And, while I like old hardware, the first x86-64 chips shipped in 2003. So, this is not exactly a Windows 11 situation.
Hardware older than that is going to struggle with modern browsers. A PC from that era would probably have less than 1 GB of RAM and perhaps a max RAM well under 4 GB (the theoretical limit). Using older software versions is probably best anyway.
“Firefox no longer supports 32-bit Linux systems. We recommend installing the 64-bit version for continued updates and support”
And I thought only Microsoft create e-waste.
All of the 5 people who use (non-ESR) Firefox on their 2002 Pentium 4s will certainly be very unhappy about this.
It’s open source. If 32 bit support is important enough, people can fork and maintain it.
What e-waste? Your computer still works, you can install other browsers and apps 🤷♂️
Try lynx
unironically my measuring stick for a good ux is if the site is usable from lynx without knowing how to use lynx
Oh, memories 🤩
Ironically, I think it may be because of Skia. So Google.
I wanna say, “sarcasm?” 👏👏👏 At least, that’s how I’m reading it.
Sure, but not obviously enough, maybe next time I mark it.
For gods sake please support non-hardware token passkeys like everyone else (you know, the QR Code type). I literally can’t login to some services in Linux Firefox because I have passkeys in Apple’s passwords app. I don’t want to use Chrome in *nix but I have to for the time being.
bitwarden?
Wouldn’t matter. Firefox on Linux doesn’t support any of them.
OT, but I feel like
I keep seeing more of these “foo 1.2.3 released” announcements here on this channel.Is it on topic, though? Shouldn’t the channel be more about Linux specific topics, rather than place for people to discuss updates of arbitrary selection of apps which just share the fact that they also run on Linux?
Edit: Technically the “I feel like” part was true but looking at the topic post … factually I’m totally wrong; it’s like 1 in 20 at most.
Copy Link to Highlight is my favorite addition.
