I did completely get rid of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird on my personal systems now.

Firefox :firefox: was my main browser for many years and I used it since Netscape transformed into OSS Firefox 20 years ago.

But the Mozilla foundation nowadays doesn't do a good job in maintaining the software. Bad political choices, focus on what I consider the wrong priorities and falling more and more behind on the techical details.

I moved to the Chromium based Vivaldi :vivaldi: browser on all my systems. It's snappier, faster and way more reliable. Hardware acceleration does work out of the box under Linux and E-Mail is already built-in (although, I more often use KMail by KDE for that).

I'm highly satisfied with Vivaldi after using it for the past 6 months and never looked back.

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)

So in chromium 135 I'm finally seeing V2 (and by extension ublock origin) disabled.

I switched to ublock origin lite, and after a few days of usage I haven't actually noticed a difference, other than needing to manually configure aggressive filtering and also the missing ability to disable javascript for the site.

Anything in particular that works much worse in ublock origin lite compared to ublock origin?

It has been an interesting week for PC technical issues:

Stardew Valley suddenly couldn't connect online. I play this with my fiancee who lives in another country so it was particularly vexing. Turns out it was a Linux update to 'glibc', a rare update from them that knowlngly broke user-space (A Linux dev no-no). It actually broke Discord too but you didn't see that because Discord got a fix in place in a hurry.

And the
Vivaldi browser developed a weird habit of opening KDE's shortcut page in Settings every time it was opened. The culprit here is Chromium, upon which Vivaldi is based, seemingly having introduced this bug in the recent update to v134.

Workarounds are now in place for both, soothing my sanity.

Lol, I was right into thinking there was something "off" about #ZorinOS years ago when I was considering which #Linux distro to migrate away from #Windows. Shitty, reactionary decisions like this would turn me off so badly and seriously make me question their judgement in maintaining their distro. If they actually care about "privacy" and have issues with #Firefox (or rather, #Mozilla), something like #LibreWolf would've been a more natural choice rather than moving to a #Chromium based browser, as if #Google needs a stronger dominance in their web presence - let alone #Brave, one of the (objectively) shadiest options of them all.

Do #Chromium-based browsers have a weird bug with handling video volume, at least on Windows? This has happened in two browsers now: #OperaGX and #Vivaldi

- Play a video, pop it out, adjust the volume
- Pause it
- Wait 10-30 seconds, do something in a different window
- Unpause video, the volume has *increased* all on its own
- Volume slide in popout window also doesn't stay in step with original slider in browser tab

Annoying
