Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024::The “Manifest V3” rollout is back after letting tensions cool for a year.
Why the hell aren’t you on Firefox?
Because bold fonts look weird in Firefox and I have not found a way to change that
Weird do you have a screen shot you can share? they look fine to me.
Could it be something withyour windows installation?
Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium). I’ve had this problem on Windows before but now I’m using Linux and it’s the same unfortunately.
Yea, just tested it myself and i have the same problem. but not in choromium.
Weird!
Using DuckDuckGo (Android), which is chromium-based, it has the same problem, all text weights are bolded at the maximum values.
It looks like Firefox is trying to be more respectful of the text weights, when deciding how to bold text.
Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium).
If I’m understanding that screenshot correctly, it looks like Thorium (Chromium) is ignoring the text values and bolding any of them at the max bolding value, where Firefox respects the text values and bolts off of that just slightly.
It’s been forever since I last looked, but can’t you actually change what fonts are used from within Firefox directly?
Firefox users who never left: feeling of smugness intensifies
I must admit I ditched Firefox for a while when it was considerably slower than Chrome.

The last time I used Chrome was a fork called Rockmelt 🥴 then moved to Maxthon, then K-Meleon, and settled on Firefox
Rockmelt is a fork of Chromium, not a fork of Chrome. Same with Maxthon. Both Chromium and Chrome are maintained by Google, but Chromium is open-sourced while Chrome is not.

Does anyone on lemmy use chrome?
I have Chrome configured as my default browser, armed to the teeth against any possible misbehaviour such as no Javascript. Anything that tries to open a website automatically goes there, and if it wants to work properly has to get onto my whitelist or gets its URL copypasted into Firefox.
I use Firefox as my main browser. It doesn’t seem to like not being my default browser and complains regularly about it, but there’s no way to explain my setup to it so I have to keep saying “no” to the prompt (to be fair it’s only at update time when this happens, and even then it’s occasional so no big deal). JS is on by default but I still have uBO, Enhancer for YT, I don’t care about cookies, and a few other extensions.
If only there was an alternative. Some kinda fox. A fox that was set aflame
LoLL
Laughing out loud longitudinally?
Limits of Large Language (model not included)
Or, let’s say, a weasel frozen in ice
There’s a browser called Glacier Ferret? 🤔
Sorry, I had too.
Why would you apologise for that string of masterpieces? It’s marvellous and adorable! Marvorable! Adorallous! Both! 🥰
And may they burn
