  • You need to stop using Brave

    Jump

  • If Firefox used a more modern Material UI and fixed some of the gestures (the expanding website menu makes no sense, it doesn't follow your finger) it would be much more appealing. As it stands now chromium based browsers naturally use standard material components and feel a lot nicer to use on my phone.

    When I scroll in Firefox, there's quite a lot of stutter and it struggles to maintain 120 fps.

    If any 1 of these 2 issues were fixed I'd switch to Firefox in a heartbeat, ublock origin is great

  • I already use librewolf on desktop which is a great experience. But Firefox on mobile is just so horribly laggy and has a dated UI, the only offering it has is ublock origin and reader mode. Brave is the only real mobile browser choice I have since it has pretty good tracker blocking and I can disable nearly all of the problems you've mentioned here.

  • This does sound like it was written by an off the shelf LLM. You can't just rely on em dashes anymore, most LLMs don't spam those anymore.

    When you tell a modern LLM to write a post like this, it'll use a very LinkedIn-esque tone. It'll spam short, active sentences, often preceded by a colon:

    Document your setup. Write guides. Make it easier for the next person. Run services for friends and family, not just yourself. Contribute to projects that build this infrastructure. Support municipal and community network alternatives.

    "Not this, but that" and the "rule of 3" are getting less useful as tells, but they are absolutely littered everywhere in this post.

    When you run Nextcloud, you're not just protecting your files from Google - you're creating a node in a network they can't access.

    I quote this formatting as a joke for obvious LLM writing. I've never seen human writing with more than 3 of these in a single post.

    My guess is that this was written by Claude since it stays rather personally neutral if you don't guide it that way.

    I made Claude generate a post like this and it's a very similar tone.

  • you should be using security extensions

    Do you really think extensions are sufficient to manage proper process isolation in the browser engine itself?

    JavaScript has not run on my web browser since Bush Jr was in office

    Are we serious? You can't claim that security is irrelevant for everyone because you cripple your web browser to be functionally equivalent to curl https://website.com/.

    made by weirdos who get hysterical if you start asking questions about the difference between admin permissions...

    There's little difference. I'm pretty sure they'd agree the traditional desktop security model (especially Linux) is extremely weak.

  • GrapheneOS cites security issues with Firefox.

    Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn't have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox's sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole. The sandbox has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn't happening for their Android browser yet.

    In terms of performance, it's well known that Blink is faster and it can be tested by just trying both. Firefox stutters and lags while Chromium maintains a smooth framerate.

    I disagree with compatibility however. Chromium's wayland support is iffy and it barely integrates with XDG or VAAPI

  • Apple will let iPhone users in Brazil get apps and services outside of the App Store

    Jump

  • Man i feel like if Apple opened up their systems, it would barely affect revenue, and would make android much less appealing. proper sideloading and full control over the OS would genuinely remove a lot of barriers for hardcore android users to move to ios.

  • Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux

  • According to top results for a few searches,

    ChatGPT has 700 million weekly active users, as of September 2025.

    Gemini has 350 million monthly active users, as of April 2025.

    ChatGPT is the number 1 app on the Google Play top downloaded apps currently.

    Some numbers may be slightly inflated for a number of reasons, but another source is speaking to people IRL. I often overhear conversations mentioning ChatGPT or AI in general.

    "AI bros" are definitely cancerous but a lot of average consumers do in fact use AI frequently

  • What's weird is that given certain odd scenarios (I can't recall it but there was a video by Enderman about it) you'll see the old windows 10 taskbar appear, exact styling and all. So the windows 11 taskbar is quite literally just a WebView plastered on top.
