I’ve been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

    @Atemu This is why, for me, Firefox is unreplaceable on Android. Just the fact that’s not Chromium + also supports extensions is what makes it superior.
    I wish that it’ll come pre-installed in phones instead of Chrome, so more people can give it a try. But is Android and Google would never allow that.

        The question is, did they get your comment? You didn’t @ them. Does Mastodon know how to interpret and exchange replies from Lemmy if it doesn’t use @ tagging?

          @deweydecibel @Sekoia Yes, I got your reply without @ me. ActivityPub works in mysterious ways.
          For example: I can create new posts on Lemmy/Kbin, but those posts can be only text. I still haven’t figured out how to post images.

            it could be because lemmy (maybe kbin??) doesnt copy the embedded data, only the text, maybe mestadon works differently? so the images dont come across?

            What in the heck?

            Whenever I try to open a Lemmy community or user profile from mastodon, I see their profile but no posts are displayed 😢

            @Undearius @deweydecibel Nice! Now you have created an #Inception kind of post.
            Piece of advice boys. When you make posts on Lemmy/Kbin put at the end of it some #hashtags related to the post’s topic. So it can be indexable for Mastodon and Pixelfed users.
            I as a Mastodon user can see posts from Pixelfed users due to their diligence of using hashtags.

            This is something easy that can improve post discoverability and also you’ll get more user interaction.

              It would be interesting to see some automation there, like having default tags for a community. It would be kinda silly to post something c/firefox and have to tag #firefox too.

      Too bad the sandboxing is not working. I use Vanadium right now but Firefox on desktop. I would switch instantly if they beefed up security.

      Firefox is all I ever used on desktops and I would love to install Firefox on Android, but until they let me set a custom homepage it’s not an option. I can’t be arsed to make an extra click to get to my selfhosted dashboard which has links to all my most frequented sites and services. It’s a fundamental function, so how they have not fixed it is beyond me. Until then I’m using Kiwi which is Chromium based but it is open source, has built in ad blocking, and also supports extensions like uBlock Origin. And I’m pretty sure it was the first Android browser to have the bottom address bar.

        Wait, I can change my homepage URL on iPhone. I find it hard to believe that’s an option exclusive to iPhone.

        Edit: it’s at the bottom of the settings>homepage tab

            Sorry, I didn’t mean “I can’t believe” as in “I think you’re lying” but “I can’t believe” as in “what an absurd feature to leave out on android”.

          I hope Apple will relax the rules on web browsers in order for Firefox to use their own engine instead of WebKit. New EU laws will put more pressure on Big Tech.

        That is odd. Firefox Nightly at least has an Add to Homescreen option to put a shortcut to the current URL on your homescreem. Then you could put that icon where you want it.
