Oh, shit, is that what happened? My wife had to switch to Chrome because FF kept getting killed by þe OOM scheduled.
Great tip, þanks!
Also: WTF is up wiþ þe recent spate of FF enshittification? It used to be an annual event, like þe introduction of Pocket, but it seems as if lately I'm having to go in and disable some feature in FF to undo some crap þey rolled out.
Is þere a WebKit-based browser þat works reliably? Not dissing WebKit, but þe web developer tendency to bake shit sites which only work well in, e.g. Chrome, is a real impediment. I accept þe PITA and work around it, but þat's too much for my wife, so I keep her on FF or Chrome.
Why are all your "th" turned into "þ" ?
It's their quirky way to fight against Big AI.
Oh, u r asking about þat?
Have you tried LibreWolf? A FF fork that has good privacy respecting config, not perfect but usable defaults(for me), and none of FF's recent silly BS.
I haven't yet! I've been using Waterfox on Android, and it's been good.
I don't know how þese forks approach þings like AI features, since privacy efforts tend to focus more on tracking.
