JeffI'm watching the #Manjaro #Linux #Manifest2.0 with interest and a bit of concern.
I'm strongly considering #Solus as a backup distro if things go sideways.
Also strongly disappointed and concerned to see #Copilot commits in the #ZenBrowser code.
Cristian Rasch 🇦🇷 🇺🇾@cynical13 I use the same setup on both desktop and mobile, except that my main daily driver is #librewolf instead of #zenbrowser as there are currently no Zen features that I need for my workflow as a #WebDev.
The best feature of both browser for me these days is their #NOAI policies.

I keep #Vivaldi as my #2 browser, for when #ZenBrowser is lagging a bit in updates. And there are the occasional sites that don't work well on a #Gecko browser.
Vivaldi does have a ton of built-in features that are great. I love the notes that sync across my account and the speed dial keeps important links visible and accessible. Sites load quickly, it can be snappy. I have it on #Android, along with #Waterfox as my two mobile browsers.
But Vivaldi's interface also feels more dated to me. It's less attractive and less slick. The screen capture tool is good, but could be better. The mail and RSS reader is serviceable, but doesn't handle some of my accounts very well and isn't as robust as a dedicated program like #Thunderbird.

I really love using #ZenBrowser as my daily #WebBrowser. I generally prefer the #Gecko engine over #Chromium. I love the way it will let you select specific web elements when you take a snapshot and the built-in PDF reader is much more powerful than the default Chromium one. I find the text easier to read and the visuals are crisper. The design is more modern and there are little effects that are quite attractive.
There are a few things I wish it did better. I've gotten spoiled by #Vivaldi browser's copying an address from the address bar but strips out tracking parameters (the "?" and everything to the right in the address bar). It also can lag behind releases of #Firefox, which can make it more vulnerable.

Patrice Grundmann@dot Les groupes d’onglets sont plus puissants que les dossiers de #zenbrowser
En plus, ils sont de couleurs, ce qui permet de mieux les retrouver visuellement. Je me fais vieux, je dois pouvoir retrouver mes marques rapidement. Ma mère l’utilise aussi, et elle en est très contente aussi. Donc validé par « les seniors » ;)
Mon flux de travail est plus efficace, je trouve, sans espaces de travail. Je vais arrêter de lancer x navigateurs à la fois, car aujourd’hui j‘ai eu du mal à m’y retrouver.
Du coup : Firefox ONLY.
Le seul navigateur épinglé et dont je vais me servir. Bien sûr, je surveille encore les autres, mais juste à des fins de curiosité.
(comme sous #zenbrowser en fait)
NormI have pinned tabs in @zenbrowser and sometimes I accidentally press the favicon which resets the tab back to it's pinned URL.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour?
BørgeDoes anyone have experience using Save Desktop and knows if it lets you keep all your tabs, extensions and settings from @zenbrowser?
If not: What's the best way to make sure I keep all my tabs etc when I do a clean install of an OS?

(In case you're wondering, no I'm not gonna comply with the California bill or any other moronic age verification bill and start requesting age bracket from the OS. Not sure if it legally applies to me, I only distribute the app on Codeberg, plus the Flatpak via Disroot's file sender because it exceeds Codeberg's file limit, but I just put it out there, in case this would apply to FOSS projects distributed solely on code collaboration platforms. What can they do with me? I'm anonym, they don't know my real-world identity, and even if they hire hackers, and de-anonymize me, what do they do with me? Fine me? Not gonna pay. Arrest me then? I'm in Europe. But I guess they don't even know about the existence of the app, so why should I even bother?)
