Bypass paywalls clean update issues
Although my version of Bypass hasn't been updated for over a year, it has been working fine.
But my latest attempt to read the New York Times indicates that it has been detected and/or blocked.
When I try to update it via gitflic.ru/ I can't seem to manually update it either. Firefox says the file is corrupt when I drag it into the browser or update (add) file via settings.
I'm assuming it's because it's a zip file but when I unzip the folder there are no files in there that firefox recognises for me to add (only a changelog, licence and readme).
Can someone please clarify - for me and anyone else likely to encounter similar issues in the future - what I might be doing wrong.
thank you!

Emoji problems
I can't see emojis anymore, they don't work on librewolf.
I first noticed this under a post titled something like "try telling a story using only emojis". The comments were empty.
If I open the same page in brave browser, they work as intended. I can't see emojis in apps like libreoffice either. Is there a way to get system-wide emoji support?

I had a similar thing happen recently following a NixOS upgrade. I wonder if it's something that changed in Firefox.
In my case, the solution was to set useEmbeddedBitmaps = true in fontconfig. Which is unlikely to be directly helpful to you on Fedora, but maybe there's an equivalent option somewhere?

Bring a sign or the US Flag if you have one.
For privacy reasons you may want to avoid bringing your phone, or place it inside a faraday bag (a really well sealed tinfoil pouch will work, and put it in airplane mode to avoid draining your battery) until you get home.
If you have a first aid kit, it wouldn't hurt to bring it, just in case.

Beaverton/Hillsboro line, OR
I have a confession. Every single photograph before this one was captured on either an iPhone 6+, or an iPhone 11 Pro Max.
For a very, very long time, I had justified to myself “oh, I don’t need an actual camera, my phone is just as good.” However, three weeks ago I picked up a DSLR for the first time and I fell in love with the sheer power and expression such a tool has.
So I got a small one, a baby, a Canon Rebel T7. After a bunch of crappy shots because I was still getting used to it, I think this one is good enough to share. It doesn’t meet the par of my previous work, but it feels like I have much more control over what I create now. This is magnificent and wondrous.
Thank you for seeing me make art with actual relevant tools!

in reply to HappyFrog • • •No, you use one as the backup. That's why I said use JShelter, but if a site breaks beyond use, switch IPs and then reload with NoScript instead to be more selective of what is blocked and what's not. That way I can still block Cloudflare and Google and Apple and still let the actual site load. And JScreep seems (for me, YMMV) to treat each as distinct fingerprints.
IMO if you know you can have multiple fingerprint profiles anyway based on which combo of extensions you use that do roughly the same job, that's a net benefit.

I don't think it hurts to still use it, just as a belt and braces approach, but I suppose it's possible it makes your browser fingerprint more unique.

- Copy Link Text : Adds an option in the right click menu to copy the text of a link
- Markdown Reader: Show formatted markdown. I tried several extensions for this and this is the one I prefer personally. It has an index panel on the left which is sooo useful.
Category "Preserving your mental health online" :
- uBlock Origin: You really need to block those ads
- Consent-O-Matic: Never see a cookie pop-up again in your life (it auto accepts or refuse in your place).
- SponsorBlock: Skips Youtube sponsorships. You can define which ones you want to skip and which you want to watch (paid ads, self promo, etc)
- Return Youtube Dislike: Show the number of dislikes on videos. It's not a real number, it's extrapolated based on how many people with the app have clicked dislike.
- Youtube No Translate: Keeps titles, descriptions and audio tracks in their original language
Category "Usefull" :
- KeePassXC-Browser: To access your password database from your browser
- Whatever fingerprinting protection you can find (Canvas, Fonts, WebGL, etc.. half those I used have been pulled, haven't found a replacement for all of them)
Category "Would be nice if..." :
- A user agent switcher... if you want all websites to block you 😑
- NoScript: Block javascript and create custom rules to allow it only when and where you want. Or the reverse. It was great a few years ago but I've stopped using it because websites require allowing more and more otherwise nothing works and it's hell can we cancel javascript please?
- Dark Reader: Dark mode for all websites. Can make some websites unreadable, but you can turn it off for that website. Makes everything much slower though so I don't use it.

Now, I completely understand why you wouldn't want to spend hours tweaking settings and reading Mozilla's source code forms to get stuff to work, so if that's the reason for switching then I get it. But you can absolutely change the config settings, unlike vanilla Android Firefox which doesn't enable about:config

in reply to kingpepe8006 • • •I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little bit of an extensions hoarder, which is bad for fingerprinting 😣, but I seriously do use the extra ones.
Vital:
uBlock - obviously, some people even suggest to only use this extension and nothing else to reduce fingerprinting. Make sure to enable those filters! Also check out the advanced mode, eliminates the need for NoScript.
Not Vital But Really Good To Have:
LibRedirect - Never worry again about visiting the original social media site, you can immediately be redirected to a proxy version of the site that doesn't stalk you. Great when I'm forced to click a Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, etc. link. Unfortunately, some proxy services are dead (Instagram, Tiktok, Invidious is always under threat, etc.)
Bitwarden - Password manager
Dark Reader - Nice, especially on fingerprint resisting browsers like Librewolf that don't let your browser/sites see your system settings to automatically pick the dark mode of a website. Have singed my eyes a couple times.
For Language Learners (like me):
Yomitan - The GOAT of tools, a popup dictionary that can be used to instantly look up the definition of a word in your target language, and connects with Anki, a flashcard app. I use it for making vocabulary cards from Japanese media I consume. Literally all the other resources are meant to be paired with this.
Asbplayer - Lets you add subtitles to whatever media you're streaming and makes the text selectable. Paired with Yomitan, you can easily make Anki flashcards from the TV/Movies/Videos you watch.
Lap Clipboard Inserter - By using a clipboard extension with Textractor, you can hook a game/visual novel and auto-copy all the game text to a webpage, which can be paired with Yomitan (you guessed it!) to look up words. You have to turn it on for individual pages, so don't worry about it constantly stalking you.
Neat, But Random:
Mastodon Streetpass - Helps you figure out if a person is on Mastodon by looking for a custom link on their site. Collects a list of them and tells you the date that it found the account. Basically just browse as usual and it will passively collect a list.

in reply to coracoral • • •Yep, I used Fedora Kinoite now! I originally used Fedora Silverblue, but that used GNOME + Wayland, and I dropped it cause spectacle couldn't take screenshots in a Wayland based system. I switched to Kinoite because it uses Plasma instead. I don't know if Wayland causes clipboard issues, as I never tested/got that far when trying to make Silverblue work. I just rebased cause I couldn't get ShareX (the tool I used while on Windows) to work with WINE.
I use my clipboard tool with FF and have little to no issues there. The only thing I will note is, Textractor hooks the sentences a little weirdly. None of the hooks are perfect, the best one I can find that isn't complete gibberish is a hook that simply copies the sentence twice. All the others repeat characters in a sentence like 50 times, so they're unsalvageable. Not sure if it's a browser hook thing, or a trying to force Windows apps in weird ways thing, but it's not as smooth as a process compared to native Windows 😅

in reply to Novaling • • •At least from my research, Kinoite is Wayland. I think you can go to KDE (Plasma) settings, find the "About this System" page and it should say "Graphics Platform: Wayland". GNOME and KDE are desktop environments, X11 and Wayland are display managers (I think of them like rendering engines).Though it's true that Spectacle has issues on Wayland, apparently all screenshot apps do, due to security restrictions and slow development. But Spectacle works great on KDE because Spectacle is made by KDE, and gets special privileges when run on KDE desktop. Same with GNOME screenshot when run on GNOME desktop. Third-party screenshot tools don't get these privileges and don't work well on either (at least when using Wayland), you can read more about it here: github.com/ksnip/ksnip/issues/…
As far as Textractor goes, I haven't had any issues with text hooking, but from my experience it heavily depends on the game, and I've only tested 2 games on linux so far. But if I'm reading you correctly...are you using Firefox inside WINE?
