New on the market / Fresh from the repos

^ you had a good run Wuxie, held out well, but you know as well as I do that you've been toeing the line for a long time. I've tolerated it because I think you're such a nice chap, but if you decide to cross it in such a blatant and disrespectful way as you just did here, you leave me no choice.

Firefox 29 has been released, with the new Chrome-ish interface. Functions well, and even seems faster than the previous version, at least on the Macs.

True, it seems faster than before. The new layout forced me to add this snippet to .vimperatorrc to hide the navigation bar.

Code: Select all

map <silent> <F2> :js toggle_navbar()<CR>
:js << EOF
function toggle_navbar() {
    var nb = document.getElementById('nav-bar');
    if (!nb)
        return;
    nb.style.visibility = (nb.style.visibility == '') ? 'collapse' : '';
    nb.style.overflow = (nb.style.height == '') ? '' : 'hidden';
    }
toggle_navbar();
EOF

From here.

Pentadactyl for me. Takes care of all that for you. But I'm more of a chromium guy now.

^ Good tip, thanks! Speaking of FF tweaking, this:

Ivan has great FF tips on the munch forums. No link, I'm on my mobile, but it's there.

^ Here it is:

http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=23064&p=1

But it is more or less discontinued. Though it is more of an install guide.

[rhowaldt]

^ is that worth transitioning to a cleaner place?

[dkeg]

Haha ... cleaner

[ivanovnegro]

^ is that worth transitioning to a cleaner place?

I would say it is. Then I would also update it again. :) But do not tell me you want me to move it to our Wiki, me, the lazy bastard. :D

[rhowaldt]

^^ ;)
^ well, if you're gonna update it, you might as well move it there yourself, eh? ;)

I just installed Dillo on Shark Fin, looks like sid has the latest, 3.0.4.

Ok, convinced but you will have to fix the formatting. :)

[rhowaldt]

^ of course my love!

LXQt is already in the Siduction repos:

Edit: Siduction seems heavily involved in the project. Thumbs up.

uBlock: a new adblocker for Firefox and Chromium, reportedly easier on CPU and memory than Adblock/Plus:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

[ivanovnegro]

Sounds interesting Bones.

[Dr_Chroot]

^^ I just tossed it on FF. Looking forward to see if I can beat Adblock Edge. Looks like a solid project, though.

[ivanovnegro]

^ Testing it right now. Works perfectly. RAM usage dropped from the get-go. It works in the same manner as ABP but still has some interesting features. Basically it is the same sans the allowed shit. Let's see if it really is lighter.

It works in the same manner as ABP but still has some interesting features. Basically it is the same sans the allowed shit.

This is great, because I was using Adblock Edge instead of ABP (because of the allowed shit), and keeping my bookmarks and add-ons synced with FF sync. However, for some reason I can't get Adblock Edge in OpenBSD Firefox, so had to resort to ABP. Result: FF sync giving me BOTH Adblock Edge and ABP! Arrgghh, bullshit!

So, when I get home this evening, I will (hopefully) have uBlock on my OpenBSD Firefox, and no ABP or ABE.
