Holy 54 tabs batman!
:)
May as well put my phone’s ram to use!
You can always download more RAM.
😳
Daaaaang, I thought I was hot schmidt with 88 tabs
When you have achieved true enlightenment, you will only ever need one tab:
Not even on the private browser. Absolute gentleman.
Good god what could possibly be in all those tabs!?
i found out recently that ios safari has a limit of 500 tabs :( i was not happy!
Those are rookie numbers, I’ve got 88 tabs
Firefox’s app puts me at “∞”. I think that’s what they put if you’re above 100.
Did you see Nihil’s screenshot? Holy hell
New tab just dropped
Don’t ask me how I know the safari tab limit is 500
right? it’s so annoying and such a “but why” moment
I’ve got around 300 open on my phone (Firefox for Android) and 1400 on my work PC (Firefox on Windows)… I need to close the one day. Some might have important stuff open in them though!
You should check out bookmarks
I have a Pinboard account I use for bookmarks (joined when it was just a once-off fee to join) but I want to move to something self-hosted at some point. I like having a web UI with full-text search for bookmarks, and being able to use the same bookmarks list across browsers and devices.
Dude. Just close them
Time to click “OK” I guess:
(this is just one window out of ~11)
At that point isn’t it just as quick to search through your history?
My friend you need onetab
One tab literally takes multiple minutes to stash my tabs because I have so many… I do like knowing that my tabs could theoretically be searched and I could find them, so occasionally I use it to close windows instead of going through them first
One of these days I want to make a tab bookmarker that will handle sites with comics/novels…I don’t care about the history with those, I just open tabs for stuff I’d like to read, and keep tabs to save my place when I switch works (eventually I recognize I’m not going to finish them anytime soon and close them)
I also open windows when I research a new topic, so I can probably do something with that too
Tik Tok is so awful it’s disheartening that people don’t get it.
It’s really not. It’s a dumb flagpole that privacy advocates are burning good will on.
Holy mixed metaphors Batman.
Get bent
Fuck off
I hate how awful yet ubiquitous it is. Depending on your demographic, not having it can mean you miss out on a lot of pop culture and sort of get left behind.
I’m probably in the like 2nd most targeted demographic, so all my friends are on TT and all the trending things related to our hobbies are on there. I constantly feel left out because I’m missing 99% of the content. And it’s hard because I want to have dumb conversations about pop culture and hobbies with my friends, but I refuse to download it. It makes me so sad. It’s very isolating
I dont have TT. I also don’t have Snapchat. Therefore, I also don’t have friends, or have any clue what is going on in the lives of those around me or the pop culture of my generation.
It is a lonely existence, but I refuse to get either of those apps. People have my number. If they actually cared, they could return my texts.
Assuming you have a phone which
skiesallows you to deny permissions on an app-level, what is preventing you from browsing it? Is it political? Job related (ie your only device is a work device)?While you can easily let it feed you crap, you have a reasonable ability to tune what the algo feeds you. Unless you really do have a self control issue, which is legit/fair reading to avoid the temptation.
It’s usually the invasive data collection that gets people.
Why would you give them access? Maybe android sucks, but iOS sandboxes apps. And on desktop you just pull up a firefox private session. It’s not that hard.
Yup, this is the reason.
I didn’t install it on my new phone and itmakes me feel like something is missing. That algorithm is so damn addictive. Also miss the recipes on there.
ITT: User complains that he doesn’t understand WebApps and bitches at TikTok 🤣.
Web apps and removed? This isn’t the first comment I’ve seen with “removed” randomly in the middle of a sentence. Are mods censoring comments or something?
You have some kind of swear word filter. They said ‘bitches’ or if that also gets censored, the plural of female dogs, but as a verb.
That’s odd, because other comments don’t appear to be censored. I’m on lemmy.ml
Your instances is sensoring cuss words.
I’m on lemmy.ml
Are you using an app that could block it?
Looks like an instance specific thing. Not getting that on lemme.ee
What’s a webapp?
A web site that installs some JS in your browser (called a “service worker”) that does shit
The fuck how does that happen? Is it malware?
Very likely that you use web apps regularly. It’s very commonplace.
Though to be fair, the Tiktok should definitely delete the notification subscription from their database if the account is being deleted.
You have allowed tick-tock website to send you notifications I guess. If so, you can clear this permission in your browser settings.
Step 1: duckduckgo Step 2: set fire to the entire browser. Burn it down.
Step 3: stahp going to those places which make you burn it all down.Fortunately, I have kept this “feature” disabled since it was introduced to browsers.
I don’t know how does it look like, how does it function, and how annoying it is.
Same, I am yet to find a website notification that is actually useful to me.
“Would you like to get notifications abou–”
“Fuck no, I’m only putting up with your website’s bs to read this article, and fuck off with your auto play video. Me hitting pause and scrolling down does not mean I want you to make it float on my screen and resume playing.”
I suppose I must have at some point lol. Chrome doesn’t list it specifically but I did have website notifications on. I guess another solution would be let them finish deleting my account for inactivity 😂
One thing to remember in the future, is that recent versions of Android let you long-press on a notification(or half-drag in some modded OEM versions) and it’ll tell you what App sent that notification, and even give you options to disable that specific notification or all notifications from that app in general.
I’ve literally never even seen a website notification. I wasn’t aware they were a thing that existed. I imagine if you follow these simple steps, you too can enjoy the internet without fear.
- download Firefox
- install Ublock Origin
- don’t use tiktok
- download Firefox
- install Ublock Origin
Neither of those will help with notifications. Firefox also supports web push, as they should since it is in the spec.
Do you know if there is a way to disable these website notifications on Firefox?
Website based notifications are the most idiotic, stupid, abusive thing ever in the current internet scene.
I work in IT and they cause so many issues. I 100% blame google and anyone else that added this feature to their browser.
Oh, since I use Firefox is that why I have never seen this ? Good to know .
Firefox supports notifications. What it doesn’t support is PWAs.
A PWA is what Voyager/wefwef is.
It doesn’t support PWAs on desktop, I’m writing this comment from voyager running on firefox android
I’ve done tech support for a few elder relatives, and most of them have a wall of browser notifications to a bunch of random crap, because they say yes to every popup that appears 🤦♂️
It’s pretty concerning that their first reaction to a random question is yes…
Just another type of popup I have my ad/script blockers block. As much as I hate that, I hate sites that don’t even let you back the fuck out properly even more.
CBS News, which is often shared on aggregates like this and Reddit, was one of the worst. I’ve had shady scam/porn sites that were easier to go back/close than CBS’s god damn website.
They’re useful in some cases. I used to use the Twitter website (PWA) and it was nice to get notifications without having to install the full bloated app. I use them for forums and web-based chat (like TheLounge IRC client), too
What’s the issue? Are people just randomly accepting notification permission requests all the time? 😲
They sure are and when you ask them about it, they never remember allowing it.
It’s the same mentality as people just pressing “Next” in an installer and wonder why their browser homepage is hijacked or why there are programs that they never installed. People see the “Block” or “Accept” options in the notifications dialog and press Accept without even reading, especially on mobile browsers (Chrome) where it asks you as if it’s a system message.
It’s tough for me to accept that these poor people still exist haha. I remember back in 2005 or so clearing upwards of 5 toolbars from various relatives’ browsers, but not so much since. I suppose notification management is the modern equivalent.
These people will never go away. The people have 16 push messages an hour, are the same people who had 7 IE toolbars, are the same people who had their VCR blinking 12:00, are the same people who couldn’t get the channel on their radio, are the same people who (presumably) kept buying snakeoil potions.
These are the people who would rather be annoyed at something than fix it, they’re the people who will spend hours living with problems rather than spend 1 hour learning how to resolve it.
Some even take pride in how little they know.
Yes.
Chrome makes it REEEEEALLY easy to accept these permissions now. I run into it a TON helping folks at my job.
Like most problems in IT I blame the users for randomly clicking button they don’t understand.
Init is part of the specification so it was always going to be added.
But google are the ones that implemented it first and pushed to have it added to the spec
Yeah, because it was needed for PWAs to be viable.
There is no problem if you don’t just press random buttons without reading the dialog box. Like OP clearly did.
Quite like the way that iOS handles it now. The only sites alllowed to request to send notifications are ones you have added to your Home Screen as PWAs
Sign up to Anonaddy, instead of giving out your real email addresses use aliases. That way when companies pull this shit you just deactivate the alias.
Wow, I had no idea this existed. Ty
There is also Simplelogin. I use both since you get a limited number of aliases in their free tiers.
You should be able to click on the lock, click permissions, and then click reset permissions.
It might be slightly different per browser but that’s the jist of it.
How does that even work? Is it even possible to do that on mobile?
Many websites seem to ask to give me notifications these days
What do you mean by notification? Is it an email or an android notification?
I shouldve screenshot it too but it looked like it came from the app and I don’t have any emails from them. It looked real enough that I went to my notification settings to turn it off but I forgot I uninstalled it a while ago. I’m really confused because I didn’t think websites could send notifications through chrome
Open the Chrome menu, go to Settings > Site Settings > All Sites. Check if you have Tiktok in there, click the site and you’ll see a Clear & reset button. Clicking the button should remove any notifications from the site coming from Chrome.
Here is the answer! Lemmy give you an upvote!
This is Da wae
So I don’t know how this works on Android, but maybe you can try re-installing the app? On iOS the push token changes for each install of the app. Super weird that can happen…
websites can indeed send you notifications but it you get asked and also you can turn those off somewhere
That shit should be super illegal.
