The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet::Mozilla has announced the release of an update to its Firefox browser. In version number 118, users will find a significant innovation - a built-in translator
This was the last thing I actively used chrome for, time to fully switch over I guess now that I can translate my Russian tracker.
I still use Chrome when I need to Chromecast, any way around that?
This works, but it’s definitely a beta product, and not release quality…
Add Chromecast support to Firefox with Fx_cast extension
Not that I’m aware of. It’s in the name right? Lol
I just use brave browser when I must do casting. It works fine, you do have to enable it though. they call it “media router” or something like that in the settings. VLC also lets you cast to chromecast so there is a protocol for non-google apps, not sure why firefox never implemented it.
I already know Russsian so that’s not a problem for me lol
Whelp, that would be handy lol
I wish I could leave chrome, but FF can’t keep up with me. I’ve been trialing FF across multiple systems and OS’s and it’s the same across them all, around 100-150 tabs it gets unstable, uses way more RAM than Chrome and then eventually crashes
I can have literally hundreds upon hundreds of tabs in Chrome.
I get tab anxiety at about 20 at which point the least visited get scrapped.
150 tabs??? What the hell are you doing on your browser?
A lot of people seem to never use bookmarks and depend on just leaving the tabs open. shrug I guess they let their history last forever too.
when you keep a tab open, it remembers the scroll position, it’s usefull when you read a long page and leave reading in the middle and start browsing other sites. Also why would you delete history? Sites can’t read browser history.
Interesting, I found chrome to be worse with a lot of tabs open. Not much worse though, I think they are both bad. I started using OneTab with FF and it made things a lot smoother. Easy way to save specific windows with a lot of tabs until I need it again later.
Now I only use about ten active windows with 4-50 tabs each lol
Idk man lol I was testing FF to try to get off Chrome and I tested it on multiple Win10 and MacOS computers (Physical and VMs) and it was pretty much the same across
Although Chrome seems to get weird once you cross the 600 tab barrier, but having a 600 tab “limit” vs <200 is still a lot better
Maybe that’s why I sought out a program like one tab afterall
200 tabs was probably on the low end for me before I started using that extension
It’s been years now, so I may be guilty of some false memories
I use the side berry extension for FF which adds a sidebar to organize tabs into groups and adds a tree structure to the tab view as well. It also automatically unloads inactive tabs until you return to them. I have 1400 tabs open
The auto tab discard extension might be useful for you
Not really, I don’t just leave old tabs open and never return to it, I actually go back to my older tabs (eventually). I jump between different projects a lot
If chrome is stable enough to handle hundreds of tabs open for weeks at a time out of the box then it is a clear winner for me, I shouldn’t have to rely on an extension just for that base functionality
Does chrome have tab groups yet? I have probably 500+ tabs open in Safari, but they’re all organized into groups so I only really see 10 or so at a time.
I just checked and it does lol I don’t even know when they rolled it out lolol
you can do the same with firefox, you can have hundred of tabs open there as well, it has the same capability to suspend tabs.
Try Tab Suspender. With it you can open as many tabs as you care to, it will auto-suspend tabs unless you choose tabs not to suspend. This way you can open as many tabs in as many windows as you want, even suspend all the tabs in one window or many windows.
One Tab is even better, it puts all open tabs into 1 tab as a long list, then you can open those as needed in new tabs or windows.
