I am also on Ironfox and also hate the new UI.

My community !windowmanagers@lemmy.zip just reached 300 subscribers. Pretty happy about it although not sure if it will grow any larger.

I know you mean this as a joke but does that not make sense with US history?

A lot of killing causes people to own guns, a lot of guns causes a lot of killings, and repeat.

The worst part it’s not that LLM’s do it, its that humans do it. I don’t mind the occasional use of it on things that would benefit from a quick scan (like a website nav bar) but too many people go overboard and sugar coat their text with icons and corpo mumbo jumbo.

Totally feel your sentiment man.

I don’t think there are studies showing direct comparisons(that I know of), but it is clear that commercial social media stands to profit from you the more you use the platform and open-source platforms usually stand to lose money from hosting the service. That incentive alone is big enough to demonstrate how more harmful they are.

Replacing real social interactions with virtual ones is harmul regardless of the platform, so at least open source ones don’t profit from addictions and mental health issues(like casinos). Not to mention that commercial options make it hard for you to leave the platform, and not in a “lets make a maze so the user takes longer to get out” but in a “lets stand in the door for days blocking the users exit”.

Also important to note that it is possible to make a commercial social media platform without such aggresive strategies (at cost of their profit), and a open social media platform with aggresive strategies. It just happens that proprietary software can lend its hand to abuse which is not posible in open source. So in practice none of these happen.

So in general I would say that open source social media is completely free of intentional harm and commercial ones will not bother if their platform is harming people as long as it makes profits.

I use Librewolf almost always I try others just for comparison an fun, here are they:

• Librewolf: I use it for its privacy defaults and because it comes with no bloat and no nonsense.

• Konform Browser: A fork of Librewolf but based on Firefox ESR rather than the regular release and focusing in smaller settings improvements. I’ve talked to the developer and they are very nice and seem to fix issues rather quickly. By the looks of it I will be moving to this browser permantly.

• Ungoogled Chromium: For testing webpages, like styles and stuff for my blog.

• Glide Browser: Its basically the Vimium extension + BetterFox. It’s stil in early developement and it looks promising. I prefer Librewolf settings better than Betterfox so this keeps me from using this one.

These are my favourites random ones:

• Information Is Beautiful
• Lex Knows Systems
• The Oatmeal(Exploding Kittens createor)
• Keyboards

please touch me

damn, that was witty.

I know people that used to hand them out but no one really uses them anymore.

Good idea, I have the following in my preferences that I took from Dedoimedo:

defaultPref("widget.non-native-theme.enabled", true);
defaultPref("widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override", 20);

And the option “Always show scrollbars” enabled because I have not found the preference to do it through the configuration file.

I also shared it on mastodon and an ex Firefox subreddit moderator shared with me their enterprise policies for Firefox which included those options. Its fair to say that these are objectively good options.

The changes that you proposed in the scrollbar branch seems good to me, specially the disabling of the overlay of the bar.

Cheers!

I just installed it from the AUR after importing the keys manually(before it did not work). Everything works as expected on first impression. I will port my configuration (like enlarging those skinny ass scrollbars) and will give you my feedback about it.

I tried to install both konform-browser and konform-browser-bin in Arch with yay and it failed to import gpg keys:

gpg: error reading key: No public key


 :: PGP keys need importing:
 -> 9511FD9BD64CCF171F0B28A72B6FD58B41A0E262, required by: konform-browser-bin
:: Import? [Y/n] y
:: Importing keys with gpg...
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
 -> problem importing keys

I would build from source but I really have an underpowered laptop. Anyway, when this gets fixed I will be sure to give some feedback.

:)

Thanks, I will remove the preferences in my configuration that Konform enables by default. By reading the differences between the both browsers I can already tell it has saner defaults than Librewolf.

Super, does it have an overrides configuration file like Librewolf does?

The is a launcher list, its has not been updated in a while but it shows some nice options.

Dex-UI and Edex-UI?

Search for “navigation indicator” in settings, there should be a button to hide it.

I don’t care personally, only that saying(text) “child porn” might be against one of lemmy.world’s TOS. Plus I was asking nicely.

I found it funny and all, but should not this be marked nsfw?
