  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I wasted twenty minutes of my life learning enough tumblr to understand the second note. tumblr is a strange and fascinating country, like Listenbourg.

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poob

    From Proto-Hmong *pʉŋᴬ (β€œto fall”), probably borrowed from Middle Chinese ε΄© (MC pong, β€œto collapse, crumble”).[1]

    1. to lose, fail
      Nws poob nyiaj rau kev twv txiaj. ― He loses money to gambling.
      Nws poob hoob. ― He fails a class

    Darn that Proto-Hmong crowd and their modern, trendy words.

    How do you pronounce "twv"?

    In his newest (and worst) How Do You Do Fellow Kids moment, Mark Zuckerberg launches the Poob service, accessible exclusively through the Metaverse. What does it do? Fucked if we know.

    google ultron is the most privacy-preserving browser

    [–] potoo22@programming.dev 21 points 11 months ago

    If an internet person says it and I want it, it has to be true.

    [–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 36 points 11 months ago (4 children)

    I genuinely use Floorp as my main daily browser lol

    [–] jimmux@programming.dev 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Same, after I tried all the other Fireforks. It was last on the list because of the non-serious name and logo, but damnit it's the most stable and has sensible defaults that don't get in my way.

    [–] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 11 months ago

    until the last update at least, which moved half of the settings into the "Floorp Hub", removed the other half, and broke gesture extensions and my userchrome >:( thinking of just going back to librewolf and staying with it forever

    [–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Same. I didn't realise there was anything wrong with it tbh

    [–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

    same, actually I use FireDragon... what's wrong with it?

    But have you tried Plingo?

    I really wanted to like floorp but scrolling on a touchpad is awful on it for some reason. It's the only fork i have issues with the scrolling on a touchpad.

    [–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

    Oh weird, I use it with a touchpad on my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad if that makes any difference) and it's always been fine for me.

    [–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (27 children)

    I really like librewolf. Does need some getting used to and actually learn to manage profiles (which it sadly remove the new profile browser for some reason?), but pretty great and "just works"

    [–] svc@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

    OP actually uses librewolf but is looking for a more beautiful(?) browser

    I make Librewolf beautiful using the FF-Ultima theme

    I use Librewolf with a slightly edited Cascade CSS theme, plus the Catppuccin color palette. Works great and looks nice.

    [–] girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

    I like that theme but as i understand it, having a custom css theme may reduce your anonymity while browsing, if you're concerned about that.

    [–] cactus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

    Cascade looks awesome, thanks for sharing! gotta check it out when I get home

    [–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 19 points 11 months ago

    Just answer honestly,
    While floorp has a more flowy and relaxed security model that still allows interaction with local files and is just overall easier to get into, I also like Zen for it's peace of mind, with the ability to suspend execution of javascript on page load turned on as a default feature, however it can be quite uptight a what does and doesn't constitute valid html

    [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I'm playing with Floorp now. It works fine but I HATE the name.

    Slurp

    [–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

    but from the floor, yummy

    [–] tal@lemmy.today 10 points 11 months ago

    That's "Floorp", not to be confused with "Florp", which I see on Weebly:

    Florp Studios

    [–] nul9o9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

    I mostly like zen. But I dont like that pressing on the new tab button brings up a floating search menu instead of taking me to my homepage.

    Edit: thanks for pointing me to about config peeps.

    [–] keNNy@feddit.org 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

    You can switch to the legacy new tab behavior via about:config, see https://docs.zen-browser.app/user-manual/urlbar#enable-legacy-new-tab-mechanism

    [–] _hovi_@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    I actually thought that was interesting. What I really didn't like is not being able to just set a theme, and when I finally got to the color picker thing it just wouldn't let me set proper full black (oled). Once themes are easier and it has tree style tabs (like sideberry - not those folders) I would consider switching again.

    theres an about:config setting thats something like replace.newtab and if you set it to false it brings back new tabs. you can also set the urlbar behavior to normal and it will stop floating

    [–] dabster291@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

    IIRC there's an option to restore regular new tabs in the settings
