For duplicates: Czkawka. Also, you get a gold ⭐ if you can figure out how to pronounce it πŸ˜‰

Latest update to LibreWolf 138.0.1-1 may have broken things. Here is a workaround. (lemmy.ml)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/29061214

Latest update to LibreWolf changed it's user agent string and it's causing websites to freak out. For example amazon will default you to a mobile website and Youtube music is having issues. To make matters worse if you try to download an extension to change the user agent string, it won't let you and tell you to download Firefox. You'll need to manually override the user agent string by going into about:config. You'll need to add general.useragent.override string into config. > > > Here is how you can do that: > https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/how-to-change-your-user-agent/firefox > > I changed my user agent string to following and problem went away. > > > Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:138.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/138.0

I have uBlock and Canvas Blocker off, the little shield thingy off, my VPN off, and Autoplay allowed, but still cannot play videos on bandcamp. Anyone else having this problem?

It would be nice if Leta had tabs for images, videos, etc.

StartPage should be !sp.

This is unfortunately the same type of experience I've had with SearXNG. πŸ™

I haven't really experienced a worsening of DDG, and this is a bit off topic, perhaps, butβ€”

I have yet to find a better alternative to Google's video search. Google Books also remains valuable in many ways, since it will give you different "search inside the book"-type search results than the Internet Archive will (and they also have some books that IA does not).

What's annoying to me is that StartPage, which is supposed to have Google search results, and by and large does, does not give the same video results as Google (go ahead, try it). It would also be nice to have an Invidious or FreeTube type front end for Google Books, and I believe there used to be something like that, but not any longer.

Some Google products still have definite value, it's just important that they derive no benefit from us using them.

Any opinions about Filen? (filen.io)
 

While I'm waiting for the Linux desktop client for Proton Drive . . . does anyone have any experience with Filen?

Replacement for Roost "smart batteries?" (lemmy.ml)
 

Up until recently there used to be these special batteries you could put in your fire/smoke/CO alarm that would contact you on your smartphone if the alarms went off while you were away.

They don't make them anymore, and if you want anything equivalent, it seems like you have to buy into an entire "smart home control system" or whatever they're called, and I don't need or want that.

It doesn't have to be a battery, but is there some way I can set up my alarms to contact me without surrendering all my privacy? The alarms I have now also aren't hard-wired into the house, which could present a problem, but that's why the Roost batteries were so nice!

Is there an open source, privacy friendly universal package tracking app? (lemmy.ml)
 

Asking because USPS's frequently doesn't work.

What search engine(s) besides DuckDuck have !bangs? (lemmy.ml)
 

SearXNG does, I think...any others? Looking around for other engines that aren't US-based, though I guess DDG is still considered acceptable for LibreWolf's default engine. Bangs are incredibly useful!

Change logo on "about:logo" page? (lemmy.ml)
 

I was able to change the new tab favicon on LibreWolf with CSS:

/newtab favicon/ .tab-icon-image[src="chrome://branding/content/icon32.png"] { content: url("librewolf-NO8X71.png") !important; }

But I'd also like to be able to change the logo that appears on the "about:logo" page (looks like lemmy.world's CSS page is locked for now, so I'm asking here). Anyone know how to do this?

I kiped the logo from LibreWolf's reddit page, it's by u/NO8X71; tell me it's not the coolest thing you've ever seen! Wish I'd done it.

New tab page looks different after update (lemmy.ml)
 

The link squares are smaller, and the grid of all the shortcuts has been moved down so that there's a big gap at the top and the page scrolls.

Cozy.io as a replacement for Proton Drive? (lemmy.ml)
 

Joan Westenberg mentioned this in her "Trump-proof tech stack" post; anyone have any experience with this? It says it's open source, self-hostable, and based in France.

Unfortunate Andy Yen comments aside, a big plus is that cozy actually has a Linux desktop client (!), unlike Proton.
