Not really paying attention, no problem here.

Pretty sure only the filesystem will change - so if you are synchronised as a backup, just zip up that folder and pull out what you need for the new install. I had no issues re-installing with BTRFS from ext4 and restoring a backup file a few months back.

Also, I'd say definitely stop using these for passwords, if you use Bitwarden or something similar then you can have the same stuff for your phones/tablets/computers everywhere that don't rely on local files.

If I start a session somewhere outside my home environment, I can pull up Bitwarden and log in with no issues - nothing saved to the browser and no conflicts between phone/desktop etc (e.g. icloud passwords clashing with ones I use on my desktop - I use Bitwarden on an iphone too).

That all depends on how, and the context in which it's done. My first girlfriend would spend hours tickling my back in between sessions - I never forgot those sunny days.

Now with more aggressive tickling - it is akin to a violent attack, and my father used to tickle me until I couldn't stand it, and then push some more. Often it ended with me in tears... so with my son, sometimes I'll grab a foot and start tickling it like mad - but I have a MUCH shorter cutoff time so that it ends with him laughing.

So it's not simple - but consent is a huge issue.

So really, it's not just me that found him to be producing smarmy and careless content? My first views were of his various challenges - where they consistently 'proved' that people can't do things in an OS that they don't have experience with, which means they'd be better off doing it in a much worse OS that they used since they were kids - and therefore it's better.

I really liked Nexus's video - though it didn't help me as I wouldn't waste time on LTT. I don't like or trust these coroporate video mills, any more than I trust Google/Youtube - they don't give a toss as long as the money flows and they didn't get sued.

New Tabs I have Firefox Home with no search bar - just some shortcut icons to supplement the bookmarks bar which also pops up on new tabs.

ROFLMAO

In Firefox, if you press ctrl+N you open a new window featuring - wait for it - a NEW TAB.

Being out of the loop, try copying the text New Tabs pressing Alt + e + n and paste it in there to search.

Just default, but with CSS to remove the fake search bar.

This is a very messed up article.

The problem isn't that Firefox loses when it tries to copy Chrome. The problem is that, due to popularity and massively larger userbase, it is Chrome which sets habits used in browsers - and so with something like 'reopen last tab' function being different in Firefox is a problem for 1000 Chrome users but only 1 Firefox user.

The actual bug here is #1 Nearly Everyone Learned to use Chrome. They learn new, they learn bad, and in their ignorance, they blame the (sometimes original and better) Firefox for being wrong.

I did enjoy Vivaldi for that reason, though, you could do 'hide UI'. Whilst all the controls/tabs/URLbar were still there, they got hidden. It LOOKED exactly like a webapp - but without creating a separate profile for the website in question.

If I want to isolate (which I generally do with a separate user/profile) then I'll do it that way... so if I really wanted a separate 'Amazon' application, it'd be firefox -p Amazon.

Having a separate shortcut in Firefox to HIDE UI would definitely be nice.

I still need someone to fully explain to me why they want some way to pretend a website is an application.

Especially as, when I tried using PWA (so I could open, for example, Lazada PWA as if it was a specific application instead of just Lazada running in Firefox) the only benefit was that - erm - it worked in it's own profile, without any add-ons from the main browser profile.

For this, I can simply use the WebApp manager https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager - yet I find that right now I only have a single one which is in use (that's the Plex Web interface which I bound to open with a mouse gesture).

Take that away and - well, I just hit menu, type 'ple' and see the Firefox bookmark - Enter to open that.

Hardly really worth the resources and efforts for a tiny minority when a browser is struggling to survive.
