Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated.
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

So far very impressed and happy with #Vivaldi as my new main browser. Glad that they included some apps integrated into the browser that I was not initially expecting to use as much as I do. (indieweb.social)

RIght now - this is the integrated RSS reader, and the Notes app of all things.
First one, makes me wonder why this wasn't this way in ALL browsers forever, especially #Firefox...

And as to the integrated and sync-able Notes across desktop and mobile apps --> Goodbye, Google Keep.

@tchambers@indieweb.social closed source? chromium?

[–] tchambers@indieweb.social 1 points 5 months ago

@pgiulan@federate.social Partly closed, true, and yes now is part of the chromium monoculture…but closed source apps are not a show stopper for me if the company has the right position on open web standards and privacy…and they seem great on both.

@tchambers@indieweb.social THe RSS thing probably not in Firefox because it's in Thunderbird.

[–] tchambers@indieweb.social 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@lunaticatlarge@toot.io I did not expect to find it useful, as I had other non-integrated, apps handling RSS for me before.

But to my suprise it is extremely useful even so - precisely due to it's being integrated into the browser.

@tchambers@indieweb.social I looked at others, including Liferea. Like you, I found it easier just to have Thunderbird handle email and the RSS stuff than have another app.

Yeah I decided to try it a while ago just for giggles. I use firefox every now and then on principle. The web should be free but I have to admit, i have been impressed with #Vivaldi.

I live in the states and wish more people understood how powerful it is. Gives you what you need and lets extensions cover the rest. Smart keyboard shortcuts and the team listens to users, aand releases on Linux as a first class citizen instead of an afterthought.

@tchambers@indieweb.social check vivaldi:history and change it to month. Amazing when you are looking for something you remember seeing, but not really sure when. Great way to narrow down the search.
