💥🖱️ Ah, the eternal quest to make Firefox's right-click menu not resemble a dystopian spreadsheet. Somehow, in the galaxy-brain epic of tweaking about:config, 24 rows of chaos were conjured, and two of them are like your ex—grayed out and unhelpful. 🤯✨ Bravo, Joshua, you've single-handedly turned a menu into a game of Minesweeper.

Making Firefox’s right-click not suck with about:config

As browser wars heat up, Chrome adds new productivity features

As AI companies and startups push their way into the web browser market, the world’s biggest browser, Google Chrome, is rolling out a handful of new features. The company on Thursday announced the official launch of a trio of options, including Split View, PDF annotations, and a “Save to Google Drive” feature, designed to more deeply integrate Chrome with one of Google’s other online services.

Chrome's throwing down the gauntlet in the browser wars with new productivity features! Split View, PDF annotations, and 'Save to Chrome' are on the way.

Are these enough to keep you from switching tabs, or is your browser loyalty unwavering?

Ok, I'm on Gamer+ using Vivaldi. If firefox had dedicated to no AI Slop I might still be using it. Instead I'm using Libre Wolf and checking out Vivaldi.

Whoa double quote post. Anyway, here’s my experience so far:

  • Waterfox does not support the KeepassXC browser extension integration with the local database. At least not one click connect.
  • Waterfox supports the new Firefox profiles that Firefox-esr and Librewolf do not have yet
  • Waterfox looks more “unique”, Librewolf looks identical to Firefox-esr
  • Waterfox is a flatpak, Librewolf is a 3rd party repo
  • To get Orion on Linux I have to pay? Come on man.

Ну #Vivaldi, ну ёпта!.. Сделать кнопочку «Переопределить» на хватило фантазии? (Тут не нужна фантазия, можно просто подсмотреть у других.) Т.е. надо сначала найти и удалить текущее назначение, а потом добавлять нужное заново. Очень удобно.

P.S. Вдобавок ко всему, на некоторых сайтах не работает (имеется в виду прокрутка в начало/конец страницы, на скрине просто другое действие)...
