2 years agoThere are a few Firefox forks:
- LibreWolf
- Waterfox
- Arkenfox
And then there is Brave which I find smoother than Firefox, but that’s just me.

Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based disscussion.

1·2 years agoI don’t know the specifcs, but there are strict rules and requirements on how the data has to be stored if you process any of it, then there is complience issues with laws like GDPR and you have to be a registered entity as far as I know. It’s just too much legal paperwork for most FOSS projects.
Top comment made me smile
You are unlikely to find FOSS alternative that is not for cryptocurrencies as the regulations around credit card data processing makes it hard.
@xaxl@lemmy.world Did some testing and it seems that it doesn’t load images through RSS but if you select load webpage, it will show the image.
Story of open source. Everyone needs to create their own version if even one thing is not to their liking. 🤣
Someone who is interested in continuing it should just fork it.
Could be. I haven’t tried with Lemmy. Will try later and mention you with my results.
In settings under sources, you can try changing the default target to load the full content if the images are not shown. It depends on the RSS implementation.
You could use something like Cryptomator, but it’s more focused around cloud. Veracrypt is still the go-to for offline encryption.
Video hosting/bandwidth is just too expensive to run long term. All big platforms are either barely making any profit after years operating or are still running into a negative. But since they have multi-billion corporations behind them they can affort it and get others benefits from having a big userbase to exploit.
If their goal was to be profitable that’s what they would of done, but it always was about killing 3rd party apps.
Something like FreshRSS might work for what you want.
What are you using? Freetube or something else?
I don’t think they store fingerprints. They only use MBID for metadata.
I just can’t get used to Firefox render engine it just feels weird. And that’s a deal breaker for me. Happy Vivaldi user.
And I support Mozilla goal of creating something independent, but I also don’t like their engine. Everything using Blink is not automatically a bad thing.
