I’ve never gotten why Brave got popular in the first place. I downloaded it once and uninstalled within 3 minutes.

Cromite and Waterfox are all I’ll ever need.

Yeah, I just use pause for music, and I have a macropad with f13-18 so I just set one to trigger suspend.

Nice! If I wasn’t using the custom hotkey I’d jump to this for sake of keeping things lightweight. Thanks for sharing.

I maybe wasn’t clear, I didn’t make this, I just found it and figured folks here could benefit from knowing about it!

But no clue if it’ll help with that, worth a shot tho.

Ah I see, ty

If you’re on Android why not just use revanced or Newpipe? Both are excellent and I haven’t had issues with revanced since this change.

Oh I agree completely. I also think a lot of people just don’t realize that many of the things they think of as part of Windows can be tweaked or removed, so they just sit there assuming they have to live with it when there’s a fix that most people could implement if they google a how-to guide (or they could ask their nerdy friend).

I love helping friends set up Windows installs, because they’re always so shocked at how little clutter there is and how well everything works. At the same time it makes me mad that all of that is necessary at all, and I’m swearing at Microsoft the whole time I’m helping them.

It’s a single registry key or a single group policy edit, and I’m not talking to the average user, I’m talking to Lemmy users.

I’m saying as far as annoyances in windows go, this is incredibly simple to change if you are at all familiar with tweaking advanced windows shit.

Yeahhh here’s to hoping someone AURs it 😅

I mean for sure but I play games with my nephews so for me dual booting Windows is worth it, and it’s certainly something to consider when deciding how you’re gonna set up your system, as much as that sucks.

I hope it’ll change on games that do, or they’ll set up a workaround for Linux, but for now if you care about a game that uses it, ysk beforehand so that you can decide whether to dump that game or dual boot.

You can remove the Internet search and make it do normal search pretty easily. I know I know you shouldn’t have to, just saying putting an hour into cleaning Windows is worth.

Hope you don’t play anything that uses Windows kernel-level anticheat 🫠

Yep! Note that if you end up running Cromite on Windows and want auto-updates, you’ll have to download and set up a shortcut with chrlauncher as well as a custom config file. Only takes a few minutes though and works great once set up.

If you’re okay with Windows 10, why not LTSC? No feature updates but you do get security updates for an extended lifecycle.

Press start key, type. Faster than clicking on a search box.

Personally I used Bromite and switched to Cromite. Still the best mobile browser for Android IMO.

ABP built-in, userscript support, privacy/security enhancements, option for bottom address/tab bar, etc.

Problem is, it could end up going the way of Bromite as well, which would mean searching for a new browser again.

I’m excited for Waterfox Android, whenever that releases, as I switched back to Waterfox for my desktop browser recently, but there hasn’t been any word on that lately so no clue when that’ll happen.

Edit to add that I also love that Cromite has a desktop version. I always wanted a desktop version of Bromite, and I now have Cromite set up alongside Waterfox in case I need a chromium browser for compatibility. Once Waterfox Android releases, I’ll have the perfect browser setup.

Yes, a wiki is an EXCELLENT idea. IDK if there are any plans to add wiki functionality on Lemme, but man it’d be nice.

Imagining the Mozilla AI as a personified Firefox and Thunderbird fighting off Cortana, some BARD (sorry) and a bunch of generic evil corporate AIs just makes me excited that Mozilla would be the one fending everyone off.

What’s the best way to export everything? The name of the theme I used is in the info panel there but if there’s a way for me to export everything as I have it set I’m happy to help.

Otherwise I can get all the names of the different themes for ya.
