Take Back the Web
Maybe you are already a Firefox user, we are part of a minority on the web today, and think that this text is not for you. You’re probably right, but I’d like to make a few points here and ask for your help in taking the web back before it’s too late. And if you don’t use Firefox, you’ve been using some version of Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave or Vivaldi) a few years ago this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, but today it’s bad for the health and freedom of an web that respect privacy and is not controlled by capitalist corporations, the so-called Big Techs.
Is there more to this post? Not seeing any points outside of an opening statement. Using Memmy right now, so I may be missing a big chunk of this post!
The article should link to https://pauloroger.dev/post/take-back-the-web/ -- if it doesn't, it might be an issue with the client.
Awesome, thanks for taking the time to link again!
Weird it didn't show up for me. I posted a link on a comment earlier and it showed up bright orange. Weird. Thank you for posting it for me.
Ok I figured it out. It's a habit I have from sync for reddit. When sync shows a link post on the main page I can click the title to open the comments or the link thumbnail or whatever to open whatever the linked content is. Once in the post I can click the header and it'll open the link. Here on Lemmy I have to click the link from the main page and atleast in dark mode it doesn't stand out much that it's a link post with test and not just a text post.
Reading it in my browser and nope that seems to be all there is.
You've got to click the image next to the title to go to whatever URLs are associated with a post.
Yeah I realized that after my comment. It basically the exact same thing as reddit I'm just an idiot 😂
haha, np
I see that the "Take Back the Web" text is linked to the link I mentioned on the UI at https://lemmy.world/post/1116208.
I used to use Firefox until several years ago when it became super slow and full of memory leaks that caused me to close it and restart all the time.
Chrome is so much faster.
Is Firefox a viable alternative now? I used to love it but it became unusable.
Firefox had a significant rework awhile ago to improve its performance, so I suspect it may run better for you these days if the last time you used it was several years ago. It's the browser I'm currently using & it runs smoothly for me even with a silly amount of tabs open.
Why not try it and see?
It would take literal minutes. Who got that time?
I love Firefox and it would be my browser of choice if only Apple allowed it to utilise content blockers on iOS. Unfortunately by design it’s just so much more limited (and is just a skin) of Safari on iPhones but if this ever changes, and I hope it does some day, I’d be back on Firefox in a flash.
Safari is the only browser on iOS, unfortunately
😭
The only thing that I do not use Firefox for is when I download stuffs from mega.nz, as somehow using Firefox to do this always resulted in huge amount of RAM being consumed, so I have to use Vivaldi for this exact kind of task. Everything else, Firefox all the way.
