What are you trying to host?

Probably would run into these things needed in this order:

• The text editor kakoune
• Add uBlock Origin to Firefox
• KeepassXC
• tmux

Then nodejs if it’s a laptop, or Steam if it’s a desktop.

Agreed, I wouldn’t recommend Librewolf for casual users. I understand why Librewolf makes those decisions, and I’m glad that it exists, but you definitely run into some quirks when using it. I’m thinking about switching from Librewolf to Waterfox myself.

The thing I dislike about Brave is that Brave intends to be an advertising company. Brave’s original idea for revenue was that the browser itself should be the ad platform. Brave doesn’t block ads because it has a pro-user manifesto; it blocks ads because it dislikes competition.

That’s why it makes no sense for people to abandon Firefox for Brave. I understand the backlash against Mozilla’s recent ad-focused shift, but Brave invented that idea. So leaving Firefox for Brave is not an improvement.

It’s the browser I’ve chosen to use after getting fed up w/ Gecko’s terrible web compatibility these days (coming from Librewolf).

I’m curious about what those compatibility issues are. It’s been years since I’ve noticed any problems – and back when I was seeing problems, it was mainly because Google could afford to implement new standards faster than Mozilla could, not because Mozilla was doing anything wrong. Could it have been because of Librewolf? Librewolf has a ton of privacy-focused settings that can sometimes make pages behave in strange ways. (It doesn’t use your real time zone, it ignores dark mode, it lies about which OS you’re on, and it constantly clears your cookies to name a few.)

And on a meta-note: I dislike Brave, but I don’t think the parent here is a comment that needs to be downvoted. We can just explain why Brave is a bad idea.

From now on, every time I’m carrying more than two bags of potting soil, I’m calling it “truck stuff.”

This video is such a perfect example of Poe’s Law.

Except it can’t be a parody, because he actually owns a Cybertruck, which means this video is too expensive to make as a joke. And you know that he owns one because he had his Instagram username painted on the back. Which, again, feels like it should be satire. Except it can’t be, because you have to actually have bought a Cybertruck to do it. My God they are ridiculous.

Looking forward to reading it! awk has been a huge blind spot for me for a long time now.
