Why is compact mode 'not supported'? (lemmy.ca)

I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it's not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

True, a lot of things are too inaccessible so that people even think they dont exist. Like the task manager or profiles.

Yup, and I use both. I only use profiles for checking stock Firefox to help support people without my setup.

Containers are also awesome and not advertised well enough, it completely replaced profiles for me.

I use an "insecure" profile (basically just RFP etc off) for Netflix and other sucky sites.

Eh, container tabs and disabliing strict checks per site seems to solve my problems.

But no

random Netflix addons
DRM enabled

I mean, I have my custom app desktop entry, so why not use a separate profile for that crap?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Sure, why not?

Interesting, I need to try that out.
