Hello! That’s my main mbin account, my alt is @Fitik, I also have a furry/personal account at @fitik
I’m just a regular person from Israel🇮🇱, a queer, and a #Fediverse enthusiast! I’m a liberal
I don’t post much stuff, but when I do I usually post about #tech because I’ve mostly given up on trying to argue on there
If you want to stay on the Firefox fork I personally recommend trying out Zen Browser
Well, they call it “progressive role out” , this is what they say
Certain new Firefox features are released gradually. This means some users will see the feature before everyone does. This approach helps to get early feedback to catch bugs and improve behavior quickly, meaning more Firefox users overall have a better experience.
I’m yet to get it in my region, but good to hear if that so!
A refreshed New Tab layout is being rolled out to users in the US and Canada, featuring a repositioned logo and weather widget to prioritize Web Search, Shortcuts, and Recommended Stories at the top. The update includes changes to the card UI for recommended stories and allows users with larger screens to see up to four columns, making better use of space.
Pretty interesting
It’s very unique because only 0.05% of browsers have Hebrew as a prefered language(according to the second site), oh well, I guess it’s a problem for all semi-small language users
There’s an explanation from a different source talking about the same story:
Hungary has lost one billion euros in European Union funds that were frozen over corruption concerns, marking the first time Brussels has enforced such a penalty.
In 2022, Brussels began “conditionality” proceedings against Hungary, seeking to block disbursements because of alleged infringements linked to public procurement as well as a lack of control and transparency.
Budapest did undertake reforms that allowed some funds to be unblocked, but a total of €19 billion remain frozen.
Under timelines laid out in the EU’s conditionality regulation, “the first tranche of suspended commitments” – which amounted to €1.04 billion – expired at the end of 2024 without the suspension being lifted, the commission said this week.
This means Hungary has now lost that funding
I hope it will be added to mobile version as well, it’s the only thing stopping me from switching to the mobile Firefox
Ooh, okay, that must be it then, thanks for info
Yes, that’s why I’m confused about this announcement, I’m pretty sure Ecosia was already an option as a search engine, so I wasn’t sure what it entails
@TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world I’m not sure I have understood what the partnership is about? Is #Ecosia now a default search engine on #firefox or what? I’m kinda confused
I’m not sure, I think the m logo was fine, it’s not overly complex neither, but I agree that I think Mozilla has better priorities to spend money on
Their main income source also could be cut soon because anti-Monopoly ruling on the Google search
#Google search global market share is 91.5% and mobile search market share is 95% right now, I would be surprised if the ruling would be in the Google favor
XManager mod still works for me
i’m not sure about how many PDSes there are exactly, but according to stats there are around 500 active users not on the BlueSky’s flagship PDS
Yea, it’s also open source, so that’s cool
And that’s why I like Bridgy Fed, I don’t really like BlueSky neither (except nuclear block), but thanks to the bridge I can still interact with my friends from my Fediverse accounts, something that wouldn’t be possible with Twitter for example
Nice, I was a bit worried when it was taken off F-Droid
Because it’s a federated MBin magazine, look at how it looks on my instance
Alt text is something that might not seem important to the majority of people, and often people can’t be bothered to write it, but it can be crucial for people who have troubles with sight. This is an initiative that makes PDFs more accessible, and I think better a11y is good
There’s also @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org , it’s firefox-based as well
Not yet, they’re still the best option that doesn’t use Chromium (I don’t count Safari), but Servo is looking pretty promising
