Thanks, I've done it!
I found out you can import not only bookmarks from Chrome, but also passwords, history and autofill data!
I'm switching today. Right now. Because of this post.
^^maybe
EDIT: okay. I think I've done it. I'm currently editing this comment from Firefox. I already had Firefox installed. But now I have pinned it to my taskbar. I went to import my bookmarks from chrome, and found that I also had the option of importing other stuff from chrome, too (bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data). That's sweet. My bookmark bar has the same bookmarks in the same position. I also installed ublock origin, like someone recommended. And I am going to give it a go. If it all goes smoothly, I will unpin Chrome from the taskbar.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
comment from the forum:
New ISPs in my country are IPv6-only because there is no new IPv4 space to be provided to them. They do have a over-shared IPv4 address by CGNAT but due to the oversharing, it is unstable and not rare to be offline. For these companies, the internet access is stable only in IPv6.
Thinking about the server-side, some cloud providers are making extra charges for IPv4 addresses (e.g.: Vultr.com) so most of the servers in my company are IPv6-only. Cloning github repositories is very cumbersome due to the lack of IPv6 support and this issue affects me and my team mates on a daily basis.
The math is simple: there are 4.88 billion internet users in the world but the IPv4 space only provides 4 billion addresses. It's over: IPv4 is obsolete and is provided in a legacy mode. Current applications and services must be IPv6 enabled otherwise it should be seen as obsolete. For that matter, Github.com is an obsolete service because it relies on obsolete technology as IPv4.
I joined the WGA in 1986 and have been through several strikes with them. We made gains in all of them, but some issues are more important than others… and this year’s strike is the most important of my lifetime.
This is the best comment I've read in my short (but not miniscule) time on Lemmy. Thank you for inspiring me.
Well, it's useful to have local communities, but I personally find it nice to still be able to join, read, and post from another instance without having to make another account. For instance, I'm subscribed to lemmy.world's "local" community, which is where I found out about old.lemmy.world and mlmym.org. Likewise, if I lived in a geographic locality like Seattle, I might want to join a Seattle community on a Seattle instance, but I'd still prefer to be able to do it using an account from another instance rather than being forced to make an account on the Seattle instance.
You can use new.Reddit.com.
This is the issue.
