| Our vision diminishes as we get older. It is considered Best-practice to replace the color coordinated covers for your light switches and electrical outlets with a contrasting color. It is also good to paint the vertical risers of your stairs a darker color and to enhance the friction of the horizontal treads. |
I run ran Firefox as my main browser.
They recently installed updates and it is difficult for me to navigate.
The previous "style" was to have visual cues for buttons and tabs with identifying font inside the "button". The new style is to have the font floating in space.
I did a search and this issue was raised in both alpha and beta testing but the design team blew-off the concern. According to Asa Dotzler, the product manager for Firefox accessibility "we've been through a couple of rounds of design on this and the contrast meets our accessibility goals for 89"
Everybody designer wants to be "Edgy and fresh". But there is a reason why somethings like light switches are static. They work and we know what we are looking for.
Any recommendations for browsers? I heard good things about Brave.
give Opera a shot
ReplyDeleteI use chrome, i don't have any info to track anyway. I tried dissenter but didn't care for it.
ReplyDeleteBrave works well for me.
ReplyDeleteI will second the vote for Brave. I use Firefox on my old desktop 'cause I'm too lazy to change it but I use Brave on my laptop. They vary a bit but one gets used to the differences very fast. Brave has a better privacy record that (recent) Firefox also.
ReplyDeleteBeen running Opera for years.
ReplyDeleteIt is our go to browser
Still using Firefox Add this theme and it will sort out the visibility problem. I have tried the others and always end up back with Firefox....
ReplyDeleteHere is the theme....https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photon-colors/
Brave works for me after years on Chrome. I just got more and more disgusted with Alphabet and their shameless hoovering of every bit of data around. Now if I could just find a painless way to break free of Gmail. Protonmail is great but there's all that legacy stuff out there hooked to the gmail account.
ReplyDeleteWe're dinosaurs... sigh... They are just hoping we will die off so they can get on with their progressive ideas.
ReplyDeleteBe thankful for little things Mister NFO (can I call you Old?) Perhaps it is a blessing that us old guys are good with a rotary phone and are thus not worth chasing. We have them beat by default.
DeleteStopped using Firefox as my go to browser when they went woke. Now use Dissenter which is a variant of Brave. Not quite as full featured, but much more private.Firefox just did an update (at least in Linux) in the past few days that may fix your issue. I have issues using my prefered VPN in a private window in Dissenter, so I fall back on Firefox when I want that level of security.
ReplyDeleteI use Pale Moon FF and Brave. Opera wasn't useful to me. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI too use Pale Moon exclusively, never liked Brave. I have never had a problem with Pale Moon and in the recent past where google was messing with blogs and not allowing connection I could connect to anything I wanted with out seeing the red screen of death.
DeleteI’ve used SeaMonkey for years. Just different enough from Firefox to glitch most viruses and too small a following for hackers to write a variant

ReplyDeleteI'm running Brave and Dissenter. No real problems with either.
ReplyDeleteTake alook at Vivaldi
ReplyDeleteit's a chrome variant with pretty good privacy
Not as good as Brave, but close
The new design isn't great, but I'll stay with Firefox for now.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a less tracking version of Chrome, use Iron, which is based on the open Source Chrome with tracking and reporting removed.
So, there you have it ERJ. 15 new and different browsers you (and I) never knew existed. Is this a great country or what!
ReplyDeleteGot sick of Firefox complexity, as soon as brave became available, went there-‘17 or ‘18 maybe. It has continually improved. Continue to use.
ReplyDeletePale moon is great. Never had any problems with it!!
