There is apparently a way to set up a bridge that will allow you to access it, but that sounds like an awful lot of work. It also requires connecting to a PC running the software, and I would imagine it affects the security of the messaging (which may be the reason to choose proton mail in the first place).

Anyone used this successfully? I couldn’t get it to do much useful

Sometimes I feel like Firefox wants to be very visible while you’re using it so that you know you’re using Firefox. A great browser should disappear into the background most of the time.

I have no problem with highlighting a new feature by default, but making it impossible to remove doesn’t win you any favors. I feel like there are a lot of tab management things that Firefox is very proud of and wants people to use that are just not that useful. Especially when they haven’t finished implementing vertical tabs yet, which has been a requested feature for a decade.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Firefox, and I think it’s a great browser, but these little bad PR missteps make it really frustrating.

I’m not sure, but that could be connected to the name change K9➡️Thunderbird. They have said that they will maintain parallel releases of both (identical except for the name/branding) for the immediate future. This release appears to be the identical but may (or may not) solve the issue.

I think more ironic than bad.

Image tool box doesn’t seem to be able to arbitrarily rotate or add text. Some nice features, though.

Open Video Editor doesn’t seem to be able to combine videos. I’m thinking something like CapCut, which allows combining photos, videos, and audio. It would be an ambitious project to be sure, but it seems like it should be doable.

Great to hear! Can you name one for me?

If you live in an area that’s missing the data, it doesn’t matter how good the app is. I regularly upload in my area, but it will be years before it is reliable as a primary app. I usually search in Organic Maps first, then in Google Maps. OSM gets me where I need about 10-20% of the time at most. Google Maps is about 99%.

There are multiple front-ends for YT Music. Song Tube is good, Libre Tube is good, Inner Tune, Musify, Vibe You, etc. I haven’t used them all so I can’t testify to them, but it is a deep bench.

Some apps that I don’t understand why no OSS exists:

• Teleprompter app that allows you to read a scrolling script while recording video

• basic photo editor to crop, rotate, color correct, add text

• basic video editor to crop, clip, and combine video

• visual voicemail

And just for fun, here are some OSS apps that are better than any non-free alternative: SD Maid, Firefox/Fennec, Aurora Store (OSS front-end for a very proprietary Google store), RTranslator, Syncthing, OSS Document Scanner.

Add some green tabasco to Heinz ketchup for a little kick of flavor and spice

Thanks, I’ll give it a try!

Oh, that’s great! I don’t know how to do that, but I assume it’s pretty easy to Google, and I’ll need to set up an account?

I think the site chooses a random order of available apps and cuts off after a certain number. Not all apps will show up but if you narrow the list or refresh, then you can see all of those listed.

Cool. I’ll add it to my RSS reader

Containers don’t necessarily help privacy in an absolute sense but help keep trackers from following you across as many sites.

Facebook is good and I especially like the amazon container. It’s well calibrated and I’ll occasionally open a website unknowing and think, “wow, I didn’t even realize that [IMDB, Good Reads, etc.] Was an Amazon site.”

Very helpful.

Huh, that is odd. The algorithm should sort but not insert anything.

I’ve also used Fennec for Android, which I found indistinguishable from FF

I did a test drive of Floorp as well and I ran into a similar issue. I couldn’t get it working with touch input, although FF managed to smooth it out years ago. The fixes for Firefox didn’t seem to work for Floorp.
