i've just tried an gnu #icecat after a long time. it's great experience \o/

Just found by accident a great keyboard shortcut in the Brave browser, firefox & IceCat.
Ctrl-Shift+Del will open the "delete browsing data" dialog.
Never knew this before (I'm sure others did) but it's really cool!

My recent post regarding #icecat browser extensions getting disabled has resolved itself. Not sure how though.

No changes made.......but all working now. It was really bad to happen and shows that even more things are beyond our own control and always rely on something behind the scenes to function.

At least it's working now.

#IceCat extensions disabled because they're not verified?!!

WTF is this BS?!

A look at #Firefox forks

https://lwn.net/Articles/1012453/

A lire comme ça, les alternatives à #Firefox, ça peut paraître simple, alors que ce n'est pas si évident, à l'installation, ni à l'utilisation / changement d'habitude. En cours d'essayage ici, l'usage de #IceCat et de #TorBrowser qui annoncent un certain niveau de respect des données personelles. Je n'ai pas le même niveau d'infos pour #Konqueror et #Chromium.
Là je suis sur l'ordi pour les tester dans un usage courant, je n'ai pas encore testé les sites commerciaux, administratifs ou bancaires.

Was having issues with Cloudflare checks on IceCat, and then discovered that I can bypass that issue by changing my user agent string to make my browser look like it's running on an Android device. This didn't work for any desktop OS, *just* Android.

The internet is a beautiful mess.

[blog] Quitter Firefox

Voilà un article que je n'aurai jamais cru écrire : comment quitter Firefox. La page dédiée au logiciel est l'une des plus ancienne du site (voir la plus ancienne). Difficile de changer 22 ans d'habitudes en quelques jours. Voici quelques pistes...

Given all the Firefox drama in the last few days, I think it's time for me to switch to a (g)new browser

To me it seems that Mozilla plans to expand its privacy-preserving technologies to gather more data from #firefox users. I am switching to #librewolf now, the final destination will be #gnu #icecat eventually, but that takes a little bit more effort.

#Cloudflare is blocking browsers including #PaleMoon, #Falkon, #SeaMonkey, #IceCat, and #Basilisk

Use firefox or a fork? These are incredibly useful in the address bar, but not advertised:

Add ^ to show only matches in your browsing history.
Add * to show only matches in your bookmarks.
Add + to show only matches in bookmarks you've tagged.
Add % to show only matches in your currently open tabs.
Add # to show only matches where every search term is part of the title or part of a tag.
Add $ to show only matches where every search term is part of the web address (URL). The text “https://” or “http://” in the URL is ignored, but not “file:///”.
Add ? to show only search suggestions.

[edited to add forks]

using #icecat on cage (actually ill not # that one) on #guix to send this post.

(i will do anything to refuse using gnome even when starting out on a new system)

Trying disabling my tab bar in IceCat via userChrome.css and tab searching for switching to get a more Emacs buffer-like experience. I really like it so far. Avoids a ton of visual clutter, and I can actually find the tab I wanna go to much easier.

I don't know if there's a given term for this mode of navigation, but I find it to be really convenient.

Bonjour à toots,

Devinez quoi ?

Naviguer sur #masto avec #icecat installé via #guix sous #debian c'est un peu comme se faire les griffes sur le canapé - trop bon
