Hi
I just tried this Palemoone. No, it just fills the RAM and it seems as if Palemoon doesn’t have a browser cache or the algorithms are totally bad. When I want to play a video, the RAM load goes up to almost 100% and the swap is also filled, WITHOUT the video starting. No chance with 1GB RAM!
If antiX is interested in offering users with low RAM computers a good and modern browser, then there is no way around Opera! I don’t know what these people are doing, but the result is impressive! No other browser handles the memory and cache so efficiently! With a swappiness of 40, I can open up to 8 tabs without long waiting times (5-10 seconds). Show me the browser that can do that with 1GB RAM and a swapfile of 1GB!
If you want to test it, I’ll try to send my Opera settings here as an attachment. Otherwise you have to test yourself.

I’m glad to hear Opera works well for you.
I don’t know what these people are doing, but the result is impressive!
No-one will know since it is closed source and that is why antiX will not ship with it out-of-the-box.
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

That’s why we’re here man.I’ll take a lil Mailspring over Mozilla but on some it needs a snap. Haven’t tried it on antiX at all.
It would be too easy if the excellent would pass the code on to everyone. Then where would the motivation for others be to do better? But you could take a closer look at the Opera team and their training. In most countries universities are free and anyone can study mathematics or algorithms and data structures. Even the father of Linux went the way of the university, or Linux would never have become a successful OS, which far overshadows other OS created by those who have not studied.
Well, but antiX itself has to know how it will end.

Thanx Xecure, Pale Moon is v29.4.1 now.

Hi ventus, may I suggest that in most cases with low powered machines download and play video, if legal. is less ram hungry
than a browser.
Watch using you tube video player (smtube), acts as a a frontend to mpv you can also drop an url in to MPV.
less system load than in a browser. VLC can also be fed with an url to a stream or video.
streamlight-antix is yet another useful tool.As a browser palemoon is fine, I do not use it to watch video, just to find the content i am wanting to watch..

Librewolf DRM Compatibility
Digital rights management (DRM) is enforced off by default (this is needed for Netflix and similar); you can enable it with the following instructions:Open librewolf.cfg (/usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg)
Comment the active lines with // under the subsection User Settings: DRM/CDM – Widevine ->
//lockPref(“media.gmp-widevinecdm.visible”, false);
//lockPref(“media.gmp-widevinecdm.enabled”, false);
//lockPref(“media.gmp-widevinecdm.autoupdate”, false);Restart librewolf then open about:preferences and enable Play DRM… under general section
librewolf will download Widevine and enable it (under about:addons plugins section) you can force the download by clicking Check for updates under the tools buttonplus some useful addons: https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/docs/addons/
Firefox and Librewolf
Favicons can be used as supercookies so recommended to go to
about:config ->browser.chrome.site_icons -> toggle “false”
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.favicon -> toggle “false”PPC
Favicons can be used as supercookies
What the…???
Thanks for this one. I didn0t know that!
The way tech is turning into a police state, I can see a future where people will get the news from newspapers, their fiction from TV or from going to the cinema, or reading paper books, listen only to music that plays over the radio, get their time from wind up clocks, play games from old non updatable cd-roms, or better yet, cartridges, better yet, from actual boardgames!… talk to their friends and family over a land-line, watch porn from old VHS tapes, etc, etc, etc, It will be fun, the 2030’s will look just like the 1980’s but with landfields filled to the brim with smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, netbooks, laptops, desktops, smart columns…
…Yeah… keep dreaming, P… 🙂P.
Hi PPC,
if some of the EU plans go through we will be living on those landfills, No way in the world that all houses can tear out heating systems and renew them, pack old house in death styrofoam, it molds like hell inside. If styro burns, even a tiny piece the house should be sealed due dioxin.Companys like Mercedes, VW and others get Billions in tax money, Make huge payouts to shareholders while normal citizens are being driven to ruin. that is Mafia plus, Very very dangerous.
I think the pocket etc in fox is very tricky, against users. Synch too. Use a mozilla VPN, no way. Our data brings big big money.
Hidden remotely usable screenshot tool, remotely removable privacy extensions, moz can change settings remotely, about;config settings too so watch your user.js
every update. It will often get quietly replaced. It damages Bakkers business model.Check spelling as you type sends every keystroke to mozilla, it is on by default.
Side note, Bakker is now milking Mozilla Foundation to the tune of ,250,000 USD plus perks, A Month… That data is not latest so maybe she is robbing more now.
Journalists from Heise, they publish Ct, asked what happens to the rest of the 350 Million from Google plus untold millions from Apple. Mozilla refused to answer.
An interesting article: Why you should switch Beacon enabled to OFF in Firefox, or Palemoon Possible.
LibreWolf has the preference locked disabled which is nice.
Google Chrome used to have a chrome://flags/#disable-hyperlink-auditing
I have only ungoogled chromium, the setting is not available, blocking the beacon mechanism is a job for uBlock.The beacon api is still in heavy usage.
Maybe Useful for Chrome Chromium users, I think below command prefixes still work when starting the browser.
–incognito (private browsing by default)
–disable-background-networking (disable additional network requests)
–disable-reading-from-canvas (disables reading canvas for fingerprinting)
–disable-3d-apis (disables webgl for fingerprinting)
Google “Callbacks”
use the internal network monitor of Chromium to unmask what domains were being communicated with on a regular basis. This is located at chrome://net-export and was a very helpful tool. It will log a .json file to your disk that contains all network traffic inside the browser.Above does work in Ungoogled Chromium. Block anything which annoys you with etc/hosts
Remember if you only block anIPV4 adress the Browser will just use IPV6 so you must do both to acheive any effect.Both Ungoogled Chromium and Librewolf have been updated.
Usual caveats 64 Bit only and in Ungoogled Chromium if you experience crashing or freezing switch off hardware acceleration.
The tip above applies to all chrome based browsers plus chrome itself. Recently experienced problems with Vivaldi, same fix..

In my opinion, I am happy for the many alternatives, both free and non-free. Also for all the comments about using our data for profit, imagine the issues with Microsoft and Apple products!
I’d rather let Mozilla use my data before MSFT or APPL any day. Actually I have more against Apple than I do Microsoft. Apple uses and modifies free software, and only rarely contributes free software and they charge exorbitant prices for hardware and software.
Microsoft used to criticize free software; in recent years they’re sharing more software and behaving more like a partner. They still sell commercial hardware and software. I don’t mind that. We need the choice of free and proprietary; both have a legitimate place.
I still value free stuff, but I have always said that choice is good.

Brian MasinickPlease keep this thread clean.
Apple pays Mozilla for user data along with google. Policy at Microsoft is Embrace and destroy.
The present MS boss has repeatedly called linux the biggest threat to the business model and a scourge.
He is repeating what those who came before hiom said…Further opinions and non browser facts please post in Cafenio.
There are some interesting links on a LibreWolf site page,
https://librewolf.net/docs/testing/In browser comparisons LibreWolf shows a great deal of care has been taken to have the browser respect to user privacy and security.
Performance wise it seems pretty much up with google chrome, one of the least privacy respecting offers.
UngoogledChromium is as expected as good as google chrome in performance and among the most privacy respecting browsers available for linux.
