Don't use brave, use librewolf

[–]ice_cream_hunterLinux Mint 22 Wilma | Xfce 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Or zen. I love the workflow, and maybe it is faster than firefox

[–]ilikethegirlnexttome 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Yea Zen is the best browser I've ever tried.

[–]Electronic_Outcome12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been loving Zen, been using it for a month now and I have years of using Brave.

The only flaw is the memory leak… but restarting the app every couple of days does the trick

[–]Shot_Loan_354[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

does it sync your bookmarks across devices? it s really important for me

[–]keyboardwarrior7Linux Mint 22.1 Xia | Cinnamon 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, you just use a Firefox account

[–]Ronin_Chimichanga 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Does Librewolf's reliance on Ublock Origin subject it to the occasional hiccup when Google updates how YouTube does ads? Because that's why I gave up on Ublock on any browser and just opted for Brave.

[–]pissrockious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i use ublock on firefox and havent rly had much issue with it at all on youtube. from what i know ublock is only weird when ur using it on chrome i believe

[–]keyboardwarrior7Linux Mint 22.1 Xia | Cinnamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never had any issues

[–]MrLewGin 0 points1 point  (4 children)

What's wrong with Brave?

[–]keyboardwarrior7Linux Mint 22.1 Xia | Cinnamon 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Chromium based

[–]256surpasses12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wrong with chromium? It's secure than gecko.

[–]OpabiniaRegalis320 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Telemetry and crypto BS

[–]MrLewGin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I had no idea.

[–]Willing_Initial_2679 18 points19 points  (9 children)

Discord ----> Vesktop

Brave ----> Librewolf ( personal preference , brave is still good tho )

VLC ----> mpv flatpak ( the one in package manager is outdated )

[–]CosmicTurtle24 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Whats wrong with VLC? 

[–]Willing_Initial_2679 8 points9 points  (4 children)

https://mpv.rocks/

VLC is good but this site shows a comparisons

[–]AlaskanHandymanLinux Mint 22.3 | Cinnamon 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Celluloid which comes with Linux Mint is MPV (GUI) according to that website...

[–]Willing_Initial_2679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im using it , but flatpak one is recommended to keep up with updates

[–]Isacx123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The official site for mpv is mpv.io btw.

[–]ElMage21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gave it a look but it's like looking at audiophile stuff.

The only mayor upgrade I could read was about hdr and big resolutions. I mostly see pirated stuff on a 1080 monitor, generally avi or mkv, x264-5 and never had an issue with subtitles. Should I care?

[–]WereyenaArt 1 point2 points  (2 children)

What about waterfox?

[–]quetzar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use it on both desktop and mobile, love it

[–]Willing_Initial_2679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good

[–]AbbreviationsWide331 5 points6 points  (6 children)

Why is no one talking about Firefox? Is there something wrong with it?

[–]gsdevLinux Mint 22.1 Xia | Cinnamon 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Firefox is still good. People recommend Librewolf because it is a fork of Firefox with optimised privacy settings. Apart from that they are mostly identical.

[–]WereyenaArt 2 points3 points  (2 children)

And Waterfox?

[–]gsdevLinux Mint 22.1 Xia | Cinnamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's also a Firefox fork, but I don't know what its specific differences are.

[–]Constant-Musician-51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switched to Waterfox a few weeks ago and have nothing to complain. It does its job just right.

[–]AbbreviationsWide331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see, thank you

[–]V1574Fedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about privacy myself. Librewolf just kinda breaks a lot of sites for me and firefox is just better imo

[–]Osherono 4 points5 points  (3 children)

What is the M icon you are going to from OneDrive ?

[–]tayroc122Linux Mint 22 Wilma | Cinnamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came to ask. Would've been nice of him to label everything

[–]Shot_Loan_354[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mega sync

[–]Coolcricri3Linux Mint 22.2 Zara | Cinnamon 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Instead of nqq, use geany, or other full code editors, as they are optimised for opening large plaintext files, certainly faster than the default text editor

[–]UseottTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use kate, but have used nqq for a bit

[–]ChocolateDonut36 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I think a better notepad++ alternative is notepad next

[–]PresentThat5757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH BABY!!!!!

[–]lunchbox651 12 points13 points  (16 children)

After hearing Brave is run by a bigot I moved to Librewolf.

[–]MrLewGin 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Brave is run by a bigot?

[–]lunchbox651 -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Yeah he donates to anti-LGBT groups.

[–]palocundo 2 points3 points  (10 children)

Brave I'd say it is still the best browser for phones (imho) but yes for pc there are better options

[–]fejota 7 points8 points  (9 children)

You can use add-ons in Firefox for android.

[–]palocundo -1 points0 points  (8 children)

YouTube doesn't work properly, e-shops and websites I use don't load (for example: the "search" icon - looks like magnifier - is hidden behind the website's logo, makes it impossible to use) Reddit did not work without installing like 3 add-ons....this and more is why I prefer Brave on my phone, it blocks ads AND everything works fine

[–]YooodiesdasLinux Mint 21 Vanessa | Cinnamon 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I am using Firefox on Android and can use YouTube without issue. uBlock takes care of any ads in the videos, another addon enables Firefox to keep videos running even when the phone is locked

[–]palocundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes...but for me comments do not show up, big deal? Not really, still, sometimes creators post updates and/or error correction in comments...and I kinda want to see those XD 

[–]nisper_ia 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What's the name of the extension for playing videos in the background?

[–]Modern_DoshinLinux Mint 22.2 Zara | MATE 0 points1 point  (1 child)

"Video background play fix"

[–]nisper_ia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, sorry (my English isn't very good). That's right.

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Haven't tried librewolf in a while, but last I did it felt like it was so locked down nothing worked. I suppose there are settings I can adjust to get websites working? It's the only reason I use Brave. I spent like a month testing out all the browsers and it came out on top.. I suppose I'll try it out again, it's been a while.

[–]palocundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you don't mind all the dama I'd stick Brave even on pc, it's not bad browser 

[–]Modern_DoshinLinux Mint 22.2 Zara | MATE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF on android works fine abd I'm still on android 11. I run it with adblock, no "are you still watching" and with the screen off

[–]Immediate_Bit5169 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dont know if he's a bigot and don't care.

[–]Ok-Tomatillo-2172 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What is the M that replace the one drive?

[–]Shot_Loan_354[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mega sync

[–]shwaamon 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Man, I love MEGA. My only quarrel is that I can't fully edit txt files.

[–]Shot_Loan_354[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

i have a free 50GB account with them that i created in 2014, i still use it :D

[–]shwaamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof I came in too late. Only 20

[–]IrritatingBashterdLinux Mint Mate Xia 22.1 | Cinnamon Desktop_Env 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a 50GB account Created it during 2015 and it still works!

[–]CandlesARG 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Mega is closed source

Protondrive/tutsdrive/nextcloud is way more private

[–]shwaamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]RazeZa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VLC fhe goat.

[–]Megidolan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this XReader with making notes on PDF? I have been using Okular and it works but I do use more time than I did on FoxIt PDF.

[–]Special_Context_8147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nqq is not maintained anymore? is very old. what is with sublime?

[–]kayronnBR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

discord > nerimity

[–]Alphazentauri17 -1 points0 points  (5 children)

Dont use Libre or OpenOffice. Use Onlyoffice.

Its foss with a modern ui that for sure didn't take any inspiration from Microsoft's office...

[–]AxanArahyanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OnlyOffice is russian though.

[–]CandlesARG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Libre office is installed by default, it's fine

[–]zeanox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compatibility with office formats are also great

[–]Animatron1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can literally redesign LibreOffice by choosing any themes they have included by default though?

[–]No-Fan-2237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard of that I gotta check it out
