A heathen, conceivably โ but not, I hope, an unenlightened one.
#firefox is pretty good at letting me customize the browser UI to move the bookmark bar to the top, but what with their pivot to #AI I have been taking a look at @Vivaldi as an alternative.
After enabling custom UI modifications and some #CSS chicanery, I have imposed my will on the browser! A sensible UI, decent ad blocking and no AI bullshit โ might have found my new browser ๐

This is especially true if, like me, you organize your bookmarks into folders. With modern browsers collapsing the traditional window menu into a magic button, having the bookmark bar at the top of the window feels completely natural and obvious... I can't be the only one who thinks this?!

A thread about web #browser #UI
The correct layout for a web browser is this:
[Bookmarks bar]: all the sites you might visit
[Tab bar]: all the sites you're currently visiting
[Address bar]: the site you're currently seeing
[Content]: the actual content of the site
It makes *no sense* to put the bookmarks bar below the address bar, above the content. Of the three bars it's the least coupled to the content of the site you're visiting.

@anon_opin full English, but swap the fried bread for a Newfoundland touton and molasses - now you're talking.
The shame is on the other side. We can beat them forever and ever.
@juergen_hubert yes, yes, but *when* are you going to do the washing up?
@fesshole it's just a beautiful mother and son bonding moment, nothing to see here
@anon_opin conspiracy theories invariably skew to the right because when you start thinking about a conspiracy theory dreamt up by the left you realise that's just called "reality"
@0xabad1dea I turned off all the.ml* and other AI features in about:config, but I also disabled all the telemetry so they'll never know. I suspect I'm not alone.
![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove.]
JANET: Ugh...
LIZ: What's up?
JANET: I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ: Have you tried... AI peas?
JANET: AI peas?
LIZ: They're peas with AI! [Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ: Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET: What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines] Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas? [Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ: Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine [Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ: With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET: What
LIZ: Shut up
LIZ: Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow From opening the bag of peas to boiling the peas to eating the peas To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET: Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]: THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET

@mynameistillian above all, be honest. If it rhymes, great, but don't force the rhyme. But be honest.
@fesshole this is just you living above the API before it was a meme.
@fesshole keep a record of what videos you're watching, then perform an analysis of variance on time and genre to determine the type of smut that most efficiently causes you to dribble out some cock snot
@fesshole and let's not forget he had your ex-wife killed in that car crash in Paris
@anon_opin lol did u see the latest #LoveIsBlind where buddy blended a chicken breast with tap water and drank it as a smoothie #gross #GagMeWithASpoon
