MagneticFusion, in I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser?

Why not just base Chromium?

hperrin,

I don’t like Google trackers.

intensely_human,

You don’t want google tracking you while you test your website? Why not?

darklukee,

Does vanilla Chromium have Google trackers?

hperrin, (edited )

Yes. www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/

But not nearly as many tracking mechanisms as Chrome, because it lacks API keys for some services. By default, it will still send the URL of every page you visit to Google, though. At least that’s my understanding, reading their privacy policy.

But it also doesn’t update itself, doesn’t seem to have a working Mac build (the one on their website doesn’t launch), and doesn’t sync (which I can live without, but end-to-end encrypted sync is nice).

darklukee,

Thanks!

MagneticFusion,

ungoogled chromium then

hperrin,

Yeah, this is a contender. No Windows build and no sync are the downsides, but neither is a deal breaker, since I’m only testing with it, and I code on Linux and Mac.

jiberish,

If you’re using Windows, Edge is an option. You already have the Microsoft telemetry watching you regardless of using Edge, so you might as well use it if you need chrome for testing or a specific website.

MagneticFusion,

This

hperrin,

I try as hard as I can to never boot into Windows. The only time I ever do is to build a Windows version of one of my desktop apps.

theKalash, in What cooking skills are so difficult that they border on sorcery?

The pizza dough twirling thing.

lalo,

Fun fact: acrobatics are made with lower hydration dough.

If you want dough with crispy outside and soft inside you’re looking for a 65-70% hydration. Acrobatics with this will rip it apart. To open a higher hydration dough you use this technique: youtu.be/xzbW8CZx538

davetansley, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

If, like me, you do a lot of Chromecasting from your browser, you’ll want to install fx_cast. You need to do a bit of manual installation to get it running, but it works great when you do.

tenchiken,

Brilliant! This is the one thing that’s been a thorn in my conversion.

Appreciate the post!

Thorny_Insight, in What is your ideal Oreo dippage time? (Or your biscuit or cookie of choice.)

In Finland we have a “local Oreo” called Domino. Oreo always had this mythical reputation as a famous american cookie almost no one had tasted. Then Oreos came to the stores here for the first time so I naturally bought a pack to try them out. I never bought another one. Those are incredibly dry and dull tasting compared to the Domino cookies I’m used to.

intensely_human,

That’s why we’re talking about dipping them

Mr_Blott,

Yeah in the UK, Oreos are the lowest common denominator too. You’d have to finish the custard creams, bourbons, fly cemeteries and the dusty old packet of pink wafers you inherited when your gran died before you’d consider an Oreo

cashews_best_nut,

Hob Nobs are top tier. 🤌

Mr_Blott,

Close, *homemade hobnobs are top tier. Trust me, I’m an emigrant 😂

Did you hear Simon Putin say stop? Nyet. No. You did not.

Evotech, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

Firefox is quite good natively. All I have is ublock and bitwarden

Ogtand sponsorblock. I already pay for YouTube premium so I don’t really care about in video ads

scytale, in Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?

Intermittent Fasting is what worked for me. I’ve been on 16:8 for 3 months now and lost almost 10 lbs so far. I like it because it’s so easy. Just don’t eat for 16 hours. No need to avoid any particular food/ingredients and no need to count calories (relatively compared to other diets). I didn’t have to change what or how I eat other than the time I stop and start eating.

pineapple_pizza,

Haha not eating for 16 hours does not sound easy to me

surewhynotlem,

16/8? That’s basically just skipping breakfast and no snacking after dinner.

sik0fewl,

Yep, that's exactly what I do. Just started, so not sure if it will work. I plan to throw in a bit of exercise, too. I've been very sedentary since covid.

surewhynotlem,

I hear ya. I worked myself up to 18/6. Lost some weight, but I still don’t move enough.

You’re right and it’s still hard no matter what, but remember that most of that time you’re going to be sleeping.

If you get 8 hrs of sleep going to bed at 10pm and waking at 6 am, you could split the fast evenly in the morning and night (eat your first meal at 10 am and you’d stop eating at 6 pm) or you could stick it in the morning or evening (last meal at 2 pm, OR first meal at 2 pm) or some combo in between.

It’s even easier if you’re a lazy person like me who sleeps ~10 hrs a day!

Still, absolutely no judgment if it still sounds hard or impossible. Everyone’s eating styles are different :-)

Defectus,

Been doing this as well. Not for weights reasons. But man do I feel the difference in focus and general well being. Also tried a 3 day water fast. A bit hard but also felt really good during the second day.

Defectus, in Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?

Had a UC flare, after that I adjusted my diet. About 50% of the time I do 18h of fasting. Tried an 3 day water fast, gonna do this maybe every 2 months. Mostly meat free meals, cooked from scratch. Trying to keep sugar and bread to the weekends. Eating fermented vegetables and kombucha with most meals. Additional vitamins when I remember.

MrMusAddict, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

It’s the an extension for Google Passwords? It’s my password manager for all my devices.

I would love to switch to Firefox, but I don’t want to open chrome every time I need a to retrieve/save a password.

NoTittyPicsPlz, (edited )

Firefox can save passwords without an extension although there is a password manager you can add. Sign into something on Firefox and it will ask you to if you want to save your login. I’ve haven’t needed google for any reason after switching.

Switch to BitWarden, then use this tutorial to get your passwords from Chrome into BitWarden.

It has a web, desktop and mobile app and also a Firefox extension, which are all here.

Meltrax,

Switching to Bitwarden takes minutes. Export from Google, import to Bitwarden. They have a phone app too which will sync with your browser one.

As well as those others have already mentioned, I use:

Linguist is a translation extension that respects your privacy. If you switch to the Bergamot translator it acts in offline mode.

Redirector which allows you to set custom rules so you can redirect (for example) Twitter to Nitter, Instagram to PikUki and also rules to redirect pages that are behind paywalls via 12ft.io (or 1ft.io as 12ft is currently down) .

TamperMonkey a userscript manager. I don’t have loads of userscripts but I do have things like SocialFixer for making FB a bit better, Absolute Enable Right Click and Bandcamp Volume Bar.

greywolf0x1,

Firefox now comes with an offline translator for major languages across all platform.

vin,

Not “major”, just a small handful

SirToxicAvenger,

Linguist looks useful, added it - thanks!!

lea,

ViolentMonkey as an open-source alternative for TamperMonkey.

leraje,
@leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Never heard of this - thank you very much! Easy to move scripts/settings too - export from tamper as zip - import zip into violent.

Annoyed_Crabby, in Why are most memes on Lemmy from 5-10 years ago?

Reddit used to be good, we just reliving the good old day of Reddit.

Serious answer: why not? There’s no expiring date on meme. If it convey the funny then there’s nothing wrong with using old meme. Renewing meme for renewing sake is boring.

Valmond,

Yeah bring back overly attached girlfriend and winning baby!

Draegur,

And Doge before crypto ruined it.

danque,
@danque@lemmy.world avatar

Fair, but trollface and ffffffuuuuu are expired however.

pleb_maximus,

I could use some trollface every now and then.

Annoyed_Crabby,

Trollface is quite a defining meme tbh, it’s a symbol for trolling. The rest however…

onlyhalfminotaur,

Because comedy changes.

AstridWipenaugh, in Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?

Eat a variety of foods and eat what makes your body feel good. Eat an amount that maintains your healthy weight. But the most important part is finding the motivation to control your intake.

intensely_human,

Also meditate to cultivate awareness of how your body feels. Especially if you’re a man because culturally (and possibly biologically) men tend to be cut off from their feelings.

AstridWipenaugh,

💯 I’m closing in on 40m and I’d be in a world of pain if I hadn’t started listening to my body. I had a “bad back” and got sucked into going to a chiropractor for years. One day I realized they weren’t going to fix anything and it was up to me to figure out why I hurt and make it better. I’m largely pain free now, because I started taking the time to listen instead of “just power through it”.

I also lost 70lbs and have maintained a healthy weight for a decade without a “diet”, aside from what I said in my original post. Shit food made me feel like shit, but I didn’t want to listen…

Femcowboy, in Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?

I maximize fiber and protein and don’t really count calories. Most americans do not get enough fiber so metamucil can be very powerful. I will go out of my way to eat filling, low calorie foods. Apples, celery, and the not so occasional pickle.

intensely_human,

I love pickles. And the juice is great for hydration.
