The only major non-profit backed, people-first browser ️‍🔥

My nephews' PC (Dell Optiplex 790) was broken, as it turned out, the SSD had failed! So I replaced it with an old HDD (because that’s what I had on hand) and installed Debian directly via QEMU on the drive, since the PC was already open and I didn’t feel like using USB boot.

System: Debian (stable) + XFCE (nicely set up)
Programs: Learning software for elementary school and lower secondary school plus a few games
Browser: Firefox hardened with policies.json, all settings and addon installation blocked, only the addons I installed (uBlock, Ecosia, etc.) are allowed
Control: Screen time managed via Timekpr-next
Security: Instagram, Facebook, etc. and especially TikTok blocked via hosts; adult sites filtered via OpenDNS FamilyShield

Modern #browsers have offered native side-by-side tab viewing for a while now.

 #Microsoft #Edge features built-in split screen within a single tab.
 #Vivaldi allows users to view more than two panels at the same time.
🅾️ #Opera offers vertical, horizontal, or grid layouts for up to four pages.
  #Google #Chrome as of February 2026 includes Split View in version 145+ for side-by-side viewing.

 #Firefox just introduced Split View.

Yet another reason to continue using #Firefox, #Librewolf, #Zen, etc.

Split View rolled out on March 24 to all Firefox users. If you would like to try it out. Make sure to install the latest version of Firefox 149. Then. right-click on a tab and choose Add Split View. You can also select two tabs using right-click, and choose Open in Split View.

Have fun splitting the web how many ways you like.

@brume malheureusement, le #logiciellibre ne se distingue pas vraiment dans ce triste bilan... #Firefox et #LibreOffice sont tous les deux très gourmands en ressource...

I've discovered that I can disable AI-based summaries on Firefox on iOS and get back access to the reader view! 🎉

Slightly misleading title but Linkedin apparently scans chrome extensions to profile you.

I guess what you give the platform wasn't enough?

Another good reason to use #Firefox

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.
