They probably needed an electron web app that could run the (likely ~8MB+) javascript bundle loaded by their ad provider.

Sad reality aside; when the new app released I was using an old AppxBundle of the last good version downloaded from a microsoft store archive website. Later I fully uninstalled the app as it got annoying to cancel the autoupdate for that specific app. I use a random website now.

> With my regular lenses there's a part of the screen that's about a half dollar coin in size that's clear and in focus. The rest of the screen is every so slightly blurry.

I have two glasses that have lenses with a similar prescription. The older one has some basic lenses and anything outside the center gets gradually less clear towards the edges. The newer one has aspherical lenses and even the areas near the edges are quite clear. It wasn't expensive either. The best lens I have used was probably a zeiss one but I'm guessing the full featured zeiss is probably quite expensive.

In my opinion the worst and most distinguishable downside of webp is the forced 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. On many images with bright colors you can clearly see the color and brightness loss without an educated eye.

On comparison [1] you can clearly see that the top right balloon has lost its vibrant red color. On comparison [2] the bright blue neon art on the center has lost its brightness.

I'll pinch in with Tampermonkey's upsides compared to Violentmonkey.

Tampermonkey supports @connect [1] which lets you take an action whenever a script connects to a domain that isn't listed in its meta fields. Tampermonkey also warns you whenever a script modifies its @include/@match/@connect fiels with an update.

My problem with webp is that lossy mode only supports 4:2:0 chroma subsampling which can make bright colors look worse in some situations. The sharp_yuv parameter helps but it can also introduce visible changes that did not exist beforehand.

Yes, they exist and the application is portable. It works when you open it.

But your profile is not fully portable. They have a page explaining exactly what I mean.

> What's the point when the tech is non portable

I know that you meant something else with this, but the wording amused me as currently Firefox is the only up-to-date "portable" browser that lets you carry around your browser profile in a usb stick.

Anything with Chromium deletes your extensions, passwords etc. whenever you open it in a new computer.

I recognize that code.

Some other unmentioned add-ons that I use frequently:

- Contextlets: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/contextlets/

Adds context menu items that execute custom JavaScript. Think of it as an advanced version of bookmarklets that can use webextension APIs.

Example use case: Search for the selected text in multiple search engines in a new window with discarded tabs.

- Distill Web Monitor: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/distill-web-m...

Monitor website changes and get notification popups, email, SMS or push notifications on change. There are other alternatives that have the same basic functionality but I stayed with Distill as it is more customizable.

Other than Sublime Text I also like how Microsoft Office apps and Photoshop does it. I press Alt+Q (it was Ctrl+F on PS), type something in and press enter. If they have a search like that, then it doesn't matter where they hide the functionality.

It is possible to get that feature back with two advanced tweaks (which I had to use):

1) Increase the number of results in about:config: Set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to your desired value (like 60).

2) Make the results scrollable with a userchrome.css tweak: Using this example or your own: https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/blob/master/c...

Same. After I tried unblocking it temprorarily Firefox blocked it as well.

Here it is: https://gist.github.com/Onurtag/166df8b88744c48e93a64b7c8965...

Using everything with an autohotkey script that replaces Ctrl+F for years now.

If I Ctrl+F while an explorer window is open it allows me to search within that folder. Same with desktop, documents and taskbar.
