If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).

@nitrofurano Never tried that one and I'm not convinced it's better than a tweaked Firefox (also it seems to be based on an older version of Firefox)

@frumble @garrett I ran speedometer on my own Intel laptop under Linux and Firefox scored 20% more than Chrome. In pure JS benchmarks, Chrome scored 10 to 15% more than Firefox. The point is: on average there are both just as fast today.

@joeyvdpoel Chrome was introduced as a hero in the browser space but lived long enough to see itself become the villain

@kremowkazwadowic I'm curious to know why? You can always disable telemetry or DNS-over-HTTPS if you want.

@kremowkazwadowic The Mozilla Foundation is not perfect, but it's the only contender big enough to fight against a Google monopoly on the web (besides Apple which is not free).Also it's difficult for forks to continously merge the latest features and security patches and stay up-to-date with upstream.I'm not sure what you mean by bland, Firefox can be customized using themes and extensions.

@l0ngyap I'm no security expert but I don't think Chromium is much better given that it leaks all your cookies

@verita84 The last time I used Edge on Linux it showed me a sidebar, shopping coupons extensions and other random shit.

After looking into IP cameras recently, it turns out 99% of them are using a SoC SDK based on an outdated modified Linux kernel (2018 or older).The newest popular Wyze cameras use Linux 3.10.14 and an OpenSSL release from 2013!Alternative firmwares like OpenIPC do exist, but unlike OpenWRT they're always based on the same vendor kernel.SoC vendors, please stop this madness.#Linux #Embedded #InternetOfShit

@tuxicoman A Raspberry Pi Zero or equivalent should be efficient enough but having to build everything from scratch is not realistic for most people

@tuxicoman According to the document, it's for all technologies and the user will be able to use its own modem and router (point A) and not just its own router connected to a proprietary modem in bridge mode (point B).

If you miss a John Wick action movie in 2024, I can warmly recommend "Monkey Man" from and with Dev Patel.https://youtu.be/g8zxiB5Qhsc
