Cogito ergo mecagoendiosMar 5, 2024

I just saw a toot explaining a useful "youtube fixer" firefox add on that removes "for you..." and "people also search..." from search results.

This made me realize how far we have come the wrong way: we are now in THE AGE OF ADVERSARIAL FEATURE DESIGN. Product creators introduce anti-features to attempt to divert user attention AWAY from what they want. Users are captive to the ecosystem because the software USED TO BE useful, and they actively have to block against new features to keep it so.

@elrohir Okay, that might just be the last nudge I needed to switch over. Sadly, Opera's functionality for porting over data is cumbersome and incomplete, so I've been putting it off for some time.

@golai @elrohir Firefox has an importer step at install to migrate everything from another browser. Not sure if it supports opera though.

@joby @elrohir I'm pretty sure I checked but Opera wasn't on the list, but I'll double check just to be sure.
