Comment Firefox is the best browser! (Score 1) 240

I won't consider another browser until I can have the bookmarks toolbar next to the address field instead of under it, and have separators in the bookmark lists. Firefox compact mode (has to be enabled with "browser.compactmode.show" in about:config) with the bookmark folders between the address field and the extension icons is perfect, takes very little vertical screen space away from the web content.

That I can have browser-specific proxy settings instead of being forced to using system wide proxy is also a killer feature for me, because it allows me to transparently access my home NAS stuff from Firefox (and Firefox only) via an ssh tunnel on my work laptop (my work browser is Chrome).

Comment What are the alternatives? (Score 1) 147

Is there an alternative that is still as good as pre-2020 Google, or at least better than 2024 Google? I tried many alternatives around 2020 but didn't like the UI or search results of any of them compared to Google, but now I don't like Google Search anymore either so I may reconsider. I just want straight-to-the-point search results without having it trying to outsmart me and flood me with things I didn't search for. What I search for is what I want, nothing else.

Comment Unbreak Firefox on Facebook and Instagram! (Score 1) 33

The next thing on their TODO list should be to become compatible with Facebook and Instagram again, after giving a broken experience there (scrolling jumping around like crazy) for nearly two years. Yes, I understand that the problem is that Meta has badly written JavaScript code that is broken on Firefox. No, that doesn't matter for end users. I really want to recommend people to use Firefox, but sorry, I can't because of this.

Don't worry, you will have it your way. The EU will from now on never again rely on the US for manufacturing of anything important and more and more vaccines and medicines will be produced on EU soil going forward. That's the most positive thing for the people of EU in this whole mess, that manufacturing will be brought home. Can't rely on countries that stop acting like allies as soon as some shit hit the fan.
