Here are comments on the evolution of browser share in a year.
(The three samples are heavily skewed to English-speaking higher eds.)
Last year results: techhub.social/@estelle/112047
You may still answer in the previous toot.

3/4 Fediverse members use #Firefox proper. Same as last year.
We welcome other parts of the Firefox family (any browser with Gecko inside):
• The share of Librewolf mentions doubled since last year.
• The share of other Gecko-based forks mentions also doubled since last year. (Even though some Waterfox usage is not logged because i did not list it.)

The shares of Chrome and Vivaldi were stable for the first thousand answerers (maybe more IT inclined) but doubled with the later thousand (in the last 24 hours).

The share of the last line (Opera-Blink-Brave mentions) decreased since last year.

Does anyone also has an issue with #librewolf not remembering the history and last session? It was working fine until it stopped.
This happens across devices too, on Debian and Windows. I can't find a reason to it.
I am using mozilla account to sync history etc., don't know if that is important but at this point I am out of ideas.
Having failed resolving that issue, since FF is out of the question, are there any ethical or privacy issues regarding Vivaldi? I'd rather not use Chromium based thing at all but LibreWolf's shenanigans are becoming a serious issue to me.

Planning for the future, I downloaded the #Palemoon browser. Posting from it! So far, so good. They forked off of Firefox some time ago; I don't know if they'd be able to survive its collapse (if you know, plz comment :boost_ok:). But yeah a good experience so far, a good backup plan for #Librewolf.

Been using #KDE Okular as my default pdf reader on #Linux, and just worked out that there's a setting that allows you to specify dark and light colours, meaning you can read pdfs in #DarkMode. No more having to put sunglasses on to read manuals! And you can assign it to a keyboard shortcut, so I've set it to the same as #DarkReader in #LibreWolf.
I love it when Linux Just Works.

New weird issue I've run into with #Librewolf on #postmarketOS / #AlpineLinux - the latest version in the Alpine repository doesn't want to play any videos. I've tried on both YouTube and several Peertube instances and videos just sit at an endless spinner. Audio works fine, playing music from my Subsonic server works no problem. I installed the #Flatpak version and symlinked my profile directories, it plays video just fine using the same profile.

So, opening the #HomeAssistant web terminal add-on in #LibreWolf results in approximately 100X magnification of the terminal screen.

I assume this has something to do with LibreWolf not reporting the actual window size to prevent fingerprinting.

It's not HA, as the terminal works correctly in Chrome.

So, who do I report this to? Both of them?

#LibreWolf v137.0-3 is now available.

codeberg.org/librewolf/bsys6/r

Some small changes/fixes: uBlock can now be properly disabled in private windows; ETP tracker blocking now works again properly.

See mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/137. for upstream changes.

We're sorry for the somewhat delayed release: we encountered an issue introduced by upstream changes, which pretty much completely broke loading of profiles for LibreWolf (and thus, all individual settings, for example), and took a while to debug/remedy.
