It works but it’s config interface looks borked

Edit: NVM, it also breaks some sites

• Ublock Origin: No brainer. You can block just about every intrusive component of the modern internet with just this.

• Stylus: Write CSS themes for websites

• User-Agent Manager: For compatibility purposes, switch your user-agent to chromium on some websites

• Libredirect

• ClearURLs: Copy links without tracking or affiliation

• Dark Reader: Dark mode everywhere

• Temporary Containers: Provides some nifty shortcuts and features for creating temporary containers

Mostly old projects of mine like artwork and games

I use multiple windows for multiple purposes. When I’m done with one of the windows, I shut it down. I find it to be a decent organisational method, although I still end up with about 20ish tabs regularly

You need to disable resist fingerprinting. It’s annoying, but you can reenable it after you’ve logged in

I think most people who have found themselves on the fediverse are probably not normies, even if they might think so.

SearXNG is my go to. It’s a search aggregator so you have to configure it to select your preferred search engines, but once everything is up and running, I’ve found it’s results to be even higher quality than Google’s

Yes, a thunderbird flew over your head.

I’ll see myself out now.

Use k-9 mail (its a good email client and it supports gmail)

Yes it is. Why would it not be an improvement? Software packages that support every single distro makes stuff so much easier for both devs & users

I use bars more than handles. It’s usually the quickest thing to grab a hold of

I had a similar issue once and the problem was low storage space. Maybe you could try deleting some stuff?

I’ve never seen this appear. Is this in chrome? Anyway, like some people here have suggested, you can use a debloater script or something similar. I personally use O&O Shutup10. Hopefully enabling some options in there would work. Or you could just accept it and then change your search engine back to whatever you use lol.

Dont need one. Public transport is good in my city thankfully

Guitar play rock music. Guitar have handle. Rockhandle!

Maya. I just cannot get used to the Blender UI

Gdrive is an awful mess. I deleted a folder containing some 5000 files once and it deleted only the folder, not the 5000 files within 🤦

It’s still cluttered with all of them.

If your keyboard is supported by ratbag, it might be worth using it + piper to configure your board instead of whatever this is

It started as a privacy thing but as I dug deeper, I found that all of the foss alternatives I found were simply much better in terms of functionality & usability

The problem is that everyone has consolidated on one gargantuan server. The whole point of the fediverse is to spread out so no one server is carrying the entire load. I’m currently using lemm.ee and have experienced none of the issues being discussed here.

But yes, I agree that it could be a potential turn off for newcomers.
