a backup chromium based browser like ungoogled chromium just in case. Just be sure to not be like me and actually have it in some sort of sandbox rather than running the flatpak on its own.
Missed opportunity to say “installing NVIDIA drivers” instead 🤣
“Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?”
“Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?”
“Are you sure?”
FUCK OFF, I’M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY’S WEBSITE DOESN’T WORK WITH FIREFOX
flatpak install ungoogled-chromiumor appimage, arch or deb
I cannot wait for Firefox to finally support WebUSB.
^(I literally cannot wait, it’ll never happen…)
It sure would be nice to have WebSerial as well. For some reason Mozilla seems to think users can’t be trusted with it. They could at least add a compile time option to enable it. If someone knows how to compile a browser, they are probably smart enough not to give random websites access to their devices.
Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.
Had to do that to do my fucking MATH HOMEWORK because Pearson “doesn’t work with Linux”. Switched my user agent to windows and all of a sudden it works just fine
I wish Microsoft and Google homies would just get beamed into a parallel universe to ruin with their bullshit…
Thanks! I’ll have to give that a try.
You are welcome. Worked fine last time I tried it with e.g. the Teams web client (forced to use it for work still)
Report the error to the company and to Mozilla.
That’s basically never an error, but malice. But I admire your naivity :)
Oh, I agree with you. But the more we publicize this, the more pressure we can apply to site devs to support multiple browsers.
These companies typically have management take the IT advice from their IT managers, and if those intentionally block non Windows/Google/fascist software, you don’t find anyone in the organization willing to listen to you. The only way to fight this is by not doing business with them whenever avoidable.
That’s why its called “Bloatware”
A windows user downloading a random executable and unchecking all of the boxes that install malware (it is easier than pressing the “Install” button in an app store):
A Linux user running random commands to add a new repo that points to malware (their package manager does not have the program they want by default)
Note: I just did this to install Librewolf, Mullvad, and VS Codium
Windows users removing spyware and telemetry while bragging about not having to touch a terminal.
I switched my main to linux about a year ago and install everything through terminal at this point.
I had to download something on a windows system once recently and i was not prepared with how backwards this entire process felt.
I cant understand how i had stuck with such bullshit for so long.
These days if I can’t install it with winget I’m not installing it
Scoop/Chocolatey/WinGet. In that order.
Shoveling in RAM like coal into a furnace
Ah, the much rumored red-color computer terminal screen.
I wrote my own browser using WebKit. Chrome is bloat.
Did you publish it? What’s it called?
I mined and smelted my own silicon. Fuckin’ amateur hour out here.
Used to work on WebKit, built my own browser for a while, but damn if they kept breaking qt/WebKit all the damn time.
Ah, I am using WebKitGTK.
Currently version 4.1, though, as 6.0 is not supported on GTK3, and upgrading the project to GTK4 would possibly require a complete rewrite.
Is it a “traditional” web browser or yet another Gnome header bar app?
I miss Galeon …
That’s a great username
Where is this from and how can I watch it?
Flight of the NetScape Navigator
Oh I can see the animated N now
Based on the nonsensical chest computer/armour and other garbled elements of the image I’m going to assume it’s AI-generated.
I mean, have you ever looked at Start Trek costumes closely? Shit’s wild…
Also it’s quite grainy and the handle-thingy in the front (bottom right) is out of focus. Not sure AI can be this imperfect yet, though it’s just a matter of time.
Look at the red buttons by the guy’s right hand. They look like a bunch of skittles of different sizes. It is definitely AI
Because it’s cheap greebling. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GbK_98uXAAAaD0I.jpg
Even cheaply you can still easily find something to make buttons that are of a consistent size and shape. And not put one of them on top of the edge panel of the console like one of them is on the picture. This is a typical telltale sign of AI: things that aren’t uniform when they should be and are located in nonsensical places.
There is also asymmetry and sewing lines that make no sense between the left and right gloves and what looks like is supposed to be a pair of pens on his upper right arm is just two nonsensical blobs of crome texture.
No one seems to know about what movie or show this is supposed to be from either…
Looks more like a late 80s movie to me. I assure you, we did not need AI to generate our nonsense for us.
How would one see anything with that dark of a visor and such low light
I remember this being generated by OpenAI’s Sora model.
I’ve been playing too much cyberpunk lately…
Alt-D, “chr”, Enter
Who am I kidding, I use Firefox.
Having to apply a new update every week
