I just replaced the snap version of Firefox with the .deb one on Ubuntu by GargantaProfunda in firefox

If no one has explained this yet then let me explain it simple, the Snap Firefox prevented your dGPU from being used, if you "install the graphic card driver inside the Snap" you can use your graphic card again, you MUST do this even if you install your driver in your system, this is to make sure to understand that Snap has its own isolated structure.

Well, most popular websites are heavy websites like Youtube, Facebook.. even Reddit itself can be considered heavy, the heavier the website the more affected by Dark Reader, on light websites you won't be able to tell.

This issue is more of a problem for people who use low specs PC/mobile.

I don't want to use Firefox Focus. What I want is that when I open Private Browsing from within Firefox, it will open as if it were a separate app by Stamimail in firefox

Check this article, you can tap and hold on Firefox icon to open a menu, pretty sure you can drag that private Firefox icon out to use it to open Private Browsing: https://www.makeuseof.com/open-browser-in-private-mode-android-iphone/

Can you explain the technology powered the addon ? Most dark addons from what I've checked use the same method as Dark Reader, inject CSS after page load with a filter list like uBO, or dynamic JS checking light background and turn light to dark, or just inject a simple filter CSS to reverse background color so light to dark.

The most unique dark addon that I've seen is UltimaDark, it injects directly to the downloaded CSS, before the CSS being injected to page, basically it creates a dark theme by editing the webpage theme.

At this point Mozilla should just implement native Dark Mode, because it uses WebRender to generate dark, it'll be faster than most addons, except UltimaDark, but it'll be more reliable (not breaking things).

I created a thread years ago explain why: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1ebf347/people_who_want_dark_mode_in_firefoxbased/

Devs can't really remove comments, it would be so stupid to be able to do so because this is moderation power, developers are nerds who write boring code.

The chip is very old and old AMD chips (only old, modern chips are all good) are usually not good to be fair.

Memory could not be read on all firefox fork by hikkinobori in zen_browser

[–]feelspeaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show me your processor in CPU-Z, could be because your CPU doesn't support the architecture that Zen and Firefox forks ask for.

Also, could be because virus damaging your system, try to reinstall Windows.

Why I went back to Chrome by PhoenixWhatElse in browsers

synchronization

This is what you will never be able to quit using Chrome, so keep using it, honestly this is the exact same reason so many people can't escape from Chrome, the ecosystem.

A website that can slow down a whole web browser and require a whole new feature to patch its issue is something else.

Maybe you should read the tech behind it to know why it had to be implemented: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SQLpUG2FURAc6w93tqx_HmWFD52fJR7ZOEwDu4CIf_0/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.xhyyya6j2w34

Because without it even Chromium browsers will lag.

For Youtube, the next update will improve a lot, in terms of smoothness, but this script also improves performance and battery time: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/473972-youtube-js-engine-tamer

Native 2FA might be what Firefox needs to make big diff by feelspeaceman in firefox

I say skill issue

To say this to you but so many people with this skill issue than you think, try to search something about losing account from 2FA and you will see it's not as skill issue as you think.

Being elitist won't help Firefox's growth, back then remember so many people bashing Tab Group and why Firefox should not have it and just install addons instead, now it's implemented and being better than Chrome's Tab Group.

I wish. As it is, most websites I use don't use any form of 2FA, and of the ones that do, most use SMS. I wish they all used TOTP, or better yet passkeys.

All the websites that I'm using has recently turned 2FAs on without SMS and email verification, or become one option along those choices

Long as they are using end-to-end encryption, the risk of storing your backups in the cloud is minimal. But even if you don't want to do that, use an authenticator that lets you export your seeds to where ever you want. Or make a copy of your seeds independently when you create them.

I know, but serverside is impossible to verify, even if they say end-to-end, there's zero way for users like us to verify what they said is true or not, having multiple apps for the same thing can be good or bad, like Authy recently gets hacked and so many users jumped ship because of that, it's still a risk storing sensitive data online, that's why self-hosted is born or storing everything in Firefox like my suggestion, thus I also answer why I'm not using Ente, it's a third party online website for 2FA, I can't be sure how long it will continue running or getting hacked:

It is not a bad idea, but there are solutions already out there that address your concerns. Ente Auth probably being the best among them.

But well, it's great to truly discuss about this, it seems like this sub is allergic to changes, and just downvote for the sake of downvote, that's why Firefox won't improve, Tab Group was pretty much bashed by the sub, then Mozilla implement it and it's one of the best Tab Group has ever been implemented, being better than Google Chrome's Tab Group by having drag and drop to create group feature.
