And that’s the SLOW way!

Exactly

VitabytesDev,

The correct way is:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo pacman -S chromium
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo pacman -Rs chromium
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo pacman -S firefox
</span>

Oh, for f sake!

Have an upvote and get out! Go to horny jail!

There is no horny jail on Lemmy 😂.

I did make one upvotedbecauseofboobs, but the instance went down 😔.

qyron,

The idea stands!

firefox tho

victorz,

They already have that, as you can see in the clip.

Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?

Literally no Linux user ever…

jonne,

I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

topinambour_rex,
@topinambour_rex@lemmy.world avatar

Their future plans is less firefox, more mozilla, like 2023.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

just use brave or Vivaldi

dog_,

Ahh yes, chrome or chrome. What great choices!

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

shut the fuck up firefox > chromium

dog_,

I was being sarcastic, god damn.

Use a user agent spoof extension on Firefox, should trick the website into thinking it’s running chrome.

Ziglin,

You mean Chromium right?

jonne,

No, Chrome. Specifically for the DRM stuff to access streaming services and casting, things that don’t quite work well with Firefox (by design). I use libre stuff when I can, but I make exceptions, I know not everyone uses Linux that way.

Cassa,
@Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

have you tried switching useragent? The websites I’ve been to have either been solved by useragent or chromium (just one site didn’t work with firefox and useragent)

jonne,

Switching user agents isn’t going to get around DRM implementations. Anyway, that was for specific streaming services I’m not using any more, so I haven’t needed to use Chrome in months.

VitabytesDev,

Spoof the user-agent using an extension

@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

If I can’t view a website in Firefox, then I probably don’t want to view it anyway. If I really must visit it then I’ll change the user agent…

More like: how the most basic just starting linux -users install web browser

Luccus, (edited )

I’ve been using Linux for more than a decade now as my daily driver.

Count me as ‘basic’ and ‘just starting’, because I quite like the colorful, clicky and nicely animated version, where I don’t have to remember anything and that works just as well.

And now out of my way, while I happily point, click and scroll to adjust my displays brightness, which is entirely possible through the terminal, but I’m not ridiculous or insecure enough for that.

victorz, in Linux users when

So many people in the comments are being wooshed.

apt install ‘WTF IS THIS SHIT?’

YoorWeb, (edited )

apt-get

Edit: huh, I’m old school I guess, this is from debian docs:

apt(8) for all interactive command line operations, including package installation, removal and dist-upgrades.

apt-get(8) for calling Debian package management system from scripts. It is also a fallback option when apt is not available (often with older Debian systems).

Not in years, by now.

TheEighthDoctor,

no need anymore, at least in ubuntu/kali

cupcakezealot, in Linux users when

it’s always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download

QuazarOmega,

Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy

Peter1986C,
@Peter1986C@lemmings.world avatar

The GIF shows a system where generally speaking this is not required (it could have been Firefox instead of Chrome).

catsarebadpeople,

Ok but the joke is that you install Chrome just to install Firefox then uninstall Chrome…

Peter1986C,
@Peter1986C@lemmings.world avatar

Which applies mostly to Windows and maybe to MacOS. You do not download an installer on Linux if the package manager has got you covered.

catsarebadpeople,

Yeah we know but that’s not the joke lol. What’s your deal dude? Explaining jokes to socially inept people is actually pretty boring. I’m out

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Nobara came with Firefox, do most distros not?

You999,

Does nobara still include Firefox? They moved to chromium as the default browser in 39 because kiosk mode in Firefox is Bork’d

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I haven’t installed 39 yet, 38 came with it out of the box.

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

I installed 38 first and than upgraded to 39 back thab firefox was the default, with the upgrade they didn’t remove firefox and install chrome into my pc so I am hapoy avout that

I know Raspberry Pi OS apps with chromium.

AnUnusualRelic,
@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

But… Firefox is always already installed.

You can smell the Manjaro influence from 3 miles away

(Unless you just like living on the edge)

progettarsi, (edited )

backhdlp,
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Does Arco do the incomplete update bullshit too or are you just misremembering the command?

progettarsi,

yay for the win

cows_are_underrated,

Why should you use yay to install a browser?

arschfidel, in Linux users when

OMG, so complicated! Literally unuseable for anyone but computer scientists!

Secret300, in Linux users when

Why does gnome software looks so much smoother of an interface back then. Now the search takes forever and the interface is buggy.

kattenluik,

Every time I’ve ever been aware of a Gnome update is because they changed something they shouldn’t have at all or some update caused it to be buggy and slow. A lot of those were recent updates.
