Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Thanks for this post and the fun artwork, you convinced me to finally make the jump!

[–] kagan@wandering.shop 1 points 1 day ago

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org The artwork and the alt text describing it are both poignant and touching.

I'm about to migrate from Firefox (which I've been using since it was Netscape 3.04) to Librewolf as well. It's nice to feel welcomed.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Ce projet LibreWolf semble sympathique mais pas compatible avec firefox syncs, ce qui est sans doute logique, mais sans alternative.
Je teste également Floorp...

@yalle tu peux facilement activer firefox sync dans la configuration de librewolf. 100% compatible.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I still use Firefox, but I disabled sending any data to Mozilla.

Thanks for not contributing to Chromium monopoly. :)

I wonder what the Linux distros that have Firefox in the default install are going to do going forward?

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Got rid of Chrome for Chromium I guess Firefox will have to be replaced with an alternative as well since they decided to follow in Google's footsteps.

[–] Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it worth running LibreWolf without fingerprinting disabled? It's kind of a dealbreaker that it doesn't save zoom options on websites. At least I could handle having to run another browser to use Netflix...

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org
Merci pour la découverte.
Mais le souci sera le même que Chrome au final, dépendre de l'évolution de FF pour le code principal.

Great art, so cute!

[–] unixcaesar@fosstodon.org 1 points 1 day ago

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I just switched to librewolf as well.

[–] pre@boing.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Yep, I switched on my main machine when Mozilla merged with an advertising company, which is to say the new combined entity is an advertising company.

@davidrevoy « Installing #LibreWolf on my Debian was surprisingly simple » Coucou 👋 Tu aurais un conseil pour jouir de cette facilité ? Je suis sur Ubuntu et je galère comme pas possible pour l'installer 😭

[–] batistecarpinetty@mastodon.art 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

@nicolagaffe Merci, je vais essayer par là : celui que j'ai téléchargéi via le site de #librewolf ne voulait pas s'installer 😶
