@koyuchan@koyu.space @Sphinx@qoto.org I don't see the point of all these Youtube extensions, the site is awful and I don't even wanna bother fixing it. Just like use invidious or something.

@SuperDicq @Sphinx well, I like to have everything synced on all my devices so I still use Chrome and YouTube

@SuperDicq @Sphinx also let's face it: Webkit and Gecko have become awful over the years

@koyuchan@koyu.space @Sphinx@qoto.org I think Gecko has become awful because of Chrome. They are kinda forced to implement all this garbage or half of the sites will no longer work in Firefox: see Palemoon which uses a non-shit version of Gecko.

@SuperDicq @Sphinx exactly. It's a double-edged sword and I have turned off all the ways Google is tracking me, even the things that are only reachable through very internal URLs. In the end there's no way around Google if you browse the web unless they go bankrupt or something. I hope the EU one day decides to kill off all of the ten biggest corperations from the internet.

@koyuchan@koyu.space @Sphinx@qoto.org Unless you wanna go bankrupt? I do not use any Google services outside of Youtube through Invidious and I'm doing fine for myself.

@SuperDicq @koyuchan

Solution: LibreWolf browser

@Sphinx@qoto.org @koyuchan@koyu.space LibreWolf still uses the modern version of Gecko.

@Sphinx @SuperDicq I wish LibreWolf was an alternative. Really. The problem is that I cannot use free software all around my software stack, because I am using what works and free software sometimes sucks.

@koyuchan@koyu.space @Sphinx@qoto.org I started my own company specifically to run a 100% free software stack.

@SuperDicq @Sphinx good luck. The web is dead. Use Gemini.

@SuperDicq @Sphinx also I plan to actually sell Linux computers to the masses. What I do in my freetime is what I do. I'm running too much software.

@koyuchan

Reminds me of system76.
https://system76.com/

@SuperDicq

@Sphinx @SuperDicq literally that, but actually shipping computers to Europe while trying to be as Linux-compatible and vanilla as possible

@Sphinx @SuperDicq system76 sucks in two ways: they still ship non-free software bundled with their computers and are too american to be useful for anyone else on the world

@koyuchan@koyu.space @Sphinx@qoto.org I went out of my way to acquire Libreboot compatible hardware. These computers I use for all my work.

I do secretly have a gaming pc that runs some proprietary software tho. But as that is only for entertainment and free time so I'm ok with it. I know I can live off 100% free software.

@koyuchan

LibreWolf auto-update sucks, other than that, so far so good.

@SuperDicq

@Sphinx@qoto.org @koyuchan@koyu.space I hate auto-update anyway. Why can't browsers just be normal and update using the package manager like all the other software on my computer?

@Sphinx @koyuchan @SuperDicq There is auto-update on LibreWolf?

@lucas

I mean "sucks" for there is no directly update.
How do you update your LibreWolf?

@koyuchan @SuperDicq

@koyuchan@koyu.space @Sphinx@qoto.org Which also conveniently let's Google know what you're watching and are interested in.

@SuperDicq @Sphinx that's the problem. If you want all websites to work well you use Chrome. Google literally broke the web and writing a browser engine from scratch is basically hell.
