Good quote!

(Screen capture above at Todon.nl, it is the same here at Qoto.org too -- See This new screenshot with a NEW TooT being written below. )

And while looking around at the Mozilla Extensions pages --> I ended up discovering a NEW one.

I didn't think it was possible to enhance the great User Experience I am having with AWI here at Todon.nl and at Qoto.org; the wonderful usage of my wide screen in the laptop.

Turns Out an excellent thing CAN get Better -- as demonstrated by this post. What's NEW ? Notice the two columns now expanded even wider? AND Better yet --> a Nice and BIG TooT Editor window, placed right under the Post I intend to reply to?

This is unreal. Love it! See Collapsed Mastodon extension for Firefox at :

OP at : https://freespeechextremist.com/objects/82bf22b8-1862-43b8-9b7e-b24d89b3a2d9

A user who just moved to a very active instance, signaling her reasons. Got a few boosts and big welcome from her new instance locals.

Well done, @Oxana ! 😉

Seen on #fediverse just now.

A video complements the message.

Just discovered this.

A new extension (add-on) for Firefox browsers that allows *easily sharing content* from all those web sites that have the *Twitter share* buttons.

Extension replaces it with new Toot Share button; you configure which Instance to use.

Hit share and it's on #Fediverse -- neat, simple, fast, cool.

Thumbs up, nice idea.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/halcyon-share/

"Halcyon Share can replace Twitter Tweet buttons with Mastodon Toot buttons redirecting to a Halcyon instance which can be freely chosen by the user. It can also keep the Tweet button but make it smaller and add a Toot button next to it.

Halcyon is a open source webclient for Mastodon which makes it easier to use and more beautiful. Halcyon is hosted by many different people on independent servers, therefore no domain for the redirect is hardcoded."

2. Whalebird also can run absolutely FULL screen by pressing the F11 key, like happens with a browser.

3. VERY UNIQUE -- Whalebird allows you to very eaily resize Column widths. There's a little handle, near the center of the vertical bar separating the two panels, and grabbing that and holding down muse key allows you to drag and resize in eithe direction, as you see fit.

Whalebird could be a very effective reader for busy timelines like the Home and Federated feeds (continued)

The Admins at those two (Qoto.org and Todon.NL) have made customizations to the AWI default configs, and resulted in a very satisfying screen layout.

Here's an example - from Qoto.org.

Example 2 shows a more common, less optimal AWI web client with wasted space at the right side -- and that cannot be used at all.

Column width is quite narrow, resulting in less readability.

When phones were phones. Batteries, lasted for days. You did not get spied and tracked by your must have apps.

Cell phones don't necessarily have to be #Evil devices.

Calvin and Hobbs, the best.

Like him or not, President Putin is an intelligent and competent leader. His response, of the cuff, non-scripted to the BBC reporter is a nice example of Statemanship. Not many people with this level of skill around, unfortunately. Bozos dominating in many places. #xp #Russia #UK

#ShakespeareSunday Early global warming warning from the Bard?
'... the spring, the summer,
The chilling autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries and the mazed world
By their increase, now knows not which is which.'
