"How i learned about Firefox MPRIS" - or - "[PSA/FYI] Add years to your life by avoiding this critical 'WTF?!?' moment."
I started using firedragon yesterday. it's great so far. that's not what this is about, but, probably has something to do with it.
- Is anyone here using FireDragon? How does it compare with Firefox and LibreWolf?
- I'm looking for a lightweight, non-Chromium-based browser.

Binaries for Arch Linux are not compatible with older GLIBC versions (I'm trying to create AppImages for other GNU/Linux distributions).
PS: I have the same issue with another program named Firedragon, the Firefox/LibreWolf fork for Garuda Linux, I have already talked with the developer about this issue. The main binary cannot work on other Linux distributions because the GLIBC version is not compatible. Any tips?

Which one is better Liberwolf Browser or Brave Browser?
A fork of Librewolf that's less strict is Firedragon. If you want to stay within the Mozilla ecosystem but find Librewolf to be overkill, consider this alternative.
-
How's your experience with Librewolf browser?.
A less extreme alternative is Firedragon which I've heard good things about, but haven't used. The only downside being that I believe as of right now your only install option is compiling from source, or get it by running Garuda Linux. Not a big deal, but obviously less convenient than a binary or flatpak.

Firefox slow to load YouTube? Just another front in Google's war on ad blockers
I just use a free desktop client called Freetube instead ( https://freetubeapp.io ). Don't even have to login or create a profile, and there's a ton of UI customization options built in. Voila -- no more Google shenanigans.

How to block YT ads like a champ

Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium (needs to update uBlock manually) in Incognito window with unchanged vanilla uBlock Origin with lists updated and no other plugins and without YouTube account. Works perfectly. Also FreeTube.
