People need to learn to never run untrusted code without safety measures like virtualization, containerization, sandboxing/jailing, etc. Untrusted code can include executables, external packages (pip, npm, cargo, etc) and also code/commands created by LLMs, etc.
I think Google gained more users with its aggressive advertising campaign than with its speed (except for power users). If someone used a Google product like search, email or youtube in a non-google browser, Google would always show an ad encouraging them to switch to Chrome.
Shorts are normal videos too, so you can view them in the normal player.
I have a redirect rule that redirects https://www.youtube.com/shorts/<video-id> to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<video-id>
Except when it's not implemented properly and it breaks other workflows. For example, if it only shows a button (not a link or a tag) and copies the link to the clipboard via JavaScript, consider this scenario: I want to send this "link" to my other computer using Firefox's built-in Send Page to Device feature. I have to click Share, click the copy to clipboard button, open a new page, paste the URL, and only then can I share it.
If the state were stored in the URL, I could do it in two steps: open context menu -> Send Page to Device, and I'm done.
Also, it doesn't work on Busybox either (e.g. on Alpine Linux).
And of course it works when I change only the user-agent to windows.
In this case, they may display a message like: 'This page is intended for USA visitors only. Our services do not operate outside the USA.', but no, they say you are banned because just...
I visited albertsons.com out of curiosity, but I was instantly banned. Even using an unmodified Chromium browser, I couldn't access the site. It's ridiculous what's happening on the internet today.
The error: ``` Access denied Error 16 www.albertsons.com 2025-01-03 09:30:00 UTC What happened? This request was blocked by our security service Your IP: xxx Proxy IP: xxx (ID xxx) Incident ID: XXX Powered by Imperva ```
Basically, you need to create a `user.js` file in the root folder of your profile, you can find/open the profile folder using about:profiles or about:support (default path is `~/.mozilla/firefox/${profile-name}/user.js`). You can sync it however you like, e.g. upload it to your dotfiles repo and symlink with stow, etc.
The syntax is: user_pref("dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled", false); // Disable Privacy-Preserving Attribution
You can find a lot of examples and "documentation" on https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js
You can define a keyword for this, eg. ctrl+l - `ks` (kill sticky) - enter. It has some backwards because you still can't search by name and you have to remember the keyword and there is no auto-complete, but once muscle memory gets used to it, it works pretty well. I use keywords for bang searches (!keyword search term) and bookmarklets too.

You can search across tabs using the tab search in the top right corner though (an arrow pointing down).
Which uses the same broken stuff, so you can't actually search. Check this ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1479858
Btw, the arrow icon cannot be moved from the tabs bar, annoying because I completely hide this bar, but sometimes it would be useful to have this menu.
Discord keeps adding new crap and I always have to update my usercss to hide that crap. I mostly use it from a browser, so it's easy to run custom css/scripts, but the official client can be patched with e.g. OpenAsar[1].
A short (incomplete) list of my git history from the past 1 year: - May 15 2023 Remove activities ("Discord Birthday" ;)) - May 1 2023 Remove nitro super reaction - Apr 9 2023 Remove nitro ads - Dec 22 2022 Remove new features popup - Dec 22 2022 Remove snows giving seasonal event - Sep 5 2022 Remove floating unread indicator - Aug 31 2022 Remove new member badge
In addition, it would be nice to create a separate RSS feed for the shorts and of course remove them from the original. In the early days it was easy to filter out because of the #short tag, but nowadays it's not mandatory in the title.
Ru -> Run (what is "run"? It's that little dialog box from Windows 3.1 where you can type in an executable to run)
This is the best. It opens immediately, no animations, ads, etc. I have a .bin folder in my home dir with full off shortcuts, this folder added to the $PATH so I just need to type my shortcuts to open any app.
The perfect keyboard already exists[1] and it also has a caps lock key[2].

I use Temporary containers heavily and the MAC sync is also enabled but I never see anything like this. Sometimes 1-2 container it remains but I can delete it manually. Maybe I'm lucky with this.
In temporary containers you can set up what should happen on different actions (left click, ctrl+click, etc) and different domains.
