I appreciate your genuine efforts, @jon, but #Vivaldi is still based on #Chromium… you are technically dependent on a browser engine maintained by #Google! What if all of a sudden they decide to close it? As improbable as it might sound, we are in an epoch of absolutely improbable stuff happening.
I thought about giving Vivaldi a try, but to be honest I was never interested in installing any browser that is not a #Firefox fork.
#FreeSoftware is not an extra added value, but something fundamentally relevant!
(I read your articles about the points I raised, but they are just technical and they gliss political and socio-economic aspects)
It happenend. Chromium on Arch no longer supports uBlock Origin. This browser is useless to me now. My main browser is firefox anyways (and it is locked down a lot) but I used Chromium for some simple scrolling things.
It has been an interesting week for PC technical issues:
Stardew Valley suddenly couldn't connect online. I play this with my fiancee who lives in another country so it was particularly vexing. Turns out it was a Linux update to 'glibc', a rare update from them that knowlngly broke user-space (A Linux dev no-no). It actually broke Discord too but you didn't see that because Discord got a fix in place in a hurry.
And the Vivaldi browser developed a weird habit of opening KDE's shortcut page in Settings every time it was opened. The culprit here is Chromium, upon which Vivaldi is based, seemingly having introduced this bug in the recent update to v134.
Workarounds are now in place for both, soothing my sanity.

Chromium now has initial, experimental support for the xdg-session-management #wayland protocol, which will start shipping in canary channel in the coming days. I've implemented and tested it against Mutter 48, the only compositor supporting it atm - also experimentally - since version 47.

Même sous #GNU/ #Linux #Debian, #Chromium ne pourra plus respecter l’utilisateur ! Avec son Manifest V3, #Google impose le respect de ses propres accords commerciaux en maintenant les publicités de ses partenaires sous les yeux de l’utilisateur, de gré ou de force.

Lol, I was right into thinking there was something "off" about #ZorinOS years ago when I was considering which #Linux distro to migrate away from #Windows. Shitty, reactionary decisions like this would turn me off so badly and seriously make me question their judgement. If they actually care about "privacy" and have issues with #Firefox (or rather, #Mozilla), something like #LibreWolf would've been a more natural choice rather than moving to a #Chromium based browser, as if #Google needs a stronger dominance in their web presence - let alone #Brave. https://youtu.be/pektPYhM7pw

After wondering why the screen reader wasn't working with Flatpak versions of Chromium and GNOME Web, I figured I should document this somewhere

Is Mozilla Trying To Kill Firefox?
Minimal Linux OS runs in a 6MB PDF Document in Chrome.
A version of the Linux operating system can now be run inside a PDF opened by a Chromium-based browser. The developer [Ading2210] explains that Linux need a modified version of the TinyEMU RISC-V emulator.
Dopo lo shock sulle condizioni d'uso di Firefox, mi tocca salutare quel browser. È stato bello usarlo per così tanti anni (ho iniziato ad usarlo quando non c'era nemmeno la versione 1.0, figuratevi...), ma ora le nostre strade si separano.
Ho fatto un po' di ricerche ma al momento sembra impossibile trovare un vero e proprio sostituto. Perché?
Per me, nel 2025 le caratteristiche che un browser deve avere sono poche, ma imprescindibili.
1) Deve essere open source o almeno europeo.
2) Devo poterlo utilizzare su tutti i miei dispositivi.
3) Devo poter sincronizzare password, preferiti e schede tra i miei dispositivi.
4) Deve avere un buon supporto all'accessibilità perché essendo debole di vista devo poter leggere agevolmente.
Un software che risponde a tutte queste caratteristiche non esiste, ma quello che si avvicina maggiormente è Vivaldi. La modalità lettura lascia un po' a desiderare, ma diamo loro il tempo di lavorare.
Ne ho valutati molti, come dicevo, e al momento rilevo queste che per me sono gravi carenze:
Opera, tra tutti, era uno dei più maturi; mi dispiace molto che sia stato venduto a una società cinese (non lo sapevo). So che stanno ricomprando le loro azioni, vedremo cosa accadrà.
Alla fine penso che userò Vivaldi, ma devo ancora provarlo per bene su PC.
Sembra un problema da poco,una dal browser passa tutta la nostra vita digitale o quasi.
Che qualcuno prenda il posto di Mozilla nel panorama Open? Speriamo!
Resto in ascolto delle vostre osservazioni
Microsoft Edging ! ! (e non solo)
https://t.me/OTIdroid/642291A parte i problemi poi risolti dell’altro giorno di Firefox, stavo provando altri browser, Chromium-based, sul #tablet… perché comunque su di esso la volpe gira particolarmente male, mentre #Chromium non solo è bello liscio, ma ha anche delle ottimizzazioni per l’uso con la tastiera fisica; e aveva quelle per il mouse da ben prima di Firefox. Ovviamente, le scelte sono purtroppo pochine, se si è utenti di potenza, quindi ora sto provando varie opzioni e poi vedremo.
Vorrei ovviamente le estensioni, quindi ho provato un po’ Microsoft #Edge, che da poco ne ha aggiunte, seppur solo una selezione scarsa (ma ci sono sia gestori di userscript che adblock e qualche chicca mista, quindi ok)… però è un mezzo troiaio! A parte che è lentino a partire, ma poi gira bene, stranamente ha un bug per cui, usando scorciatoie da tastiera, è come se il CTRL restasse premuto, e quindi la rotellina del mouse zoomma anziché scrollare, finché non si ripreme… masonna! Vivaldi ha la stessa funzione di zoom, ma senza questo bug… Mah, butterò via tutto.
Been fighting with a weird bug / issue in Bazzite, and (knocking on wood) I think I may have finally figured out what triggers it?
For the months now, I would have an issue (at least daily) where my center monitor stops updating the picture. If I don't resolve the issue (typically by ctrl+alting to a diff session and then back) quickly enough, eventually the remaining screens would stop updating, and the entire system would hang.
This problem seemed to get worse when I tried using Floorp for my browser, so on a whim I've tried going back to a diff browser as my daily driver - and specifically using Vivaldi (Chromium based) for my always-running-twitch-stream.
And so far, the issue hasn't resurfaced...? Again, knocking on wood?
Like I'll be truly happy if that issue is resolved with this, but am going to be very irate if there's just some weird intersection of firefox fork / nvidia drivers / video streaming / bazzite that I discovered, causing this hang. :/
Do #Chromium-based browsers have a weird bug with handling video volume, at least on Windows? This has happened in two browsers now: #OperaGX and #Vivaldi
- Play a video, pop it out, adjust the volume
- Pause it
- Wait 10-30 seconds, do something in a different window
- Unpause video, the volume has *increased* all on its own
- Volume slide in popout window also doesn't stay in step with original slider in browser tab
Annoying
