I misread this as block youtube ads, but i have been here, although I am never watching yt ads again, this seems helpful
There was one headline once which read Donald Trump rejects accusations he's a nazi by showing his rejection letter. Doesn't seem that mild to me.
here's one, conservative but funny
right wing but funny tbh
they often take shots at republicans, it's quite funny tbh. They are not neutral, but sure as hell are funny
would have been better if Dianne Feinstein was holding Bernie's hands :')

what do you think of Myanonamouse, aren't they getting way too much data from their signups? I don't mind having to seed to 1.0 ratio at least. I am ok with doing it, but seriously though, they apparently need me to verify through my torrenting app that I am seeding. I would have preferred screenshots. But, yeah, why?
libgen has audiobooks? You must be kidding me! I use it daily! I thought it was only for ebooks
I like audiobooks on audible and my free trial has expired, I forgot to save some files through libation, so now, where can I pirate the audiobooks on audible?
- Audiobook bay doesn't have the books I need
- PirateBay has the book but not the same voice (I am a sucker for this man's voice, I even said as much in the review)
not the op but thanks dude! now, you're under arrest under the suspicion of not seeding enough.
Would be hilarious if some type of planted misinformation is responsible for this practice.
interesting! Thank you!
what do we know about the painting in the meme? I mean, I am pretty sure the artist who painted them would have never seen this coming
I mean do they hide the bloody plane? Planes have a very noticeable outline perhaps they are trying to hide it. This way for a drone with low quality cameras, it might not look like a target immediately? And I am thinking these drones have humans sitting behind them and have bad cameras.
If the drones are programmed almost anything unexpected can put them off course. (Looking at you Million dollar russian missile hitting Ukrainian toilets)
Thinking the enemy is dumb is almost never a great plan and it certainly doesn't help you. Luckily for Ukraine, the people who think the enemy is dumb are sitting behind a computer and not inside a command post.
I am using an FOSS app called Automation Git repo, it doesn't allow me to directly open Android Apps except if I use scripts. I don't know what scripts it's talking about, but I am trying to learn. Just like there are bash shell scripts, are there android scripts or something of the sort?
Also, Is it possible to open an Android Application (KDE Connect) using Termux cli on Android? I don't want to do pkg install kdeconnect I think it works. But, is it possible to run applications such as kde connect android, syncthing android using termux?
I want to auto start Termux and KDE Connect whenever I reboot. I basically need to launch android applications Termux and KDE connect while my Samsung phone starts and it can't do it by itself, so, I want a app like MacroDroid which is opensource.

I just tried to skim through Linux User Manual and it was really quite informative and made me think of reading it someday, but I kinda know for a fact that that someday might never come, but it's truly a shame though.
Now, you, yes you! Have you read the user manual of your Operating system!
[I am wasting a lot of time on here, so I won't be engaging or enraging y'all, but this is a good convo topic, isn't it? (try that on a girl), I just wanted to know how many or how few people read UMs]___
Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an alternative and I found odysee.com/ and it seems to be open source and less prone to censorship, I was wondering what you guys were using or thinking of switching too. I think Odysee is FOSS which is giant plus for me and I absolutely love it's looks.
What do you guys think?
Is there a thing like good extensions and bad extensions on firefox. I mean, I don't want to know about privacy and security of extensions right now, but does some extensions slow down the performance of firefox more than other extensions?
Also, how to distinguish these extensions from others? Does size of the extension matter? i.e., if the size of the extension is higher does that mean it's eating more resources or will eat more resources.
Does a good extension run on all pages or only on the pages it's needed? Is there a better way to handle extensions? Maybe disable some extensions which are not in use, idk!
I have this amazing site I like and everytime I want to enter it, it shows me this !
I was running browsing the internet and I saw that some extension on firefox would get rid of this problem, it was on a meme on either lemmy or on reddit. But, yeah, is there an extension to get rid of the Cloudfare "Checking if your connection is secure" stuff? I am tired of it
Of c, I can just google or search for an extension in the extensions store, but I trust you guys will have the best solution, so here I am. Thank you!
I realize this is lazy, but I did try to wiki this and I don't know if the numbers are accurate and it's pretty complicated to read.
I want to know the numbers on both sides. I realize this might seem a little unsensitive and there is a story behind every number, but I still want to know the human cost of war. Because it does look like it's one of the worst wars in terms of human cost in recent memory. Now, how many people have died in the war and are we doing everything we can to end the war?
Edit: War Casualties Stands at 500k (Russian + Ukrainian, excluding civilians), this number is from the https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/us/politics/ukraine-russia-war-casualties.html
I doubt the Ukrainian Death count mentioned here, 70k (200k casualties), I doubt if the death toll among the Ukrainians are that low.
Just to put things into perspective 58,220 US personnel died (Fatal casualties) in Vietnam which lasted close to a decade.
Edit 2: Abandoning this thread. I got my answer and I have been using Lemmy a lot these past days (and that's not good. We all have better things to do than sit infront of a computer)
edited the heading of the question. I think most of us here are reasoning why more people are not using firefox (because it was the initial question), but none of that explains why it's actively losing marketshare.
I don't agree ideologically with Firefox management and am somewhat of a semi-conservative (and my previous posts might testify to that), I think Firefox browser is absolutely amazing! It's beautiful and it just feels good. It has awesome features like containers. It's better for privacy than any mainstream browser out there (even counting Brave here) and it has great integration between PC and Phone. It's open-source (unlike Chrome) and it supports a good chunk of extensions you would need.
This was about PC, but I believe even for Mobiles it looks great and it allows features like extensions (and I hear desktop extensions are coming to firefox android?), it's just a great ecosystem and it's available everywhere unlike most FOSS softwares.
So why is Firefox's market share dying?
I mean, I have a few ideas why it might be, maybe correct me I guess?
- Most people don't know how to use extensions well and how to use Firefox well. (Most of my friends in their 30's still live without ad blockers, so I don't think many are educated here)
- It's just not as fast as Chrome or Brave. I can't deny this, but despite of this, I find it's worthy.
- It's not the default.
- Many features which are Google specific aren't supported.
- Many websites are just not supporting firefox anymore (looking at you snapchat), but you would be right in saying this is the effect of Firefox losing it's market share not the cause (at least for now) and you would be right.
But what else?
I might take time (a lot of it) to get back at you, thanks for understanding.

I was trying to disable telemetry on firefox after having refreshed it (it wiped out everything and reset everything)
And I found this github page to be very concise and to the point. If you are planning on disabling telemetry, this might help https://github.com/K3V1991/Disable-Firefox-Telemetry-and-Data-Collection
edit: Oct 2 This didn't solve the problem. i.e., it randomly still reappears sometimes.

edit: I refreshed firefox and except for one website, whatsapp and other websites seems to be working fine. Make sure you save the extensions and extension settings (and if you are not logged into your Mozilla account, everything else before you do it, even the themes, I lost a good theme because I didn't save it and even my mozilla account didn't sync it back)
I posted this a few days go and I am facing the same problem even now and I was wondering if someone knows how to make the clipboard paste thing work like Normal.
I am using Linux. I can't paste images in some websites and texts in some websites at random times. One time it might work and another time it might not work. It was supposed to be a bug which was fixed by Monday (this monday), but it isn't fixed and it persists no matter what the state of dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled

Pretty weird coming from firefox if you ask me.
How does it work anyway? I mean, how does Firefox make money? Are they paid per google search or something like that?
And, do they make money if I use forks of firefox and use Google on them?
And, what are the total number of active users for Mozilla and do the forks account into this count?
edit: Yeah, the problem has worsened.
So yeah, I wanted to paste a video on chatbox of a friend on Whatsapp web but I wasn't able to. When I tried to find a solution for it, I found this (Mozilla forums link) and it says, I have to reset my firefox browser. Now, my firefox is pretty customized, is there a way to save the extensions I have downloaded and their settings before I purge everything basically?
I use Linux btw, but, this is not Distro specific. If you follow the forums link, you would see that that guy was using some shitty distro called Windows 10
PS: I love firefox and can never bring myself to use Chrome, but this has been a utter waste of time and I wish I didn't have to do this. This wasted a lot of time.
