#Google #Chrome "feature" now broken.

I made many #GoogleChrome search engine "bookmarks" for sites I use often. As a keyboardist, I'd create engines with good shortcuts, but the URLs wouldn't use `%s` for the search string. E.g., my work uses #Canvas LMS, so I had a `cnvs` engine with URL `org.instructure.com/login/saml`. I'd type `cnvs` in the box, press enter, & away it'd go.

Now engine URLs without `%s` are invalid! I add `%s` to make them work, but now I must type a search string, too! 😛👹👺

I mean, come on: if you are using an app that’s not M$ Word, *of course* it doesn’t look exactly like or behave exactly like Word! You have to *learn* how to use it. Believe it or not, even Word has to be learned; often it feels “natural” only because you have learned to use it so long ago.

The same with “alternative #browser's” vs. #GoogleChrome, etc. 2/2

The numbers are still depressingly low.

"As of December 2024, the Chrome version of #uBlockOrigin had over 40 million active users and the Firefox version had over 9 million active users."

Given the difference in user counts between #GoogleChrome and #Firefox, it's striking how much more (on average!) Firefox users know about privacy and safety than Chrome users do.

I do agree that #Linux-users are more likely than #Windows-users to be running Firefox and that this'll cause Linux to be under-counted.

With #GoogleChrome's "incognito" mode, *you* can't track what websites you've visited, but #Google (and therefore a lot of other websites, advertisers and whatnot) can and do :blobfoxdetective:

Using #LibreWolf with history turned on, I have it the other way round: I can track *my own* history, but other people can't! :librewolf:

Revolutionary, right?

GoogleWatchBlog · Google Chrome: Keine Manipulation ohne Zustimmung - Google verschärft Regeln für Browser-ErweiterungenDie meisten Nutzer von Google Chrome dürften auf eine Reihe von Erweiterungen setzen, um den Funktionsumfang des Browsers zu vergrößern und sich praktische Hilfsmittel in den Browser-Alltag zu holen. Jetzt hat Google eine Verschärfung der Regeln für Erweiterungen angekündigt, die aufgrund eines kleinen Skandals im vergangenen notwendig geworden sind. Es geht um unbemerkte Affiliate-Links.
