Pre buy out, Opera was kind of moving towards what Proton is doing now.

Now Vivaldi sets to continue that trajectory.

It’s weird that Mozilla didn’t. If they do it now they’ll look like copycats, and they’ve burnt a lot of supporters with their TOS boogaloo it would take a lot from them to claw back some of those supporters

Copying the profile folder should do it

You should also copy profiles.ini (which indicates the path of the working/available profiles)

I see, thank you. That seems to be what I found out when I researched this as well.

If they are too behind the version that the profile is from then there might be “forwards compatibility” issues

Good point. I’m still using Mozilla’s firefox, but am planning to try out Zen Browser, or go with Waterfox if Zen’s Arc Browser style isn’t up to my needs. For example, I’m very happy with the sideberry add-on on firefox.

I mean after Valve released the Steam Deck, Asus, Lenovo, MSI–to name just a few–followed suit with at least an iteration. Asus has the Ally and Ally X, Lenovo now have 3 models, and MSI only has 1.

I can’t recall if there are any other big brands handheld PCs, but there’s definitely Chinese ones.

Agreed. But I’m glad it’s native to desktop Firefox now. Grouping tabs in desktop works for me to hide the hundreds of tabs I keep to tens of groups 🤪

Good point. I’ll try invizible.

I chose NextDNS when Android supports custom DNS. And dont wamt to run a “VPN” all the time. It just works for my threat model.

Found out about it from Tech Lore. Customizing the filters just felt natural since that’s what I do with ublock anyways

PIA I use for torrenting as well so I don’t think I’ll ever stop that subscription

From the description:

InviZible Pro is an all-in-one program. After installing it, you can easily delete all of your VPN applications and ad blockers. In most cases, InviZible Pro works better, is more stable, and faster than free VPNs.

Obviously it would be better than free VPN services. But I’m wondering how it would stack with my current set up. I already paid for NextDNS and PIA. Usually I don’t run PIA unless I want to access spicy stuff. And 99.999% my NextDNS stuff works fine.

I’d love to pay less but I also want to know what I’m trading for it

Agreed. At least there are efforts to salvage it.

I use Thunder on Android for my lemmy.zip account.

Interstellar for my kbin.earth and fedia.io accounts.

Trying out piefed with piefed.social because of their Topics and custom feeds. No “release ready” mobile apps yet, but IIRC either Interstellar or Thunder is trying out supporting piefed.

I think I’m going to like piefed for the custom feeds. That’s my most missed function from reddit, the multireddits. Their default Topics works well enough, but I have my opinions on it, and piefed allow I can set my own.

I don’t really use other fedithings. I’m like the normies, I want some kind of algo-feeding for microblogging and whatever instagram is categorised as, except for the threadiverse/reddit-like.
