nix-shell -p chromium --run chromium.I wanted to test the #browser extension #AdNauseam and was even prepared to temporarily disable #uBlock and #uMatrix for it. However, I couldn't comply with the warning to disable the browser's own #tracking because #Librewolf doesn't offer that option. So, that was the end of that extension. (btw: it's hard to imagine Google would approve of this add-on.)
But if anyone's curious…
Ich wollte die #Browser Erweiterung #AdNauseam testen und war dafür sogar bereit, kurzzeitig #uBlock und #uMatrix zu deaktivieren. Die Warnung, ich solle das Browser eigene #Tracking ausschalten, konnte ich jedoch nicht erfüllen, weil das bei #Librewolf nicht vorgesehen ist. Somit war die Erweiterung auch schon Geschichte. (btw: schwer vorstellbar, dass Google mit dem Addon einverstanden ist)
Falls aber jemand neugierig ist…

Mozilla is shitting the bed and pretending it's a gourmet dinner.
All they had to do was build a decent web browser, and they failed.
In the long term, we have the @servo project to look forward to: an independent browser engine spun off from Mozilla Research, and currently stewarded by the Linux Foundation Europe.
It's not usable as a day-to-day browser yet, but it hopefully will be a worthy alternative to Chromium and Gecko in the future (2026 roadmap, please? 🥺)
In the meantime, we have Mullvad Browser, @Waterfox, and @librewolf to keep us company ❤️

it's like, it's like, what if there was a D&D campaign where the players just sat there slack jawed while the DM had all the NPCs talking to each other in corp speak, every session
yeah, like that. reading this I am wondering if I shouldn't just ditch #librewolf too and use #vivaldi all the time
