Arkenfox is simply a set of configuration you can (and should) apply yourself onto a clean Firefox installation.

A fork means taking the source code and modifying it directly, not providing an alternative configuration file.

Arkenfox is not a fork FYI

yes but active usage doesnt mean it was not used?

If their criteria was “at least 1 person uses it at all, sometimes” then it would not have been removed 🤔

likely no maintenance effort at all.

The maintenance comes less from the code and more from making sure that every single menu added or changed in any way continues to behave correctly in three different sizes with themes and everything.

It’s hidden away behind a flag now because it hasn’t been actively used for years on end.

Not the other way around.

It is essentially just extra maintenance of a feature in Firefox that (statistically) not many people use

As such, it’s marked as “unsupported” to make clear that if any issues arise, Mozilla won’t help you with those issues.

Generally, if your admin set something like that up, they will have instructions in their privacy policy.

Just FYI, SearX is dead. Long live SearXNG

Codeberg, woo!

They should’ve just moved the other twitter domains too 🫠

This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

No this is a hilarious fuckup where they forgot to move twitter.com, pbs.twimg.com and more off of the Twitter domains, so Firefox started blocking it because to Firefox it looks like Social Media trackers.

Mozilla already pushed a fix.

This issue comes from the fact that even though the domain is now changed to x.com, it still tries to load content from twitter.com which Firefox thinks is social media tracking because it’s coming from a different domain than the one you’re on.

It’s a hilarious and dumb oversight with this change.

FYI: xManager itself is Open-Source, Spotify obviously isn’t.

I won’t properly reply to this, I’m biased cuz a friend of mine works on this 🥴

That’s just fine.

no I don’t believe a damn word of what apple’s gonna say on this, I just wanted to get the message out there that generally file deletion works by allowing data to be overwritten, so if the images are local this could very well just be that either it’s showing data that hasn’t been overwritten yet or it accidentally brought things out of the “recently deleted” depending on how long ago it was deleted.

no when I say “overwritten” I mean that the area is set as deleted in the filesystem and the next time something writes to that area the data that was there before is disregarded.

yeah cuz for normal, day-to-day use that’s exponentially slower the more you’re deleting

You can do that when you wipe something.

If all that you wanna do is download stuff, maybe try https://cobalt.tools

It pretty much just grabs the raw URL to the content for you, without the UI and fluff (in the case of Instagram) so you can just do a little “save as…” and it’s worked quite reliably for me to view content my friends sent me.
