@stavvers I had a chance to test file.pizza between two #GrapheneOS devices on my home network with predictably disappointing results.
#VanadiumBrowser didn't work for either sharing or downloading:
* security hardened #ChromiumBrowser.
#DuckDuckGoBrowser works for sharing only.
#IceRaven works for sharing and downloading:
* fork of #Firefox
That transferring files worked at all, with any combination of browsers was a surprise. 😯
@lloydjatkinson it's interesting that the article in the discussion has a popup with:

I often get the opposite complaint because #DuckDuckGoBrowser blocks trackers and some advertisers can't figure out how to _just_ display an advertisement.
Weird #GrapheneOS tip: sharing a link from #Vanadium to #Tusky provides both the title and the link, whereas sharing to the clipboard or most other apps only provides the link. It also works with #IceRaven, and possibly other Firefox derivatives, but NOT #DuckDuckGoBrowser. 🤬
My guess is this also works with #Android and #Chrome.
This is why I occasionally post random bookmark links, because I'm already in Tusky. May as well post. Hence https://indieweb.social/@mcrocker/112462176907098316
The rEFInd Boot Manager https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ May be a possible work-around until I can get #NixOS dual boot to work with my LUKS encrypted Pop!_OS drive. #bookmark #UEFI
The #duckduckgo browser is perfect in almost every way, but I hate its name.
Trying to use internet search to find out anything about how to configure #duckduckgobrowser (e.g. if there is something like an about:config tab) only yields an endless list of results for duckduckgo search.
if you give a product a name that has already been used for something else online for years, you make it invisible.
DuckDuckGo Browser adds private password & bookmark sync (no account required)
The key thing that sets DuckDuckGo’s search engine and web browser apart from most others is that DuckDuckGo is focused on user privacy: the company promises not to track your behavior. But that makes it tricky to offer some of the features user expect: like the ability to keep your passwords and bookmarks synchronized across multiple devices – like PCs, […]
Though I an using the #IceRaven browser, the article has gotten me thinking of looking at the #MullBrowser a little closer.
I have been using #DuckDuckGoBrowser for search and quick article reads, #Vanadium for anything I want to log into or keep session cookies, and IceRaven for longer reads or #ReadAloud.
2/2
Tip of the day: set your #browser to open links #incognito by default. I have friends sending #facebook #instagram #youtube links to share funny stuff they find online. I typically used #duckduckgobrowser as my default on my phone. However, #firefox displays stuff much better, particularly sites like #lemmy . So I set my firefox settings to open #private by default.
Next: my #linux machine. Easy.
New desktop entry: incognito.desktop in /usr/share/applications -> default browser.
