  • I’ve had the unload flag enabled in about: config for months.

    Haven’t used the update yet but there are several related flags to change the appearance and behavior of unloaded tabs in there as well.

    Tab groups are another thing I was using for a while, they still hide some flags to enable some options. Again, there are some neat flags associated with this in about: config.

    There are also some hidden peefs for backing up your data that would be cool if they pushed them.

    Sometimes it fewls lkke I probably spend more time tweaking flags than I do using the browser.

    I use the release version, not nightly or developer. But you can usually find some future features in there. Some good, some not. YMMV.

    As always - Use caution.

    I really enjoy graphene and the separate user profiles with no google integration.

    If a google app, or something from play store is needed they’ve developed a compatability layer and sandbox for play services and store.

    It’s a lot of security toggles and permissions.

    But not having Google sucking your data at every level of the OS is great.

    Wirh the isolated profiles, you can still have a fully googled system which you can fully lockdown at anytime, while having a pure aosp high security profile.

    It’s fdroid and Izzy/codeberg and ironfox and termux and a few other repos on main.

    I don’t do snap/insta/meta/etc and have no need for apps that drain my soul, anyway.

    Anyway, yeah, google fucking sucks.











  • My first real ‘community’ online was mp3.com. When I joined I was like the 132nd person on that site. It was such an incredible thing back then. People could post their own music, get feedback, promote, find a label, and get paid for streams/downloads.

    I actually earned money from my music while chatting with future mega stars like Darude and Dido.

    I got some real world tracks out there, had my stuff played from Australia to Canada, and there was a time I could walk into a club and hear my music being played.

    Surreal thinking about it now.

    I’ve never had that kind of connection or sense of belonging online since.


  • My blazing fast 26k baud modem had my friends and I connecting …(mom, I’m on the computer!)…connecting… (BeepBongBoobBeeereREEEEEEEEEEEE Pingping ding eoooohhhhh bding) connecting to the greatest BBS with color ascii to play the newest text based space trade war adventure games !!!

    As a 10 year old, though, it was never about meeting people. It was just cool and fun.
