And I posted the new-new #librewolf for #slackwareaarch64 build 147.0.3-2 package. Tasty stuff. https://slackware.lngn.net/

Found a gem for YouTube (V3 extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/v3-get-old-youtube-layout/) — which brings the old interface (from the start of XXI century) back. It is more clean, if it is even possible to say "clean" about YouTube interface, and also it is faster as hell than the "modern" one.

On the my box (Thinkpad X220 with i7, 16 Gb of RAM) the usual YouTube lags as hell, even while I'm scrolling. The old interface — works almost instantly, lol.

I was asked about the @Vivaldi Browser. It is a powerful tool and has some nice features, but I cannot recommend it because it is not fully open source. Following GNU Freedom 1, I believe users must have the right to study and change their software, not just audit some of the files.

With Firefox now introducing a one click AI opt out in version 148, it remains the superior recommendation for people who value privacy and code transparency over proprietary UI features. Don't get me wrong, I am completely #NoAI but knowing a browser has a toggle I can verify is better than trusting a corporation’s word.

Vivaldi claims only 5% is proprietary, yet they keep it closed to prevent forks. They benefit from the open-source community while intentionally blocking others from doing the same. That is hypocritical.

For most people, @librewolf and @zenbrowser remain my top recommendations.

Notable Changes:

Thanks to our two new core contributors (<3) we've now fully moved our CI and main release artifacts to @Codeberg! (this might be relevant to check for any downstream packagers) and managed to tackle a whole bunch of other long-open issues!

@rysiek
Michal, are there Firefox extensions that are compatible with LibreWolf?
For example, I use the tab management app OneTab, and would like to be able to continue using it -- or an alternative -- should I switch to LibreWolf.
I hope you'll be able to tell me that most addons created for Firefox also work in Librewolf, and I'll be off to the races.
