To quote the great Mahatma Gandhi: “Yes”
What about Safari? Why no one ever talked about it?
It’s the only browser (that I know of) that allows Netflix streaming in 4k.
That’s only because you use a Mac, on Windows only Edge allows 4k Netflix. It’s the integrated browsers that have the HDCP hardware features so it allows 4K
Could that be achieved with “Chrome on Windows” spoofing on FF?
No. For 4K Netflix the browser needs to talk to a specific, locked down, part of your Intel (!) CPU. This only works on Edge in Windows or Safari on MacOS (it also works with the Store apps). It never works on Linux and it does not work on Chrome or Firefox.
Waterfox agrees with you to some degree
I’d assume because the majority of people here don’t use Apple products
Chrome is the pimp Firefox is the whore. Vanilla Firefox is full of spyware from Google.
Absolutely not, and there are other forks like Waterfox and Librewolf which are very much focussed on providing custom versions of FF, focused on privacy, security and freedom.
Yes, this forks are better than Vanilla Firefox but I’m not referring to them in this case
Other point, Firefox is not so secure as you think
How do you figure? Firefox is not a chromium based browser, and Mozilla is not owned by google.
Yes, Firefox is not based on Chromium but that doesn’t exempt it from being full of built-in Google crap
YOU are the one making the claim so YOU NEED TO PROVIDE THE PROOF.
just make a check of your DNS requests and open about:config and you will see a lot of google crap
Examples?
All I know is he really loved including the N-word in his books.
You know that part of Huckleberry Finn where his dad goes on a racist tirade? That was actually criticism of poor whites being ok with their shit conditions simply because they could look down on black people. Twain was based as fuck for his time period.
Mark Twain’s quotes are my goto in many situations. He is based AF, indeed.
Wait - are you saying people didn’t have our modern social norms back then? Who would have thought!
Educated 13 year old right here
That’s because people sure liked to say it around the time he wrote them
Of all the shit you could call Mark Twain out on, treatment of African Americans isn’t one of them. His books humanized them, despite his upbringing in a community where slavery was ordained by the church and state, and his father owning several as well. As he grew older, those views became more and more apparent.
He’s required reading material in a lot of Critical Race Theory courses.
Just don’t quote him on his view of American Indians.
Oh yeah, he treated them like subhumans.
Average Twitter user when something doesn’t have immediate context
I just wish Firefox had a “stay running in the background” option like Chrome so that I didn’t have to log back into my Bitwarden vault everytime I accidentally close all of my browser windows.
Seems to be a security feature that is bypassed by a Chrome feature.
Sounds like an OPSEC disaster waiting to happen.
Go to about:config - find option browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab - set to false. If you’re only using the close tab button, it will never close out of the program. If you’re closing a lot of windows using the window control though that won’t really help.
This did actually help a lot, thanks!
It also is very unstable when using multiple profiles. The profiles update individually, so very often you start a second profile and it updates firefox, which makes the first profile not work anymore. You don’t really notice that though, it just stops loading any websites.
Also on mobile it stops streams running in the background after some time, so when listening to something via firefox you have to actively use FF while listening, can’t leave the phone turned to standby
On mobile, I’ve found that switching tabs before switching away from the FF activity mitigates this. Not sure if it’s FF, the website, or Android messing it up, really.
That’s the guy from that TNG episode!
For those unaware, I believe it is Time’s Arrow from Season 5 & 6 Episodes 26 & 1
I say, indeed it is
Twin Twain’s? That dog won’t hunt.
and the award for most irritating impersonation goes to…

The original quote is every bit as true too
