if you havent switched over to firefox, i recommend you do. unlike chrome and other browsers, firefox does not use your personal data to cater ads to you, and its way more customizable. and, since the start of 2023, add-ons including adblockers can no longer be used. im hoping this post can be a sort of guide people can use if they want to start using firefox

to start off, you can import your bookmarks and other data (like logins and saved passwords) with this easy tutorial. and if it hasnt asked you yet, you can make it your default browser like this. i also recommend making an account in case you ever want to log in from another device or anything happens to your computer. with this option, you can choose which data syncs to all devices and which doesnt.

just as a disclaimer (i am adding this on april 15th 2023, over 3 months after i published the post) this information is bound to change, and some addons and settings may become obsolete or redundant, with firefox adding more privacy-friendly settings, or removing available addons. i will update the post accordingly.

last updated: august 27th, 2024

settings

these are things i recommend you do in settings. at the same time, you can also customize your settings any way you want to.

1. in the ‘general’ tab

‘make firefox your default browser’

check for updates to be automatically installed (its near the bottom)

2. ‘home’ tab

scroll down to ‘shortcuts’ and uncheck ‘sponsored shortcuts’

3. ‘search’ tab

make duckduckgo your default search engine

4. ‘privacy and security’ tab

standard security is fine, but strict doesnt hurt either. as it says, it may cause some sites to break, but ive found that barely any do. you can always switch back to standard security if you come across any problems

under ‘website privacy preferences’, select both options

under ‘firefox data collection and use’, i recommend unchecking the first one

under ‘website advertising preferences’, uncheck it

under ‘https-only mode’, enable https-only mode in all windows. again, if a website happens to not work, you can always go back to disable https-only mode

if you want to further customize your experience, you can go to about:config and mess with the settings on there, although you will need to be careful with some, as they can severely impact your firefox experience. some of the settings you can change are:

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style to change the scrollbar style. the available parameters are 1-5

browser.tabs.tabClipwidth set to 999 if you want only the active tab to have a close button

extensions.pocket.enabled set to disabled so that pocket doesnt show up

browser.backspace_action set to 0 to use the backspace button as a button to go back webpages.

here are all the about:config entries, i recommend leaving most be, but some can be useful to customize.

add-ons

THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE is uBlock origin. if you dont want to use any addons, and/or don’t like them for whatever reason, please please please get this one at the least. its not only an adblocker, but also blocks most unwanted content on any website. if any content on a website is bothering you, you can disable it by right-clicking it and checking ‘block element’, for example.

to get rid of cookie warnings, you can simply go to uBlock origin settings, and under “filter lists”, scroll down to the “ads” section and check the boxes for “AdGuard Base” and “EasyList”. This does the same function as the add-on “i don’t care about cookies” (which is no longer recommended). under the “annoyances” section (further down than the “ads” section), you can check off all of them, but if you dont feel like checking them all, the most important ones are “AdGuard Annoyances“ and “uBlock filters-Annoyances“

firefox multi-account containers. if you use multiple accounts on a same website, this is for you. you can be logged in to two tumblrs at the same time with this addon, for example.

facebook container. similar to the last addon i recommended, this one isolates all facebook-related activity

now. youre seeing this post on tumblr. which might also mean that you use tumblr web. well, you should probably add xkit rewritten then. it lets you completely hide filtered posts, has a mutual checker, gets rid of the ‘youre caught up’ bar, and many more things

bypass paywalls clean. lets you get through paywalls. it’s also updated frequently, adding websites with paywalls

instead of the addon (it was deleted from the firefox store i believe), you can copy this link (not the text on page it takes you to, just the link!) into the text field you get when clicking on ‘insert’ at the bottom of the ‘my filters’ page on ublock origin settings.

bitwarden. open-source password saver and generator. make an account and save all your account passwords. also generates passwords. with this, you only need to remember your master password, and bitwarden does the rest, really

tab session manager. lets you save all the windows that you close, in case that you ever accidentally close out of a window. that way you can recover all your tabs

terms of service; didnt read. lets you know about a websites terms of service. summarizes the basics point by point

clearURLs. cleans urls of any tracking elements

you can avoid having one more addon by copying this link and following the same instructions as for bypass paywalls clean

there are many more extensions you can use, here are the ones that the firefox team recommends

i also recommend using firefox on mobile, especially android, since you can use add-ons with it too. again, i recommend using uBlock Origin. it is not as customizable on mobile but its still extremely useful. since the beginning of this year, firefox for android has over 1000 addons available. for iOS users, if you want ad-less browsing, you can install firefox focus, although its not nearly as customizable as firefox for android.

i hope this guide is useful for anyone wanting to make the switch!

a british person that's aware of history in the peninsula and treats our culture with respect and actually makes an effort to learn our culture(s)........ this is almost unheard of honestly

Here are also some posts I've written about Chanovas, and the impact of water dams in Aragon in general. link 1 link 2

Here's the recipe he uses, if anyone is curious:

-200g of lentils -1 ham bone (cured) -100g morcilla and/or chorizo -1 leek -1 onion -1 garlic clove -1 tomato -100g mushrooms -Olive oil -1/2 a small glass of moscatell/aguardiente/anise liquor Finely chop onion and leek, gently sweat down in olive oil, and season. Add tomato, gently reduce until thick. Add chopped mushrooms and cook for a few minutes. Add the lentils and stir to toast a little. Add the ham bone and water to cover, cook until soft (30 minutes to an hour) Fry the chorizo and/or morcilla. Add, along with a drop of liquor for the final 5 minutes.

Video transcription:

[Tiktok by user @/petes.pans: Just like these Aragonese lentils, the Pyreneean village of Jánovas should be underwater. In the 1950s, plans for a dam threatened to drown the town but the people here stood firm for many years, unwilling to abandon their village, refusing to be washed away by a powerful corporation driven by profit over people. But just as these lentils simmer slowly, the people of Jánovas simmered in quiet defiance, only succumbing when the corporation used dynamite to turn most of the village into ruins.

For these Aragonese lentils from Jánovas, here's what you'll need (recipe on screen, written above). Morcilla, blood sausage, or chorizo, or both, up to you. Nearly forgot, one or two of these Spanish cured ham bones add great depth of flavor to the lentils. If not available, I'd use chicken stock instead of water.

Now you may be wondering why I'm not currently underwater. Well, despite the destruction and displacement, the dam project was never carried out. After years of resistance from the villagers, and changing economic priorities, the plans were simply abandoned. The waters that would drown Jánovas never came, it was all a waste, needless suffering inflicted for nothing. One or two families remained until quite recently, they lived in a ruined village amongst the rubble, enduring harsh conditions and isolation.

And now, just as the descendants of the original villagers are little by little slowly restoring what was lost, these Aragonese lentils have been simmering patiently and ready to be savored. A powerful taste of Aragonese culinary tradition, and heartfelt tribute to local resilience.]

if this is what it takes.... i guess???

hi! so today i found out that tumblr has a setting to turn off its ability to sell your personal information to third parties. i dont know how long this option has been there, but i'm 99% sure that it's unfortunately only available in the EU. it is automatically turned off (meaning you give tumblr its permission to sell your personal data)

to turn it on you have to go to settings -> privacy (link to the privacy settings, for your convenience), then click here:

again, it should be turned on to make sure Tumblr/Automattic does not sell your data to third-party sites. i would appreciate a reblog to spread the word to other people living in the EU!

occitan is now available on google translate.... at the cost of using ai for it

google translate has incorporated 110 new languages to its translator, including breton, occitan, or sami, for example. thanks to its ai language model, it has relative ease to learn languages that are related to each other.

if you do not want to use google and/or diminish the use of ai, other translators such as apertium, softcatala, or deepl are available (albeit with less languages)
