We need more 10Gbps or higher dedicated servers for hosting our OS and app updates. We have North America covered well enough via sponsored servers from ReliableSite in both Miami and Los Angeles and a sponsored server from Xenyth in Toronto but no longer have any left in Europe.

I recently discovered I could right-click copy/paste Vivaldi browser Tab Stacks as raw text URLs into any app! 🤯
@Vivaldi Now I have a feature request:
Allow users to paste lists of text URLs from any app into Vivaldi as new Tab Stacks. I was surprised when I was unable to do this already...
Screenshot of Vivaldi for Desktop where we see five tabs tiled, the one on the left shows the schedule for the Winter Olympics on a given day, the other four on a grid show different sports, ice skating, curling and snowboarding.
Nach heftiger Kritik: KI-Abschalter für Firefox kommt mit dem nächsten Update
Mit einem einzigen Schalter soll man in Firefox ab Ende des Monats alle KI-Funktionen abschalten können. Wie weit das unter der Haube geht, ist weiter unklar.
Why has everyone been talking about Vivaldi being a sensible replacement for Firefox when it's not even open source and you can't install it on Arch?
😬
These chrome "Profiles" aren't nearly as useful as Firefox's Containers either. Can't segregate a tab to it's own cookie-jar at all. Only entire windows full of tabs.
The annoying side-panel can be hidden but keeps coming back whenever you view the bookmarks or the notes or the ReadList or todo or Translate dialogs etc.
Because they are part of that side panel I guess.
The mail app seems okay, but it's making up it's own contacts based on mail in the imap boxes instead of taking them from my nextcloud. Which means I'd not use it. Just continue with Mutt. Probably would just continue with mutt either way really.
Having the calendar built in is quite nice I guess. That does sync with the nextcloud calendar so would be useable.
Like Firefox, the "Send Tab To Device" function on Android relies on the notifications system, and so doesn't work when the phone is in Do Not Disturb. Which makes it annoying for sending what you're reading to the phone for bed coz the phone is automatically in No-Disturb sleep mode before bedtime for me. That's an issue with Mozilla too though.
Force dark-mode works okay, but is an overall setting not a per-site setting. Could see having to turn that off and on a lot.
The notes system is really pretty good. It could use a widget for the android homescreen. And indeed widgets for the calendar and readlist and todo list and other panel items.
It seems very nice, can be made pretty, has most of the things I use addons for in Firefox built right in there and more besides.
I was quite excited and really on the verge of switching to it for proper until I found it doesn't have an arch package so can't be easily installed on the steam machine, and can't even be built from source there because it turns out isn't even free software.
Do I need more proprietary software in my life? Definitely usually try to avoid that. Closed source is worse than unwanted AI. 😔
So I guess sticking with Librewolf for now. Hopefully they can keep the AI agent stuff separated as Mozilla enshitify further without becoming overwhelmed.
Euer Browser nervt mit KI-Assistenten, Shopping-Vorschlägen und ständigen „Mach mich zum Standard"-Popups? 😤 Der US-Journalist und Programmierer Corbin Davenport hat genug davon – und eine elegante Lösung entwickelt.
Das Bild zeigt einen Browser. Im Bild steht: "Neues Open-Source-Tool befreit Chrome, Edge und Firefox von KI-Ballast" dadrunter steht: "Das Open-Source-Projekt „Just the Browser" macht Webbrowser wieder zu dem, was sie sein sollten – einfache Browser ohne unnötigen Ballast."
