@claude_flammang @bodomenke Entweder Firefox oder HA.
Ich vermute: beide
#Firefox hat kein ernstzunehmendes Memorymanagement. Jede Seite kann den kompletten Browser in den Abrgrund reißen.
#Homeassist hat ein ordentliches Memorymanagement und das Dashboard kann ein Tab killen.
#Homeassistant mit #Firefox auf macOs wird zunehmend unbenutzbar.
Nach dem Update auf 2025.4.1 muss ich jetzt bei jedem zweiten Wechsel der Ansicht erstmal das Tab killen und neu laden, damit überhaupt etwas passiert.
Hardware Acceleration (?) Not Working?
Kinda interesting Firefox add-on for viewing prices through the lens of people less/more/a lot more prosperous than you are.

Do you folx have any recommendations for a FOSS #Firefox alternative please? Trying to jump off Mozilla’s dumpster fire before it gets worse
Used to use Zen before Firefox added vertical tabs so I might go back to that but it’s not the most polished experience
How important should being open source be to me? Or, more precisely, should the obnoxiousness of #mozilla management outweigh the closed source nature of vivaldi.
I've been trying #vivaldi as a replacement for #firefox, my default browser. I could easily switch to vivaldi.
BUT vivaldi is not open source.
I've read the explanation for why parts of vivaldi are not open source was not convinced.
Hard to "weigh" incommensurable concerns.

@unmurcianoenbcn Son de esas preguntas que odio pero no me resisto a responder ... Nunca puedo decir uno y nada más: #Firefox (últimamente #Waterfox), #TiddlyWiki, #Thunderbird, #Zotero, #LibreOffice, #KRDC, #JClic, #eXeLearning, #DeltaChat, #gmusicbrowser, #Krita... ¿Ves? Imposible responder con uno.
Silent Credit Card Thief Uncovered
A sophisticated credit card skimming campaign dubbed 'RolandSkimmer' has been discovered, targeting users in Bulgaria. The attack utilizes malicious browser extensions across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, initiated through a deceptive LNK file. The malware employs obfuscated scripts to establish persistent access, harvesting and exfiltrating sensitive financial data. The attack workflow involves system reconnaissance, downloading additional malicious files, and injecting scripts into web pages. The threat actor uses unique identifiers to track victims and employs sophisticated techniques to evade detection. The campaign demonstrates the evolving nature of web-based credit card skimming threats, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures against LNK-based attacks and unverified browser extensions.

@volkerdi I'm sure you've heard about Mozilla's changes in their privacy policy for Firefox (it's old news, but still). The implications of it have prompted a few distros to remove Firefox from their repos/default installation.
What's the game plan for Slackware? Will it keep using Firefox by default, or will you be phasing it out of the package tree, or what?
@jon My story is that in the early 2000's I was very torn between Internet Explorer, #Firefox and #Opera. I was constantly trying out new browsers.
Opera, however, was the browser that offered the most extensive options for customizing the browser to your own needs, at that time without any interface for add-ons. And that with strong competition like Firefox, which offered an interface for add-ons.
When the big change came after version 12 of the Opera browser, I had to take the difficult path, as there was no real alternative. I don't like to think back to that time.
When Vivaldi then developed a new browser under the direction of Jon von Tetzchner with many former Opera Software employees, I immediately realized that something really big was going to happen and that there would finally be a great alternative on the browser market again.
Without further ado, I have been using Vivaldi every day since the first technical preview (TP1) and would never want to use any other browser again. Having followed the development of Vivaldi since the (official) beginning, it's like watching a child grow up.
Vivaldi is my constant companion, both privately and professionally. Especially in the professional environment, Vivaldi offers me great opportunities to optimize my #workflow.
If you are using #firefox go to "about:config" and switch the "browser.ml.chat.enabled" option to false.
You're welcome.
@bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii that's a general problem with #Mozilla.
They completely loose #focus and I think they should hand over #Firefox to @torproject and turn #TorBrowser into the Upstream...
I appreciate your genuine efforts, @jon, but #Vivaldi is still based on #Chromium… you are technically dependent on a browser engine maintained by #Google! What if all of a sudden they decide to close it? As improbable as it might sound, we are in an epoch of absolutely improbable stuff happening.
I thought about giving Vivaldi a try, but to be honest I was never interested in installing any browser that is not a #Firefox fork.
#FreeSoftware is not an extra added value, but something fundamentally relevant!
(I read your articles about the points I raised, but they are just technical and they gliss political and socio-economic aspects)
