    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poob

    From Proto-Hmong *pʉŋᴬ (β€œto fall”), probably borrowed from Middle Chinese ε΄© (MC pong, β€œto collapse, crumble”).[1]

    1. to lose, fail
      Nws poob nyiaj rau kev twv txiaj. ― He loses money to gambling.
      Nws poob hoob. ― He fails a class

    Darn that Proto-Hmong crowd and their modern, trendy words.

    In his newest (and worst) How Do You Do Fellow Kids moment, Mark Zuckerberg launches the Poob service, accessible exclusively through the Metaverse. What does it do? Fucked if we know.

    Same, after I tried all the other Fireforks. It was last on the list because of the non-serious name and logo, but damnit it's the most stable and has sensible defaults that don't get in my way.

    until the last update at least, which moved half of the settings into the "Floorp Hub", removed the other half, and broke gesture extensions and my userchrome >:( thinking of just going back to librewolf and staying with it forever

    I really wanted to like floorp but scrolling on a touchpad is awful on it for some reason. It's the only fork i have issues with the scrolling on a touchpad.

    I use Librewolf with a slightly edited Cascade CSS theme, plus the Catppuccin color palette. Works great and looks nice.

  • Just answer honestly,
    While floorp has a more flowy and relaxed security model that still allows interaction with local files and is just overall easier to get into, I also like Zen for it's peace of mind, with the ability to suspend execution of javascript on page load turned on as a default feature, however it can be quite uptight a what does and doesn't constitute valid html

    I'm playing with Floorp now. It works fine but I HATE the name.

    I really like librewolf. Does need some getting used to and actually learn to manage profiles (which it sadly remove the new profile browser for some reason?), but pretty great and "just works"

    The only problem is it isn't based on Chromium tho. That just doesn't suffice anymore.

    I was an avid Firefox user for years and librewolf user for a year after that, but unfortunately, FF hasn't been able to keep up in terms of web standards.

    More and more I kept having pages just not work. I ended up having to install a backup Chromium-based browser bc critical websites like my banking and loan sites only worked on Chromium-based browsers. Eventually, I caved. If I had to have a second,Chromium-based browser anyway, I might as well just use that for everything.

    I wanted to not use Chromium, but FF has lost the war. Chromium runs the show now. No more fighting back. Google owns the internet.

    So now I'm on Brave, and honestly it's way better than Librewolf these days. I would recommend any librewolf user switch over to that.

    I do the same. Some websites will not work claiming Firefox is not supported, but do some user agent spoofing and suddenly it works just fine. Just goes to show it is not actually the web engine that's the problem.

    It's weird how i still haven't run into any of those sites after years of using firefox. For me it not being chromium is a positive, especially with this recent adblock nonsense that google is pulling.

    Well it really depends on your use case because as a daily driver I never see any buggy page. Not even the enhanced protection thing is blocking pages

  • Yeah it was good for a while. But now a few important websites for me just don't work anymore, like a page for paying my loan. It only worked in chromium browsers. I know that chromium will work everywhere because they're the first to implement the newest standards and are the most supported by developers due to it having a huge market share. I can't rely on knowing firefox will work anymore. I've lost faith in it as a product.

    Yes they are. They are agreed upon standards set for future development from a host of different companies. Chrome is just always the first to implement them. It's not that firefox will never have them, they just develop slow.

    And I won't switch from brave bc it's the one browser that just works and has good adblock

    Why would you choose the crypto bro ad company browser out of all the chrome spinoffs?

    Why not use any of the others?

    One of the few chromies that has adblock still as well as decent privacy-by-default settings. I just disable the AI stuff. It doesn't have crypto stuff anymore (at least not in your face; I'm sure you can still re-enable it). It's the best chromium browser by far.

    I believed the same things... in around 2014. By internet standards, that's an absolutely ancient perspective, and absolutely untrue these days. My main browser is Floorp, a Firefox fork, and I've found a total of one website that actually doesn't work, which was just a huge directory listing.

    That's "Floorp", not to be confused with "Florp", which I see on Weebly:

    I mostly like zen. But I dont like that pressing on the new tab button brings up a floating search menu instead of taking me to my homepage.

    Edit: thanks for pointing me to about config peeps.

    I actually thought that was interesting. What I really didn't like is not being able to just set a theme, and when I finally got to the color picker thing it just wouldn't let me set proper full black (oled). Once themes are easier and it has tree style tabs (like sideberry - not those folders) I would consider switching again.

  • I loved Zen. But I have multiple devices and I don't want to have to do all of the customisation, profile and essential tab set up for ever device. So i gave up on it once base Firefox brought out the new vertical tabs.

    Oh that and they kept changing things that weren't customisable that I got used to. Like the profile switcher on the bottom.

    Has there been any updates that have implemented proper syncing or added more customisation yet? (I know about mods, but some of the better customisation ones would break every other update)
