oh that's easy

How far behind is each major Chromium browser?Answer: years & years & years

they still can't show multiple PiPs, still can't support treed tabs, still can't use proper uBO, still can't...

ps: yes yes, i know that's not what the questioner meant, but it was impossible not to pluck the very low hanging fruit. fuck google!

RE: https://m.einverne.info/users/HackerNewsBot/statuses/116512300597947176

as the sunniness of da sunroom is now beginning to decline, as per normal diurnal cycle, i be gonna soonish decamp back to da study where prolly the worst of da icicles might have thawed by now [a tad afore noon], thar to be back onto Proper Pooter, in lieu of sunroom's Pretend Pooter [ie, merely a 2011 lappy].

on said ProP i be gonna make a list of all my
​​ #archlinux #AUR pkgs installed, then cross-match them to pkg availability in say ​​ #Debian #Sid n ​​ #Fedora #Rawhide . if i get a reasonably high correlation, i then be gonna install such pkgs in Sid or Rawhide #Distroboxes, & uninstall them from AUR.

why?

1. tis getting pretty tiring with all the now-sadly-frequent
#DDoS attacks on the poor ol' AUR
2. though i am rigorous in inspecting the
#PKGBUILD for each prospective pkg before proceeding to install from AUR, i must admit i am largely pathetic in bothering to do #diffs of them before each subsequent update
3. as a congenitally depressed
#misanthropist who views the sour state of this wretched rock around her with its apparently nonstop rise in malicious arseholery & shitfuckery, i pessimistically expect increasing probability of AUR becoming an attack vector, so in such gloomy scenario i judge sticking to official #repos likely to be a saner choice for me given my #2

Verified fixed with Firefox 150.0b1 on Windows 11, macOS 15, and Ubuntu 24 that a Split View is successfully created when using Alt/Opt + clicking a tab with a different selected tab.


the bugger-factor though is that this is a native FF function, thus atm anyway is not available in AOs #Sidebery & #TreeStyleTab -- thus if using either, one needs to also still have access to the native tabs. In :firefoxnightly: i do that via a script that moves the native horizontal tab strip to the bottom, then autohides it. Meanwhile [depending on which Profile i'm using] for general browsing i use TST or S on the LHS.

@MelissaBearTrix

@mike @jr @Vivaldi fwiw #falkon has native TST capability, but alas has numerous disadvantages that have never allowed me to use it as my default. no other browser afaik has native tst, but the point is that all firefox & ff-based browsers can use two brilliant AOs, being #TreeStyleTab and #Sidebery, both of which provide magnificent infinite hierarchical tab structures. some peeps use a lame argument that "oh euw, then you have to use extensions!", but that argument is silly coz the alternative then is... never being able to have the excellent productivity & efficacy benefits afforded by hierarchical tabs.

ps the tabs panel is entirely useless for this purpose, in that it merely makes clear that the vivaldi tab stacking function is strictly single-level.

i do exasperate myself sometimes with my changing sensibilities wrt my preferred  #font. i keep toggling twixt #RobotoCondensed, and #NimbusSansNarrow . For the past several weeks i'd set it to the latter, but after a few [or several?] days of dissatisfaction with it, i've now toggled back to the former... yet again. based on history it seems inevitable that in another coupla months i'll likely jump back again.

otoh in #Plasma itself, i do seem reasonably settled with #NotoSansExtraCondensed -- this seems generally to survive much longer before i feel the urge to change it, compared to in my browser.

damn dopey dropbear! πŸ™„πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

"wasted" / spent 60' - 90' this morning investigating the latest #Floorp  update, v12.12.0, to ascertain if it might warrant me wandering back to it again as my default #browser, instead of my long-term stalwart  #FirefoxNightly

eventually decided it's not yet worth it

Pro

  • via the optional #Flasco experiment, FF's current #SplitTabs limits of only two tabs & only vertically split, is improved to four tabs with also horizontal & grid splits
  • Nightly's new #TabNotes function now also works in FF 149, ie, also Floorp
  • Zen mode option

Con

  • Floorp's tab-splitting operation tends to wreak havoc on #Sidebery's tab management
  • Zen mode is a novelty-only for me, rather than actually helpful
  • Nightly's fab new native emoji selector popup Ctrl + . function is not yet available in 149, ergo Floorp
  • [this is a joke remark] Floorp's experimental mode name of "Flasco" is really unfortunate, coz it constantly seems to me like "Fiasco" when written then carelessly read

https://blog.floorp.app/en/release/12.12.0/

  • The Zen Mode has been added. This provides users with a simple and calm environment to help them focus on their work.
    • The Zen Mode is designed to help users focus on web content by minimizing the browser interface and eliminating notifications and other distractions. By enabling The Zen Mode, users can enjoy a more comfortable browsing experience. This feature can be toggled on and off by clicking the toolbar icon, using mouse gestures, or keyboard shortcuts.

and

  • Split View can now be divided into up to 4 panes. Additionally, Split View state is now preserved after browser restart, and three layout options are available: vertical, horizontal, and grid. [Floorp Flasco]
    • While Firefox 149 introduced a Split View feature, this Floorp update improves upon it and customizes it to be more feature-rich to better suit Floorp. The current maximum is 4 panes, but we are considering increasing this in the future. However, since this is a very complex feature, it will undergo beta testing through Flasco for a while, and we plan to improve it based on user feedback.

@scottwilson peeps seem to whinge about this a lot, yet my  , my daily default browser for many many years, the alpha & thus notionally unstable fox, has never done this to me. never.

i read so many fedi & subreddit whines & whinges about such & such faults, bugs, misbehaviours et al perpetrated by this apparently miserably bad browser, all the while continuing to have a lovely online time here in my Nightly, & i just shrug & wonder how so many peeps can be so... unlucky πŸ€¨πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Not being able to read the news for nearly a year has left me with 2,500 dormant tabs. #Sidebery did a good job of unloading their state, but given how flakey my browser has been recently, maybe I’ve reached β€œstraw that breaks the camel’s back” territory… Now decanted into bookmarks. Let’s see if that helps and maybe _maybe_ one day I’ll get round to catching up with everything!
til today i have been managing & using all my #distrobox -es manually. no more. #TIL of #distroshelf, & am in love.
