i really distrust Google and I'm glad about the verdict. I do agree that chrome and android should be ~~cut off models~~.

edit: cut off from advertising business models

on the other hand, like with Firefox, I'm worried about the instability and changes that are coming, mainly in the effect on fork projects Like Graphene, Calyx, Lineage, any privacy-focused Chrome forks, and of course Chromium.

DOJ probably isn't able to guarantee chrome & potentially android are taken over by totally ethical, stable companies/NPOs who will keep the projects open source, or allow an open source offshoot project to which the new organization would still contribute coding people-hours.

I'm sure there will be some sort of guarantees for stock chrome and android users, like paid services/subscriptions will be continued or refunded.

but what about users of community projects based on chrome and Android?

many other Lemmy users have commented how community projects don't really have the resources to keep browser engines up to date, let alone innovate. without Google (which i think is a good thing), Microsoft Edge team could become the de facto direction-setter of Chronium (which i think is really really really bad).

TL;DR the foss mobile OS community, and especially the foss browser community (considering Firefox funding shortfall and AI/ad revenue pursuits) are possibly f*ed in the a for the near term.

i see the original poster (on Twitter? mastodon?) can read the kana and is aware of some of the irony.

i hope everyone here is also aware that

• to people in Japan this is a worthless (doesn't accomplish anything) use of kana because it communicates nothing to Japanese speakers
• for East/Southeast Asian people in western countries, this type of font is a reminder of how they are constantly asked by non-Asians to read/translate Chinese or any and all non-roman non-arabic script languages, regardless of where they were born/raised or their families' relation/lack of relation to countries that use Chinese script.

not saying the pic can't be enjoyed, but enjoying without being aware is just contributing to the ignorance being spread by the (probably) ignorant coffee shop.

maybe it's caused by graphene+ironfox+some other setting or other app

i agree with the headline. strongly. didn't read the article.

btw is tech dirt still funded by (one of) Koch bros?

edit: honestly, just checking. won't complain, whatever the answer.

yeah, on graphene.

hmm can't find mention of a bug for this combination. barely even the two mentioned in the same webpage.

Lemmy and Molly (foss) are the most addictive. 🤣🤣

vehemently agree!

i agree with wanting see more of tab title. for people who regularly keep 50+ tabs open, that is a pipe dream.

if tabs are so many that their iconized anyway, making the tab bar vertical and iconized isn't much difference.

and if the bar would expand on hover (hopefully in near future), like in Brave (not sure if it's a Chrome feature), then it can be wide enough to see plenty of title without reducing the webpage size most of the time.

this is the most balanced policy.

I'm not sure why it seems no one else is recommending this type of backup-for-rainy-day strategy.

I've been trying ironfox but it crashes when i tap "customize homepage"

have you experienced this?

i am syncing no problem with librewolf.

about Multi Account Containers extension, i also recommend this. however, it must be said this extension isn't compatible with android Firefox, probably not ios either but i haven't checked.

i am still researching Firefox forks on android.

i would not consider buying this much honey, personally, but i really appreciate your comment. it is so informative.

thank you! (sincere)
