I’ve never gotten why Brave got popular in the first place. I downloaded it once and uninstalled within 3 minutes.

Cromite and Waterfox are all I’ll ever need.

Ah I see, ty

If you’re on Android why not just use revanced or Newpipe? Both are excellent and I haven’t had issues with revanced since this change.

Yeahhh here’s to hoping someone AURs it 😅

Yep! Note that if you end up running Cromite on Windows and want auto-updates, you’ll have to download and set up a shortcut with chrlauncher as well as a custom config file. Only takes a few minutes though and works great once set up.

Personally I used Bromite and switched to Cromite. Still the best mobile browser for Android IMO.

ABP built-in, userscript support, privacy/security enhancements, option for bottom address/tab bar, etc.

Problem is, it could end up going the way of Bromite as well, which would mean searching for a new browser again.

I’m excited for Waterfox Android, whenever that releases, as I switched back to Waterfox for my desktop browser recently, but there hasn’t been any word on that lately so no clue when that’ll happen.

Edit to add that I also love that Cromite has a desktop version. I always wanted a desktop version of Bromite, and I now have Cromite set up alongside Waterfox in case I need a chromium browser for compatibility. Once Waterfox Android releases, I’ll have the perfect browser setup.

Yes, a wiki is an EXCELLENT idea. IDK if there are any plans to add wiki functionality on Lemme, but man it’d be nice.

Imagining the Mozilla AI as a personified Firefox and Thunderbird fighting off Cortana, some BARD (sorry) and a bunch of generic evil corporate AIs just makes me excited that Mozilla would be the one fending everyone off.

What’s the best way to export everything? The name of the theme I used is in the info panel there but if there’s a way for me to export everything as I have it set I’m happy to help.

Otherwise I can get all the names of the different themes for ya.

No I mean things like settings applets/notification tray/widget functionality being better integrated into the overall desktop environment.

And customizing just results in less “jank” than Gnome. IDK how else to describe it, but it just feels like a DE that was actually designed with functionality over looks. Not to say I think it looks bad, but there’s definitely less emphasis on “looking nice” over having the most robust experience, which I appreciate.

I do also like the broad strokes similarities to Windows just because things are where I expect a little more, but not really what I meant by mature, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, just feels much more mature/functional, it’s really nice.

As a long-time Windows user, things like settings or notifications are laid out much more logically, as well as I feel like everything in KDE is just a little better integrated than Gnome. Also a lot faster for me to get it to a point where I feel like I like it, and it seems to use a lot less system resources (although it’s been a couple years since I daily’d linux, so it’s possible that’s different on Gnome these days).

But otherwise I don’t have a whole lot of specifics, it just feels a lot more mature in general, like I don’t have to search for anything I need DE-wise, it’s always right where I’d expect and extremely well-built. And any extra functionality from add-ins works nicely.

Anyone know of a way to “mate” widgets to the taskbar on KDE? So that when I hit the super button I get my widgets popping over any active apps…

I searched for a while and couldn’t find anything, but if anyone got any special sauce I’d love to know.

Edit: just noticed the extra start menu on the right side - lol that’s where that went

Strange, I’ve had the opposite experience. I remember early on 11 was really bad and buggy in general so I waited to move my main install, but it’s been fantastic for me on laptop and desktop.

Granted, I’m very particular about my Windows installs and know how to clean everything up pretty well, so I have no idea how out of box experience compares, but at least with how I use it, 11 has been fantastic, performance has been much more consistent, I don’t need to reboot as often, and it lasted way longer before I felt the need for a fresh install than any of my 10 installations.

I still have certain things I’m not able to entirely fix that bug me (still searching for a way to remove the stupid Office 365 ad from the settings homepage) that weren’t in Windows 10, but the settings in 11 are overall SO much better, window snapping is way better, explorer is way better, HDR support is way better, multi-monitor support is better, default apps in general are better, it’s becoming easier to remove built-in apps you don’t want, and just a whole bunch of small QOL changes and updated, more consistent styling, it’s just a much nicer OS to use at this point.

If you haven’t tried it yet, Tiny11 23H2 just came out, and while there’s still some stuff I fixed after installation, it does an excellent job of trimming most of the fat off Win11 without sacrificing usability. You can use Windows update like normal (and you’ll have to update after install) but it may be worth another try if you haven’t tried 11 recently. IMO it’s a really nice upgrade over 10 if you can fix all the little annoyances like the new right-click and such. (BloatyNosy on GitHub is what I use post-install, in addition to a few powershell commands and such)
