  • hello, maybe i am back for a while
    2 projects | dev.to | 31 Jul 2024
    the original plan was to self-host my blog and write there but lot of stuff happend and i still haven't created a self-hosted blog. so i will stick to dev.to for my next posts as my good old waterfox classic browser was killed by "overjavascriptification" from all sides. now i am on a browser mix of my good old waterfox, librewolf and ungoogled chromium. i will evaluate thorium and mercury next. why don't i use the regular firefox? because i really don't like the direction mozilla is going to. the last wtf was the implemenation of some kind of tracking which is opt-out and not opt-in.

    I used both Librewolf on linux and Waterfox on windows. Liked both browsers but chose Waterfox to continue with. Will not compare the performance of these browsers as used them on different systems. At least Waterfox was faster than Firefox on windows. Currently trying Floorp and Basilisk. I would suggest to check Mercury as well: https://thorium.rocks/mercury
  • Google's decision to deprecate JPEG-XL emphasizes the need for browser choice and free formats

    Don't use Chrome. Try something, anything, else. The Thorium browser is fantastic, fast, and does basically everything Chrome does. If you're a Firefox person, consider trying Mercury, Waterfox, Pale Moon, or Basilisk. There is a whole world of rich browser forks that are specialized & often work better than their mainstream alternatives. Here, you can see they listened to us when large organizations didn't.
