New app review on my website!

IronFox
★★★★☆

A privacy-hardened Firefox variation for Android, comparable to LibreWolf on desktops. Removes Mozilla tracking and services like Pocket. Locks down features that can leak data, but those changes can break some sites.

Anyone with ADHD (not diagnosed but on waiting list): I kinda need you lot's help with browsers. How do you cull the tab hoarding? I use Vivaldi and I keep hoarding tabs and it's getting annoying lol.

gonna tag both browser types for maximum reach.

If I wanted to move away from #Firefox what's the most robust alternative?

I need it for both MacOS and Android, with passwords sync, heavy ad blocking (native or extensions), and so on.

What browser you rocking these day?

"Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI"

Are they also killing https://mozilla.social ?

Very happy I decided to have my own Mastodon instance,

@denschub Thank you for pushing #Firefox forward. Has been my main driver for many years

I’m trying to move away from #google.

What are your easy to use(!) favorites alternatives?

Currently I’m trying to do it like this:

#chrome -> #firefox (easy one)

Maps -> #openStreatMap (I’m trying this, maps was the most used, service for me … switch will be hard)

#gmail -> ??? (I‘m completely open, I don’t want to set up my own hosting, I’m eying mailbox.org)

fotos -> iCloud (I know it’s Apple, but obviously the poison I take for now)

#drive -> ???

Any suggestions for anything?
Thx!

"Faster Vue.js Execution in Firefox"

#Firefox performance on Vue.js has improved significantly throughout the year. Most recently, we sped up reactivity with Proxy optimizations.

#Firefox 116 has disabled "pull to refresh" by default on Android.

I just turned it on.

What the heck, Mozilla?

"Mozilla solves the Manifest V3 puzzle to save ad blockers from Chromapocalypse"

"Chrome's new platform for extensions, Manifest V3, limits the functionality of ad blockers. But Firefox has found a way around this problem"

#Privacy #Firefox #Chrome

@caleb Should be ok. Maybe it's something else?

#Firefox even supports CSS Subgrid

Just exported my vault and deleted my #LastPass account

What's the go-to recommendation? #BitWarden ? Do I need another third party password manager? Would it be safe to just use #Firefox ?

@SaraSoueidan I just use the web app on #Firefox works great (push notifications, etc)

@johanbove@indieweb.social Yeah the PWA experience on #Android using #Firefox is not great

For #Mastodon I had to install the #PWA via #GoogleChrome for a smoother experience. The only downside is that links open on Chrome and not Firefox
