    I am from Germany and it is just sad how many people use these apps from shit companies without thinking, when suitable alternatives exist everywhere. Just use Firefox, it will work for 99,9% without any flaw. I would love to ditch WhatsApp, but could only convinge a few people to change to Signal. It is as easy as downloading a new app to prevent supporting Meta, but that's too much effort for many 😞

    Actually as much as I’d love to use Firefox all the time, there are many times it won’t work properly at all. This isn’t entirely Mozilla’s fault, but it is the case.

      I removed all adblock extensions a while ago, and I am now running with the built in adblock alone. It works great for me. Also, it won't be deprecated: https://vivaldi.com/blog/manifest-v3-update-vivaldi-is-future-proofed-with-its-built-in-functionality/

      Ahh, didn't look into that, I'll have to check if I can remove some redundant addons.

      thanks

        Hey, can you tell a little bit about your stack, what apps and services do you use? Also on phone?
        I guess in a decade you could work that out pretty well.

        Your options for phones come down to linux phones (which I haven't heard great things about) and pixels ironically.

        Apple phones make a similar number of calls to google services as android phones simply because of how much google runs.

            If you self-host Bitwarden you can also get the paid tier features

            I pay for bitwarden exclusively to encourage development.
            Unlike with lastpass which suddenly decided you weren't allowed more than X number of devices unless you paid them money.

                At large organizations you're generally not allowed to download much of anything without it passing through IT security and management first. If it's a no, it will probably stay a no.

                In your experience, what large organization restricts this? I've worked at a few SaaS companies and a FAANG that always gave us full install rights and browser choice. Granted we are on the software side, but I haven't experienced this at all.

                  I think the Brave CEO recently said some Trumpy shit (in case you're at all curious for the downvoting).

                  Honestly, hadn't logged in for a few days, so didn't even know I was severely downvoted. Leaving Reddit has helped me not scroll through every day for hours on end on Lemmee.

                  And good to know about the Brave CEO thing. I legit cannot keep up with everything.

                    The main issue I have with Firefox is that some pdfs have this side-by-side layout (especially rpg pdfs) that Firefox respects and I keep having to turn it off every time I load a new one. Chrome doesn't respect it and shows it a page at a time like I want. My eyes don't work too good so side by side the text is just too small.

                    Interesting, funny enough I have sorta the opposite problem using Firefox for PDFs: I like the side by side view of two pages and Firefox always loads books with single pages, zoomed way too far in for my taste. Have you tried it for PDFs recently? It's a new way of reading them for me, and I wonder if they've changed it since you used it last.

                      Yeah, it's still set as my default for handling PDFs, so I keep opening them in there and then copying the address over to chrome by hand because I'm too lazy to go find the default app settings.

                        I don't like my chances of swaying IT. The organisation is too big and I'll get told I should be using Edge which is the only officially supported browser.

                        Yeah, that's true.
