Why is it that when I see removed, it's always from lemmy.ml, is that the only instance with the filter enabled
It's the biggest one still federated with .world with that filter.
How would lemmy.ml being federated with lemmy.world affect how a user on sopuli.xyz sees content posted by a lemmy.ml account?
It's more that .ml is the biggest instance with that filter that will show up on .world, the biggest instance overall. So statistically, unless they are specifically looking at instances with automatic slur post filtering, this is the situation they will notice it in. They aren't seeing the content differently, the removed is happening at the post so it's the same experience for everybody.
What's Edge?
The browser you use to download Firefox
The thing you use once to download firefox, and then never again.
They get you really close but stop just before finishing.
🥵
a chromium skin
You don't Edge?
Mine Linux don't have it
Let me help you:
flatpak install flathub com.microsoft.Edge
Why would you do this to him
Because the best sort of shit post is one that's also informative!
Nooo, it is browser on my workplace! How should I work efficiently without uBlock!?!?
Tell IT and your boss how your productivity tanked since edge disabled uBlock.
So, unironically, I do plan to request Firefox with uBlock Origin as a reasonable accomodation for my ADHD if I'm not able to use it at a job in the future. Banner ads are genuinely distracting and I have a real disability that makes them worse for me.
This might actually reverse firefox's decline in userbase at least in the business world. Any shop that already has multi-OS management could probably insta-switch to firefox, and i'm sure that MS locked-in places could too given enough of a push by IT.
I saw one guy from my it team use a browser without adblock. Please send help
Click on all the ads and install all the malware. That will teach them.

My work insists on using it too. Fuck knows why, maybe it's a security thing? And my personal laptop is constantly nagging me to use edge - it could be the best browser ever and I would still avoid it just because of the pushiness.

Right, you don't need extensions, because you don't need customization, because what you need is what we the corp say you need.
I think Web as it exists is a failed branch of evolution.
A networked (solved) hypertext (solved) document (solved) system - yes. A networked hypertext system with one or two unbelievably complex clients, where only enormous corps have enough resources to change something, - no. One can add steps - E2E encryption, dynamic services, scripts, all not requiring a monolithic piece of nonsense.
BTW, those hating Flash, I hope, do realize that its proper, paradigm-abiding replacement would be a FOSS plugin with similar goal, not what we have.
I feel similarly. Javascript was made to add some functionality to documents and now we're basically running Doom in a word professor. I don't know what a better system would look like, but I'd draw a line between document-type pages and pages that you want to do more on.
people use edge? it downloads itself onto your computer without permission.
Honestly, it's pretty easy to dunk on edge. But it's based on the same chromium browser. They have excellent customer support. I have in the past submitted bug reports and they have followed up. Until now, they had pretty good privacy and options in their settings. With this v2 / v3 situation, I will have to reassess all that.
It didn't for me on Linux :^)
I use it on my laptop because it doesn't nuke my laptop's battery like all other browsers. So it's a bit of a shame.
