Switched from #Librewolf to #Waterfox . Too many rough edges with Librewolf, the latest being screen tearing when watching videos - a problem I hadn't encountered on any of my machines in a long time, and absent from Firefox and Waterfox. I've hardened up some of the privacy and security settings (which I always did with Firefox too). Getting a similar score on EFF's Cover Your Tracks compared to Librewolf.

Had a colleague complain to me *again* about how shitty #wayland is as they cannot share their screen with #Zoom.

Look. I can share my screen with #Firefox (#librewolf), #chrome (#helium), #Teams, #discord, #bbb and #obs just fine. (Didn't bother testing any more apps...)

I'd be hard-pressed to think that the problem is NOT in the layer you think it is.

More monkeying around with OpenBSD. I spent a bunch of time getting LXQt working but the themeing was taking too much time so I threw more ram at the VM and installed KDE. The goal was to learn about OpenBSD, not LXQT. Ha.

Lots of the standard apps are there in OpenBSD but I need to find out how to get Librewolf and Waterfox going. Having done zero research, I'm assuming I need to compile from source.

I saw an article out using "Molly" as an alternate Signal Messenger client (xn--gckvb8fzb.com/if-you-must-use-signal-use-molly/). May try it in the future.

The KDE Plasma version is 6.4.5. IIRC KDE is stopping X11 support so I will need to figure out something else I guess. I've seen threads about Wayland on OpenBSD but didn't go down the rabbit hole yet. What little I read implied not ready for prime time.

The VM feels pretty snappy even though the QEMU agent doesn't really help with video options. This is using the VGA driver setup to get a decent resolution.

I really need to get this Jeep back on the road. I miss it.

Hey #Librewolf users, haven’t I read that the configuration stuff should now be stored in ~/.config/librewolf? It seems the AppImage I use (with firejail) still uses ~/.librewolf.

Starting my adventure with #LibreWolf today.

I always forget how many little customizations I have tucked away in various nooks & crannies of my configurations. I think I've got ~95% of my quirks migrated over.

Thank heavens for userChrome.css & browser.compactmode.show (still can't stand floating/bloated tabs).

#LibreWolf v149.0-1 is now available!

https://codeberg.org/librewolf/bsys6/releases/tag/149.0-1

https://librewolf.net/installation/

Notable changes:
- LibreWolf now checks for and deletes manually installed language packs, because they interfere with the permissions panel. If you try to add a language pack, it will prevent the installation. LibreWolf already ships with all officially supported languages included.

See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/149.0/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.

A wolf outside my office this morning. Posted from #librewolf.
So #LibreWolf added a feature where instead of blanket banning/allowing WebGL, it should now prompt the user per site to allow it. I say should, as I am not seeing any prompts despite the console log suggesting that it is prompting the user, so I remain unable to make use of WebGL. Running version 148.0.2-3 on #NixOS, if anyone else is facing the same trouble or has solved the issue. The most relevant site to get working for me would be https://hexfriend.net for play-by-post tabletop gaming purposes, as I feel icky with my workaround of nix-shell -p chromium --run chromium.

After 24 years (my whole computer life really), I think it's time to switch from #Mozilla #Firefox to something more privacy-friendly πŸ₯² #LibreWolf seems like a good alternative!
