I just tag them when I make them.

Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

This works fine for me… I had 4 browsers installed last year, so had a variety - like Plex/Overseer/Sonarr opening with Falkon browser and translate with Chrome.

Fundamental error - as usual with Windows news.

These ‘Start Menu Ads’ aren’t rolling out to everyone, I have zero ‘Start Menu Ads’. In fact, I have Zero Ads in my operating system.

Why must Windows news always assume that everyone runs Windows? Isn’t this the main bug with all operating systems?

This is a pretty dumb question - I would always expect a double-click to fullscreen, and a single click to pause/play on any video in any video player.

The decision was probably made many years ago for the very simple reason that clicking specific targets is much more difficult, so enabling people to use scroll wheel and mouse buttons to do things is a very efficient method of control.

There seem to be many ‘sources’. Youtube have a policy where you can show explosions, you can show guns shooting as long as you can’t see the targets - it’s clearly written. Yet several people are demonetised for showing clips related to Ukraine for a start - and YouTube doesn’t respond to requests to explain, it’s a secretive policy that doesn’t follow the written policy.

It’s also very easy to find other videos which would more clearly break the actual rules as they are written. Basically, they do have an agenda - it applies to many similar channels - and they keep very quiet about real reasons for doing so, instead quoting some bullshit rule which isn’t true, and doesn’t apply, both at the same time.

I think YouTube is dying.

Already, I see many of my favourite channels being restricted (one Ukrainian blogger) whilst the completely moronic, yet dangerous conspiracy theory/Flat-Earthers flourish.

Meanwhile, the most common thing we see is the push to sign up and pay them - yet with all the censorship (not simply censored for non-paying customers to allow the advertisements) it is not a viable option.

Thankfully I still use a Desktop - with Firefox and decent extras the actual ads are still not affecting me at all, but YouTube’s policies really are.

They are completely above the law - they don’t need to respect their own TOS (the reasons many people are blocked is more related to some secret narrative, and it goes against their own stated terms).

There is no way to appeal outside YouTube, and good luck with any idea of taking them to court for removing your income stream, or censoring a very useful source of information whilst spamming you with algorithms that treat you like Spongebob, and expect you to watch completely moronic content.

I suggest YouTube is a conspiracy to destroy the world, starting with the world population’s ability to think.

Convince me I’m wrong ;)

Stupid people don’t read anything when they install, then they complain they didn’t ask for this…

It’s very clearly communicated when you install and set it up.

• × Allow Firefox to automatically install updates (recommended)
• ✔ Check for updates but let you choose to install them.
• × Use a background service to install updates.

Doesn’t Ctrl+D do that?

I’d go with ‘session manager’ rather than bookmarking… Sounds like you just have too many tabs to manage easily.

Yup, they should label it ‘Automatic Updates - for Idiots Only’ with a checkbox…

Yet another reason never to use Snaps. Why would you allow Ubuntu to force you to use the bloated Snap package?

If that happens, you should recover from a snapshot… I never experienced this unless the profile folder was damaged or lost.

That’s a Linux (and similar) issue. When Linux updates via it’s package managers it will update Firefox in the background even though it’s open.

This is fundamentally wrong. If you are using Firefox on Linux, you would not update at a time when you’re working - because you KNOW that you have to restart it.

It is considered a ‘User Error’ if they update their system and then complain later that they’re unhappy that they suddenly need to restart something.

Yup, this is called ‘User Error’. User messes it up, User blames the software.

This is a completely ridiculous post.

To compare spyware Chrome with Firefox is also a sign that there’s something lacking in this thinking processes…

It seems very obvious to me that this cannot happen unless you specifically choose to update Firefox. Perhaps you have issues with your operating system and don’t understand what you’re doing?

Windows users usually complain about having a ton of services running in the background, so I’d vote that you’ve opted to allow Firefox to run as a service, so even if you close the browser it’s still running there - and probably set to update automatically too.

After updating, then you have to restart it, and there aren’t ‘all the logins and 2FA’ unless you chose to do that. After I restart Firefox, my session is returned to me - without ‘all the logins and 2FA’ because I didn’t set stupid protection to make it forget everything and log out of everything when it gets restarted.

When I update the system, I do it when I’m not busy working - and that means I choose when to update Firefox.

So it cannot interrupt me without MY permission. Then again, I wouldn’t enable any unattended or automatic updates, my updates are checked when I say they should be, they can be automatically downloaded in the background, but NOTHING gets executed unless I allow it.

I suggest you learn to get a grip and learn to use your computer - or sit back and play patsy and allow the software giants completely control your life while you sit back whinging.

The answer to your question is no, Firefox never freezes on my PC - but I do think you should say ‘on Windows 11’ rather than ‘on PC’ because you’re looking for a response tailored to your ‘PC’ and nobody should assume that all personal computers run Windows 11.

Surely webapp-manager is the way to create webapps on Linux.

Also the extension Pop-Out can pop out any webpage to look like a webapp (but not with it’s own profile etc).

Yup, after seeing a University student trying to point out the Civilian toll, I remember WWII - did everyone forget Dresden?

Laws of war are designed to make it somehow more civilised - but the more we see war, the more we see that it really cannot be ‘more civilised’ and that the ‘fog of war’ is a bitch.
