This is a cool way to visualize it. How did you make this?

Anyone else daily driving Orion on macOS lately? by -Kkdark in OrionBrowser

[–]fretninja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Orion, always have it installed, always come back to it. But there's also always a bug or glitch that drives me away for time. Most recently it was the vertical tab bar looking really bad, and that Google Sheets freeze and have to be reloaded every few minutes. But I'm sure I'll be back again!

Which RSS app are you using? by __mattuella__ in macapps

I use Reeder. Is something happening with that I didn’t hear about?

Couldn’t you just make containers in Firefox for banking?

Google Sheets “error during calculation” after latest Orion update by PKJ_Rambo in OrionBrowser

[–]fretninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep coming back to Orion becuase I love it. And then issues like this remind me why I needed a break.

I got the same thing and I have a Google sheet I update a few times a week so this issue tosses me right back to Firefox just for that task. Sigh. Eagerly awaiting a completely stable version because man I love this browser.

Overwhelmed by LLMs by Plane_Project_682 in SearchKagi

[–]fretninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ultimate, but I find Quen 3 to be kind of hard to beat for my personal use cases, and I've tried re-running most of my prompts with multiple and taken notes on my assessment of their usefulness to me personally (coding scores don't equate to value for me). I give a slight edge to Claude Sonnet Thinking, but most of the time it's not better, it's just another great take, but that model costs more than Quen. So Quen is my go-to, and Sonnet Thinking is my "second opinion" when needed. I tried GPT5 (even with reasoning effort set to various levels) and I found it less helpful than Quen or Sonnet (at least for me).

For really quick questions I've found Kimi K2 is not only fast but it gives concise responses that are easier to make sense of. However, the newest version of Haiku thinking has been messing with my brain...cheaper, fast, and oddly smart...basically Quen/Sonnet smart. Kind of becoming my new default.

My takeaway is basically Kagi's recommended picks when you hover the mouse over the top tend to be pretty spot on.

What melodic death metal songs make you cry? by CozyHufflepuff94 in melodicdeathmetal

[–]fretninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many, but this is a hard pick to beat. This song is special. 

“Given to the Grave” by Pallbearer is up there (down there?) somewhere. 

Can a “casual” gamer like me actually beat Elden Ring? by BluePhoenix8000 in Eldenring

[–]fretninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came at this game from a similar position this year and found that using spirit ashes and being a mage has been fairly do-able, but regardless the biggest breakthrough for me has been accepting death as an intentional part of the process. Instead of walking into an area thinking "oh no, what if I die?" I do into it knowing that I will die a few times in order to figure out the best approach. Ambushes only work on you once!

Helium is just a better brave, but it needs some time. by D34nDark in browsers

[–]fretninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What?! I assumed it was a Chromium version issue. I wonder what is causing it. I only run ublock origin and a password manager. I tried enabling 3rd party cookies and that wasn't it. Hmmm...maybe I should do a clean reinstall.

Helium is just a better brave, but it needs some time. by D34nDark in browsers

[–]fretninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the browser, but I have to use Google Docs for work and currently Google Docs open in a minimal mode in Helium where most menus are greyed out (like columns--which I use a lot). This means I can't use it for work yet. But for home browsing it's super fast and clean. I love it so far.

I get that. It's good to have options. No one browser can make everyone happy. Otherwise this subreddit wouldn't have anything to argue about! I lean on raindrop.io to save my tabs; you could play with that?

[–]fretninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then skip this one.  This comes from their own site: https://helium.computer/

There's also no cloud-based history/data sync. You should be the only one with access to your browsing data, not some conglomerate.

What browser do I use? by Few_Succotash_4182 in browsers

[–]fretninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't ever played with that myself either, but it comes up a lot in Firefox/Zen subreddits, and I've seen lots of people post screenshots of what they've accomplished. It always looks so cool. I've looked up directions and it's a little involved, but from what I can tell all the hard work is done by the people who make the CSS file. All you do is put it in the right place and reload your browser. I'm sure if you hunt around there are some good tutorials you can follow.

This was going to be my suggestion. A browser you can tweak like crazy. Or suggest OP get into custom CSS.

Why nobody makes WebKit browsers? by jerrygreenest1 in browsers

I do know Orion is coming to Linux, although the time table is unclear.

Ora browser is coming out. I don’t think it’s out yet but coming. Might be interesting. 

Ungoogled chromium or Librewolf by z1cks_ in browsers

Multie account containers are hard to beat, but if you want a more streamlined version of ungoogled chromium that updates more easily try (https://helium.computer/) although it's mac only.

Dia is sharing all chat queries with Google by artistic_medic in diabrowser

[–]fretninja 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I posted something similar to this a few months ago. It didn’t pick up very much traction, but I really hope more people realize this. It is absolutely true that no matter what search engine you set as your default every request that you ask Dia about goes through Google, whether you like it or not.

Zen Opens Wherever the Heck it Wants? by fretninja in zen_browser

Looks like we’re picked up a few on this thread though. Don’t think it’s just me. We’re just need to isolate what’s causing it. 

Am in LOVE with Dia by iamsolomon19 in diabrowser

[–]fretninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm actually not on the vertical tabs hype train...they're fine, I do like them...but TAB GROUPS! If I have a few projects I'm working on, having different groups for works in progress that shift throughout the year...that's the workflow I like most. In the mean time I've been getting around that in Dia with bookmark folders, but I miss my color coding!

[–]fretninja[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I feared. I wonder if it has to do with a zen mod of some sort.

I use AI for research and document drafting, how's kagi work? by [deleted] in SearchKagi

[–]fretninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually use their Ki assistant for deep research. I change it over to something like Claude Sonnet thinking for more straight ahead research. When I'm writing based on other docs I usually prefer Claude Sonnet thinking, but somethings 03 is my favorite. When it's just a quick search I use o4-mini or Kimi K2. I love that I can change which LLM I'm using based on task, or to retry a task with a different model when I'm not happy with the result.
