I used Feedly for many years, but recently switched to Newsblur, and I love that it lets me filter out posts by tags or keywords, finally don’t have to use external tools for it.

this meme was my Facebook profile cover for a while 😁

Why not? I still look up information there too, but I use an adblocker, so it’s not like Spez is profiting from me.

If you don’t want to give them traffic, you can always visit the search result URL through the Wayback Machine or Archive.today.

I also have limited understanding, but these are huge corporations with huge userbases. If they start giving “helpful” input on how the ActivityPub protocol should develop, it may exert a strong pressure/influence due to their sheer size.

I know it’s not the same situation, but it reminds me of how Google keeps trying to push shady stuff into Chromium, even though it’s supposed to be free, open-source software.

I think this is their attempt to EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) the Fediverse, so I’m strongly in favour of immediately defederating corporate instances as soon as they are created.

I still see it, albeit rarely, on some subreddits, eg. NatureIsMetal

this works for me

thanks :)

Yea, iirc I went IE -> Mozilla -> Firefox.

Are their Windows binaries safe to use? I don’t have the knowledge to compile it myself.

thanks, I’ll look it up

Yea, I remember when it was just Mozilla browser. (I’ve been an internet user since around 2000-2001-ish.)

I’ve been a Firefox main since before it was even called Firefox :D

As much as it lagged behind in speed in the early days of Chrome, back then Chrome didn’t have anywhere near to Firefox’s amazing selection of addons, many of which were essential to my workflow.

That also meant that I hated Firefox’s switch to WebExtensions, as it gutted most of the addons I used at the time, and it took them many years to get back as many features as possible (which of course has never been all the original features).

I even switched to Firefox ESR, then when that dropped support too, to Waterfox for a few years to retain the ability to use classic addons. But eventually it became too much hassle, and I have been a Firefox mainbranch user again since 2021 :)

For the handful of websites that only work in Chrome (or when I need to test my own websites), I’ve been using Brave in recent years. It’s weirdly into crypto nonsense, but at least those features can be disabled. But if anyone knows a better Google-less Chromium browser, pls let me know!

looks nice, but I’m a PC user

thanks, it looks nice!

Huh, just looked him up, sad that he died so young :c

I tried out Fluent Reader (Windows) yesterday, but it was a bit buggy and lacked some necessary features, so I’m testing NewsBlur for now. The free version is kinda limited, but I love the training feature, and in general it feels the most user-friendly out of the 4-5 services/apps I tried yesterday.
