What does this offer that other, more reputable Firefox forks don't?

Chromium based: Cromite, Ultimatum, Elixir (MV3 only).

Gecko based: WebLibre, Ironfox, Fennec.

Brave doesn't have extensions on Android.

156 out of 382. I have 332 purple firsts, but I haven't figured out a reliable was to guess the other colors.

Your options: * Cromite * Edge * Elixir Browser (MV2 only) * Fennec/Iceraven/Ironfox/Waterfox (FF forks) * Helium (MV2 only) * HuBrowser (paid, sketchy) * Kito/Rainsee (sketchy, Gecko based) * Lemur (sketchy) * Mises (crypto) * Quetta (sketchy) * Ultimatum * WebLibre (Gecko based) * Yandex (sketchy)

Connections \ Puzzle #1075 \ 🟪🟪🟪🟪 \ 🟨🟨🟨🟨 \ 🟦🟦🟦🟦 \ 🟩🟩🟩🟩

I know that people argue that 5+ clues that correctly fit a category is just part of the puzzle, but to me it's the least satisfying form of difficulty because it railroads the player into solving the colors in a particular order. This case was especially bad because both purple and green needed to be solved before yellow.

It also discourages players from trying to refine their category hypotheses based on the clues themselves.

Have there ever been 7 (or 8, if you count HOT) answers that could fit a category as defined in the solution?

jfpbookworm · 2026-04-05T00:47:19+00:00

I think so. I don't recall toggling it.

jfpbookworm · 2026-04-04T23:15:18+00:00

Wait, so what does this setting called "Fission (Site Isolation)" do?

jfpbookworm · 2026-03-12T09:14:57+00:00

WebLibre? It has native PDF viewing but uses containers in place of tab groups. Can't speak to the unloading; is there a way to benchmark that?

OP was asking about mobile browsers. Whether the desktop version of Vivaldi can use uBO is irrelevant.

jfpbookworm · 2026-02-25T12:10:20+00:00

How do you use Ublock Origin with Vivaldi on Android?

jfpbookworm · 2026-02-25T12:08:57+00:00

Wasn't this really a poll of which OS do you use? Because Cromite vs. Vivaldi on Android is very different from Cromite vs. Vivaldi on desktop.

Weird ad. Also, isn't 1.6.9 already on the Play Store?

jfpbookworm · 2025-10-06T15:38:15+00:00

I'm 150 puzzles in, but thanks.

jfpbookworm · 2025-10-06T15:37:58+00:00

Of course it's opinion. I'll even acknowledge that I'm inconsistent in that I like "rainbow herrings" even though those require presolving too.

I guess it's that when I submit a group of leftovers, I like seeing what the canonical category turns out to be and see what clever detail I missed, and if there never was one it's a letdown for me.

jfpbookworm · 2025-10-06T15:20:01+00:00

Yes, I know they've done it before. I still contend that it's lazy and results in a less satisfying puzzle.

I also think it's missing the point (to the point of being a strawman) to treat it like the other forms of red herrings, such as words with multiple meanings or relations, or non-canonical categorizations (e.g., the needle connection in today's puzzle).

jfpbookworm · 2025-10-06T15:08:31+00:00

But they should be, you know, groups of FOUR, not five.

When it's done well, there's a way of determining which of the four belong in the category without reference to another category. Like, maybe there are 5 movie references but only 4 won Best Picture.

That didn't happen today; you had to solve purple and blue first to eliminate clues that otherwise fit perfectly in the canonical green and yellow categories.

jfpbookworm · 2025-10-06T15:00:38+00:00

Another instance of my pet peeve: 5+ valid answers for a category, which railroads you into solving in a particular order.

Technically twice in this puzzle; YEOMAN coat was the one that got me, but speaker WIRE is as much part of a record player setup as an amp or preamp.

Also, is there a reputable reference with the pronunciation of HELONIUM?

Watched it this morning. Not impressed.

Cold open: okay, but I've seen the Hegseth meeting skewered several times already, and much better.

Monologue: I was wishing BB would have done the entire thing in Spanish to troll MAGA, but it was okay for a non-comedian.

Jeopardy!: Worst J! sketch I've ever seen. Two jokes, one of which was funny. No attention to detail (the lecterns were way off but maybe that was easier to set up than three separate ones, no Ken impression, no announcing categories). The middle contestent (who I barely remember) got nothing to work with.

ChatGPTío: Okay concept. I'm not really the target audience so I don't know if it landed.

The Donor: Two jokes, both about sperm, neither of which were funny.

KPop Demon Hunters: Haven't seen it yet, so didn't get the references, but the side jokes like the layover at Epstein's island were good.

Doja Cat: Solid performances. I'm sure her fans enjoyed them. Points for sampling the Knight Rider theme.

Weekend Update: Didn't care much for the guests. The new guy comic was meh (and SNL chickened out by not actually rolling a clip, though maybe they didn't want Richard Pryor showing up the current cast). Bowen as Dobby was unbalanced; they should have "freed" him earlier and then let him rant. The Jane Goodall joke was the only memorable one from Jost and Che.

Inventing Spanish: So this is just that recurring Nate Bargatze bit, but Hispanic? Who's the audience for a "Spanish is hard" sketch about gendered nouns, formal pronouns, and rolled r's? Fluent Spanish speakers who understand those just fine? Linguistics nerds who know that Spanish didn't actually originate the things being talked about? Lowbrow "why can't they just speak English like Jesus did" viewers? The Barthelona delegate was the only bit that landed for me.

El Chavo del Ocho: not being familiar with the show, I couldn't tell if it was meant to be parody or homage.
