A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

What is the best Firefox alternative?

[–] HellieSkellie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

LibreWolf

If you don't care about the extra security and privacy stuff that it adds and just want an unfucked firefox fork you can follow this reddit comment:

/u/aaaaaaaaabbaaaaaaaaa

Go on about:config. Type "privacy.clearonshutdown". Many options will show up. Make sure those between "privacy.clearonshutdown.cache" to "privacy.clearonshutdown.sitesettings" (including the two) are set to FALSE.

Then type webgl.disabled and set it to FALSE.

Go on Settings:

On General->Startup, Enable Open previous windows and tabs

On Privacy & Security->Cookies and Site Data, uncheck "Delete cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed"

On Privacy & Security->History, check the three options there.

On LibreWolf, disable "Limit cross-origin referrers", "Enable ResistFingerprinting", "Enable letterboxing", "Silently block canvas access requests", and "Enforce OCSP hard-fail".

Also on LibreWolf, enable webgl.

Why LibreWolf and not waterfox? I'm genuinely asking, at the moment I migrated from FF to WF, but wasn't quite sure. What I read was that LW was restricted to the point where some extensions or sites broke, but I'm not sure if that's right or not

LibreWolf is more heavy-fisted with its security and privacy setup. It does break some sites, though that reddit comment I pasted helps mitigate that problem a bit.

I don't use WaterFox but from what I understand it's a decent alternative that doesn't send it full-throttle on removing telemetry, tracking, ads, cookies, etc. which makes it less safe but way more usable.

Earthfox is great but only regionally effective. There are no privacy issues in Ba Sing Se.

Windfox became unviable when the Firefox Nation attacked.

Exactly, when firefox attacks you have to start with the browser of Water, earthfox comes after.

Waterfox — fork

Airfox — add-on

Earthfox — theme

Which one is September, then?

Need a wake up call at the end?

[–] XLE@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I thought ~~most~~ all of this stuff could easily be re-enabled through the Settings screens themselves (including a LibreWolf-exclusive page that lets you unbreak the canvas sizing), including the first section of your recommendations!

This is good to know, though.

yeah, all of these are options in the settings screen.

I'm using Waterfox (based on Firefox but without the bloat), both desktop and mobile versions. Have nothing but good things to say about it.

A good middle ground between usability and privacy is also Zen Browser.
