I don't know how, but somehow you can still access RSS feeds for individual channels (despite the company deliberately breaking subscription RSS feeds). That way you can decide what happens when someone you're interested in following uploads something; plenty of RSS readers still exist, and there's also options like throwing the RSS feed at flexget and using yt-dlp to download the files automatically.

slidebite posted:I never thought of copy/pasting into a private window. It's so obvious, but I am oblivious lol Obviously it does nothing if you, like me, have disabled Firefox's memory caching and instead use file caching because your filesystem has a much better caching implementation.

actionjackson posted:I have a login site with my login name and password saved, but the autofill only let's me fill in my password, not my login name. Is there any way to fix this? I recommend everyone disable autofill and make sure to set a primary password (as this also encrypts the files on-disk when Firefox isn't open).

However, I'll give credit where it's due: Mullvad has done things right, and will even take completely anonymous paper money sent through the mail, if you care about privacy that much.

If you wanna look up the technical details of the Chromium-based browsers losing the ability to effective adblock, it's that Manifest V3 for WebExtensions in Chromium-based browsers is removing/blocking WebRequests. WebRequests are the API that's the killer feature that uBlock Origin takes advantage of to apply both network-level blocks and DOM element filters on a per-domain basis. Without it, it's very hard to do effective blocking of certain kinds of ads - which, of course, is why Alphabet is forcing it to be removed. The majority of their income is from Google AdSense - with most of everything they do being a way to herd people towards being products for them to sell to other companies. Firefox, being one of the few alternative engines to Chromium, is well-situated to try and differentiate itself - whereas companies that use Chromium for a product (see: Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi) will have to either decide to work together or each come up with their own (incompatible?) ways to re-implement WebRequests. Apples Safari will presumably be fine too, but I've no clue what they're up to (since my 2012 Macbook Pro doesn't get software updates, despite still working just fine).

I'm sticking with the ESR version of Firefox for the foreseeable future.

Back before XUL got deprecated, I had an addon that saved a copy of bookmarks as a single file on the disk - which was rather nice, as even then link-rot was a phenomenon. I'd completely forgotten about this, until a few minutes ago when I randomly remembered, and found this - which, if configured properly, does the same. Better yet, this can save to a WebDAV server, which I don't think the old extension could do.

I posted this earlier, but think it's worth mentioning again: SingleFile will let you configure the add-on to save a copy of a webpage as a single file when you bookmark it, and optionally it can also rewrite bookmarks to point to that file if it's hosted on WebDAV or web-accessible object storage with the original URI saved in the meta-data. I no longer have too many tabs, just a bunch of old bookmarks that I'm slowly working my way through.
