On Linux if I have media keys on my keyboard and a media player inside of a browser (say Firefox + Jellyfin) is there any way to pass those key events to that specific browser tab, regardless of window/tab focus?

Obviously Wayland & Firefox's security models prevent this for good reason but I'm wondering if there's a way to make an exception, or maybe a media control API I can use?

Boosts appreciated for visibility!

Every now and then I find something that does not work in LibreWolf so I need to use Firefox... this time it's this gamepad tester.

There's probably some permission I need to set in LibreWolf but I haven't found it yet.

One important thing I need to keep in mind with LibreWolf is that when something does not work I need to check if it works in Firefox.

For instance the TrueNAS shell was not working, and I realized that TrueNAS wasn't broken, LibreWolf was just "protecting" me...

Which again, is a good thing, but it's sometime a bit too much protection for those of us who know what we are doing.

I made more progress with LibreWolf last night. It tries very aggressively to protect you (which is good!) but that mean you may need to work a little harder to log into some of the sites you use.

Sync seems to have brought over my plugins and bookmarks but maybe not all my saved logins.

Quick PSA : yes, has been disappointing, but so far, they’re the only organization preventing Google to have a full control over web standards. Blink/WebKit-based browsers (Chromium, Vivaldi…) do NOT help at all in that regard.

So please use or a -based alternative (, …). Ride the nightly release train and report bugs if you can. is getting ready, but for the next ~5 years, Gecko is our only suitable option.

Serious question: Is there any non Chromium based browser for macOS that runs uBlock Origin and that isn’t as limiting as LibreWolf, and not going to become AI shit like Firefox will apparently be soon?

@Luminex Is the Debian version "official" or a "fork"?

@mcc @Luminex I think that ATM Debian is using the original source code. There was a huge brouhaha a few years back about the changes (back porting of security patches) and trademark issues, but they've reverted to “plain”

Come on guys. This release is garbage. It has taking up 80% of the CPU. Refreshing this tab takes 2 minutes. Typing is unresponsive. Toots don't load. It doesn't work.

Please Fix It.

I leave the web interface running all the time. I unlock my machine and the notification sound is playing OVER AND OVER and the browser tab is practically locked. No other tab has an issue.

I can't believe it myself, but yes, I've made my default browser on my personal laptops. It's never been my default, even though I've used it occasionally, off-and-on, for 25 years. XD

I still fire up ( fork) occasionally on those machines, but fits in this neat space between terminal browsers and "full-fat" browsers like Librewolf and .

I'm just wishing it had a "follow mode" for following links from the keyboard, and wondering if there was some way to make it use the clipboard by default, instead of primary selection. I don't quite understand why classic X11 programs use primary selection so much. XD

@dillo THIS! This solved the issue! Thank you so much for sharing! Now the browser is complete: minimalism, efficiency, and able to use metasearch engines to search for other content rather than just text. Dillo is awesome!

Would like to promote the / extension here. Motivated by seeing a post about summaries pretty much every where these days.

Ublacklist allows to hide search results from results like .

Next to each result is a small block icon which adds the domain to the filter and not 1 link of this site will reappear in your results.

Each time the result of a website is clearly generated I block the whole domain. Last week I searched an issue about CNC milling and 9 out of the 10 first results on duckduckgo had been ai crap that didn't answer any questions but just rephrased a question multiple times.

Probably sysifus work but I'm feeling pretty good about making sure I'm never kicking a second time on basically fake links of fake websites.

Try it! If search engine companies can't do a good job or don't want to, I'm happy I can do it myself and stop them being able to show shit to me.
