  • Unfortunately, as much as I hate to admit it as someone who has left Chromium behind personally, Chromium is kind of the only choice.

    With Mozilla’s rudderless stewardship of Firefox, I reluctantly agree with this. Firefox, and Mozilla, used to stand for something more than just a browser, but that is sadly vanishing now. Chrome is really the future and while I’m clinging on to Firefox, I will succumb in the end.

    It’s very sad. I’ve been a Firefox user for so long I’ve lost count. But Mozilla has lost it’s way and I don’t see it making any noise about getting back on course.

    I think having one browser engine is a very bad idea. But here we are.

    I settled on Raindrop.io which is free but I paid to support it ($30 a year I think). I had to change my workflow slightly and the Obsidian integration is not as great as Omnivore’s, but it wasn’t a pain. The browser integration is really good and I prefer it to Omnivore’s. It supports RSS and has a decent mobile app.

    Overall I think it’s a decent replacement and I’m happy.

    I tried Wallabag but the Obsidian integration was poor and Wallabag felt unloved recycle by extension made me question it’s future (which is unfair given my limited time with it). There was a trial which was not enough time for me to evaluate it comfortably.







  • Being up to date is the entire point and so typically there are only global options to either grab those updates from the vendor or host them internally on a central server but you wouldn’t want to slow roll or stage those updates since that fundamentally reduces the protection from zero days and novel attacks that the product is specifically there to detect and stop.

    That’s not your, or Crowdstrikes, decision to make. If organizations have applied settings to not install updates automatically then that’s what they expect to happen and you need to honour it. You don’t “know best”. They do.





  • I may have missed something.

    Firefox 127 has introduced privacy tweaks that are causing user dissatisfaction, particularly due to changes like the separation of normal and private windows on the taskbar and the closing of private tabs when the main instance closes on iOS.

    This sounds like it would be the expected behaviour?

    • Despite user complaints, the update includes new privacy and security enhancements such as upgrading subresources from HTTP to HTTPS and masking CPU architecture to reduce fingerprinting.

    This sounds like a good thing?

    • Mozilla plans to address user feedback by reintroducing the “browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled” preference as an opt-in and adding more intuitive privacy settings in future updates.

    This sounds like a good thing?




  • I use Debian 12. I use Spotify. And I don’t have this issue.

    What I have had is various issues with kernel 6.1.0-21. I’m currently using 6.1.0-18 on my laptop and 6.1.0-15 on my desktop and the issue I had are gone. Because of my experience, I’d suggest trying those kennels.
