Actually, the top one is the logo of the chromium browser engine, but the bottom one is not the logo of the Gecko browser engine. That’s the logo of SpiderMonkey, Firefox’s Javascript engine (Chromium uses V8).
This is the logo for Gecko:
Firefox doesn’t even use Gecko anymore, it uses Quantum. I think it still uses spidermonkey though.
This is not correct.
Firefox still uses Gecko for its HTML engine. Quantum was a project to incorporate some learnings from Servo, and other larger performance projects, into Firefox components, including Gecko.
Just an aside, but Servo was never intended to replace Gecko, and was only intended to be a R&D project for improving some Firefox components. This was due to the long-tail of web compatibility that would be required to make Servo a suitable replacement for Gecko.
It’s especially moronic that Cloudflare thinks everyone using Tor is trying to DDOS every site.
Do you know how fucking slow Tor is? You couldn’t DDOS an Arduino with it.
Probably because there are A LOT of people using that tor exit node that have visited that site recently. So, cloudflare sees it as a potential DDOS
Onion sites get DDOS attacks constantly. That’s why Dread has so many backup links.
afaik, cloudflare has an option to disallow tor traffic. so the website owner decided they don’t want tor
Not only tor. Any user agent string that has no valid info is marked as not trusted/bot/gtfo
Do we, as an industry, have such short attention span, that we forgot how Microsoft abused their monopoly in the 1990s to force everyone to use Internet Explorer? Now that Google is doing the exact same thing, nobody seems to mind.
Because the tech gigacorporations have literally spent the last three decades brainwashing us into accepting shit like that and even convincing us that it’s better this way.
Not better. No one thinks anything is better, just that we don’t have a choice but to take what they serve.
I remember using Netscape (my Google keyboard didn’t know that word) before Firefox and SeaMonkey. I mostly used SeaMonkey to edit HTML and Firefox for my casual browsing.
Those of us who had to develop websites and make them even vaguely functional in IE6 haven’t forgotten.
Dark times, those were.
I get the joke but I don’t have any problems visiting websites. Neither with firefox nor with mull
My wife was recently in school. Almost all the services she used decline to render unless you’re using Chrome.
But I did have issues with some Web SDRs on http://www.websdr.org/ when using Chromium-based browsers
And I wasn’t the only one, looking at F.A.Q.:
Q: I’m using Chrome and don’t hear audio (on some sites)!
A: Since version 71, Chrome does not allow every website to start playing audio, in order to stop annoying advertisements. Chrome tries to guess whether you want audio or not, but doesn’t always get it right. On some WebSDR sites, you’ll get an “audio start” button, on some you don’t.
If you don’t get audio, try the following:
- At the top right, click the 4 vertical dots, and then Settings.
- At the bottom, click Advanced.
- Under “Privacy and security,” click Site settings.
- Select “Sound”
- Select “Add” and enter “http://*”
(thanks to K9GL for these instructions)
Note that the above effectively disables Chrome’s “autoplay” policy for all http sites.
Although stopping automatic sound from advertisements is a noble idea, I think Chrome’s autoplay policy is fundamentally wrong. Instead of trying to guess what the user wants, the browser should simply ask the user whether he/she wants to allow the page to play sound (and remember that for later visits, of course).
my company give choice to use Firefox and Chrome and it is mandatory to install those browsers on those computers. But, 95% use Chrome.
My company has basically forced us to use Chrome. It’s mentioned repeatedly throughout our training period.
I haven’t tried Firefox at work yet though but I’m sure it’ll work just fine.
It’s “how it feels” or “what it feels like”, not “how it feels like”
Thank you! Also “how it looks” and “what it looks like”. I see people messing those up all the time
🥸🥸🥸🥸
Brave isn’t doing much better with captchas lately due to having adblocking built in, google is just on a crusade against anyone blocking stuff.
It’s so absurd. It feels like half of the websites out there actively don’t want me to visit them.
I don’t have any problems using Firefox every day on every website that I need. I use it on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.
The only browser that I actually have problems with websites regularly on is Safari on my Mac.
within the last couple days my Firefox browser has stopped working. It used to be my default, but now whenever I call on Firefox the screen just comes up black. But guess what? Chrome works fine. they’re forcing me to use Chrome now 😡
Is that on Android? It happens every once in a while for me. I just fully close the app and relaunch it and it works fine.
Yes Android, thank you for the tip. I will try that.
I use lynx btw.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in ages.
Who’s Jocker Black and why do you recognise him?
What is the second browser from the bottom on the right?
Librewolf
As the other two said, Librewolf. It’s basically a very privacy-focused fork of Firefox, where just about all privacy settings are on by default.
Now that is driving me crazy, it looks so familiar, but I just can’t place it.👿
Found it!
It’s Librewolf, a Firefox fork.
Haha now that you mention it, they do have similar logos.
Duck duck go?
Their browser on Android relies on Chromium, on Windows it uses Edge’s webview thingy and on macOS Safari afaik
I see
KHTML
Is that the logo for Amarok?
No librewolf, but I totally do see the Amarok confusion lol
Amarok is what converted me to Linux Desktop, especially the iPod support in 2008. For me that was the year of the Linux Desktop.
It’s time to get rid of user-agent strings that declare anything other than desktop, mobile, or html version.
99% of sites only need to know your screen aspect ratio and maybe available input devices, can’t think of a good reason to share anything else
Knowing OS is useful for download links.
Oh no, they’d have to list more than one link,the horror!
I’d be down for an ask to allow that info. Sort of like how sites request access to cam and mic.
Before Windows 10, NVidia and others had this button Detect what thing suits me best on their websites. Now many of them just look it up in one’s fingerprint without asking.
