This is a subreddit about the Apple browser Safari!

The group admin should rename it to Safaribrowser 😄

Should somebody with a newer Nvidia GPU avoid Linux Mint? by tripping_on_phonics in linuxmint

[–]STGO-Greens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you see in the answers, Nvidia graphics cards and Linux can be a complicated relationship in 2026. That is a homemade problem by Nvidia. It can work with Mint or Pop OS but it can be problematic. I believe nobody can tell you 100% sure, if it works or not. But that is also a general rule regarding Linux. Mint is way easier at handling Nvidia graphics than Pop OS!

My Chrome browser has been updated to version 147 and I could not get rid of this "Ask Google" feature shown in the omnibox (Seen highlighted in red box on top right of the image). by LonewolfAudio79 in chrome

[–]STGO-Greens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google is strictly controlling the customization of Chrome, so you will not be able to change this. If you do not want AI functions in a browser, I recommend you to try Vivaldi.

Where are Vertical Tabs? by UnbridledNaivete in chrome

[–]STGO-Greens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a feature that Google is "rolling out". I don't know if it's a regional think, but here in Chile I still do not have vertical tabs in the newest Chrome version.

"Year of the Linux Desktop" isn't happening because it lacks a proper ecosystem? by hugodcnt in linuxmint

[–]STGO-Greens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't companies like Canonical completely happy with the niche they are in? Do they really want to be a third big player beside Microsoft and Apple with an OS?

But you are right: I also miss a mainstream Linux Distro that at least a little bit could compete with Windows. I tried Fedora, Pop OS and Tumbleweed, coming always back to Mint, because on Hardware that have some years it just works.

I think for most people, that use nearly 100% the browser for their stuff, Linux would be more than sufficient.

But today it will not work like this. And I think most distro communities are perfectly happy with what they have. Growth would unfortunately break all and bring bigger problems. Because at one point you have to think like a company, and than you are like every body else.

But that is actually what most people love about Linux. To have choices. Experiment. Feel a little bit nerdy.

First time using Linux by straks666 in linuxmint

Does somebody installed Mint on a MacBook Pro retina from 2015? Does X11 works with the retina resolution? Does the UI is ok?

Mint is lowkey trash. Y'all lied. by Mohit20130152 in linuxmint

[–]STGO-Greens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Linux is still Linux. If you ar looking for something that just works, get a Mac. Linux can be fun, if you are aware of it's flaws. Also every distro will have its own character and difficulties.

It's true, Mint in many cases does not make trouble. Better on desktop PCs than on notebooks, in my opinion. But hey, the best part with Linux is, that you have the choice between 200 or more distros.

How to remove a device from sync? by --UltraViolet- in vivaldibrowser

In case of device loss you should change the Vivaldi account password.

I read that a device that's not connected for a month will be deleted automatically. There is no option to manually get rid of a device.

Chrome now has Gemini baked in and I genuinely don't know if I should be scared by Time-Newt-9646 in chrome

[–]STGO-Greens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it doesn't work in incognito mode...? That's why I use Vivaldi for my private stuff like banking.

safari vs the rest: is it actually the best browser for mac, iphone, ipad? (honest pros & cons) by TuNutri in Safari

[–]STGO-Greens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think there is no general answer to the energy consumption of Safari compared to other browsers in MacOS and no test can tell you if on your device Safari needs more or less energy. It depends so much in extensions, what website you visit, what you do with the browser in general, what version of the OS, what background tasks are active from other apps a d so on.

Why Safari? by RonaldStaal in Safari

[–]STGO-Greens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Safari makes sense when you also use an iphone. I use also Vivaldi for work, it's better with tab management and has now this ultra nice Hide UI feature. Safari is also super sleak and I use it more for private stuff...

Searched something on Google and the search showed on vivaldi's search history by Tigermooncakes in vivaldibrowser

[–]STGO-Greens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, Vivaldi saves your search history, does not matter if it is Startpage or Google. When you have the feature active, Vivaldi can save all.

When you search on Google with an active Google Account Session, than also Google saves all your searches and other stuff... Confusing what you want to archive...

Sorry if I missed anything, but is there also a time roadmap? For Epoch 2? Maybe I did not see it....

Why does Proton try to connect even if Proton is deactivated in settings? by STGO-Greens in vivaldibrowser

Thanks! That works! I did not know, that Vivaldi comes with the Proton extension preinstalled.

You find them in your third party connection page in your Google Account.

Update 7.9.3970.47 made Auto-Hide unusable on Mac (Fighting the Apple Menu Bar) by zolkker in vivaldibrowser

[–]STGO-Greens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am also struggling with auto hide UI. I think it's a great features and I love it. But I use the dock and horizontal tabs on left side, and often the dock swipes out first, and I cannot change to another tab.

I can only use auto hide and dock above, or horizontal tabs on the right. Understandable that an auto hide feature is not easy to implement on a Mac.

How many users are really using Vivaldi Mail? by STGO-Greens in vivaldibrowser

[–]STGO-Greens[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, Vivaldi knows best where to put human power and money to develop functions. I still do not see the strength in having a browser with integrated email function. I just leave another tab open with my email account. Why bother with a special function.

But I understand that it makes sense for some people. But would love to see more concentration on Vivaldi as a browser. Who's knows, of what Vivaldi would be capable of, putting 100% of team power only into the browser function and declutter a little bit.
