Why I use Firefox : firefox

Ad blocking on Android is the killer feature. Can't possibly go into the YouTube app and watch there, it's cancerous

I too, enjoy not being able to watch videos when YouTube API had been changed

Eh, it's usually fixed pretty quickly. When it breaks, I just watch through Firefox with my ad blocker instead.

The YouTube app sucks, I've disabled it and intend to never use it again.

I will never understand why browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab = false is not the default, or why it is not an option in the Tab section of settings.

This is one of the shadiest looking links I've ever seen. No way am I clicking that.

[–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The actual url is https://šime.eu/3

It's called Punycode.

Exactly, in some contexts it is displayed like this to mitigate homograph attacks, where someone creates similar looking URLs for phishing purposes. Nothing shady about Punycode by itself, but it's good to be aware of homograph attacks. Internationalized domain names (IDNs) are cool :)

@NewPerspective @neop I just read it and it isn't shady. It's just not some fancy site owned by some media company.

The only thing I think he missed was the excellent reader view that I have never seen done as well anywhere else.

It's just a website. Actually a decent looking one too.

If someone wanted you to click that link with bad intentions, pretty sure they would have a normal domain name. :)

[–] NewPerspective@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, still not clicking it

[–] SteveKLord@slrpnk.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is what it redirects to if it seems safer: https://šime.eu/3

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Too long didn’t click?

Firefox itself is a little bit spyware. Its not as bad as Chrome but its not good either.

You should harden it

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why you getting down voted? You are right. If people really want something better then harden it with a JS file, or use Mullvad or Librewolf.

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Weird lemmy people downvote the truth.

[–] Fisch@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How exactly is it spyware?
