The template of this meme is that of the man who cheerfully points his hand at a butterfly, asking “Is this a pigeon”?. In this meme, the man has been covered with icons of the applications IntelliJ, VSCode, Chromium and Signal. The butterfly which he points to is overlaid with the caption “.config”. He asks “Is this a trash can?” At the bottom of the image, we see the command du -sh executed on the directories .config/chromium/ and .config/Code, yielding file sizes of 1016M and 83M respectively.
Well dont use chrom*
The signal community should band together and write a signal client that doesn’t use the waste of space called electron. There is a rust library for signal and slint for cross platform UIs. Slint is even working (slowly) on mobile targets

There already is one called Flare. It uses rust IIRC.
Thanks. I’ll have a look at this!

I use ungoogled chromium, but only for sites that absolutelly don’y wanna work on firefox.
I’m surprised. I haven’t had a website not work with Firefox for a long time. I haven’t even had to install chromium as a backup in almost two years now.
I’m taking an online based college that makes heavy use of some heavier apps like web based virtual machines that function as ‘lab environments’ for development assignments. These refuse to function unless I’m in chromium of some kind. Same with the online based proctoring tools the school uses when you take tests n stuff - chrome is the only browser that can be used, and I have to specifically use a windows device 🤢
Always fun to see what I’ve been “missing out on” in the chrome experience, when I’m forced to use it. Man, the Firefox UX is a dream compared to chrome!
Really hoping on that FOSS browser that’s on the horizon! Ladybird, I think it’s called? Hopefully it won’t be shit! 🤞
I actually use chromium to do watch party’s. As you can disable hardware acceleration and for some reason the Netflix DRM doesn’t work anymore. (So I can stream the video to friends on dc)
But otherwise I never had problems with Firefox.
Proxmox, when connected to a host, will not see symbols and instead type the numbers instead (shift+1 etc). But it will still type a character, and it’s hidden from the user, so you end up screaming WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT until you try to sudo in fucking chrome and whoop works first try.
Found that like 9 months ago. Still pissed as fuck. Like 2h of my life gone, thought I fucked my root account, fucking pissing myself trying to copy data off before I do anything in case I was fucked.
PM needs to fix their shit.
E: Oh, cpanel recently broke too. I can login, but am immediately logged out because lack of a security token. That one might be because I’m using librewolf, but it was working a month ago so…
E2: synology, both nas and router, works sometimes in LW, but other times it loads the page but no content. This is regardless of if I am logged in and refresh, or if I’m just trying to login. Shit just doesn’t reliably work. Chrome, it’s fine.
I don’t want to be that guy but it works for me. I use Proxmox all the time in Librewolf.
With symbols in your VMs passwords?
You guys are doing passwords?
Anyway I’ve never had issues with symbols but I also don’t have a international keyboard. (Mine is US layout)
Just yesterday I had shadow.tech’s Cloudflare “vErIFY yOuR hUmAN” fail on me in Firefox. I had fucking paid for a month already otherwise that would have been enough to turn me off.
This always happens to me. How can one get around that (without using chrom*)
Me too…mostly? But the cases I’ve seen or encountered are always government, financial, education, or medical websites with some super-bespoke “portal” that will simply act bizarre on Firefox.
It really sucks that it seems so common to just glance at some “market-share” data and, not just assume everybody must use Chrome, but go so far as to force them to.
They are out there. I also have it around for those occasions. More common that you’d expect. Almost always some shitty site needed for work that has problems.
Firefox doesnt support web serial.
Oh yeah that reminds me, to use the Graphene web installer, you need chrome. To revert to factory, chrome.
Same but I use Cromite or i try using a electron app (like heroic) on my pc.
Chrom, grant me my RAM…and if you do not listen, then the hell with you!
Firefox saves its config outside of .config/ as well, IIRC. Can’t check now, I have actually put that crappy browser in the trash bin long ago.
For what it is worth the Flatpak version doesn’t have this issue
Yes. ~/.mozilla. Its annoying.
You can fix it with a hack by putting a shell script in your path (before the original firefox) that consist of:
#!/bin/sh HOME='/home/engywuck/.local/share/firefox' /usr/bin/firefoxCall that instead of the original firefox from now on. it will create the “librewolf” folder in ~/.local/share and chuck its junk in there.
Edit: This bug has been open for TWENTY YEARS.
Honestly ridiculous.
I will not take this bait
And what browser are you using?
Usually the shit-talkers use some fork of FF that would last about 5 minutes if FF ceased to exist.
Or fucking Brave, the cryptoscam browser.
Yea, not a huge fan of the push for crypto on brave
