NotHereToPlayGames Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) I thought that most browsers already included this without any need for an extension. In Chrome-based, you do this by holding Ctrl-Shift down then clicking on the link - the link then opens in a new tab and that new tab is activated. I know this throws the keyboard into the mix and a context menu would be mouse-only, but does Ctrl-Shift (or similar) do the same thing for FF-based? FF used to have a browser.tabs.loadInBackground preference setting (set to false for your desired result), unsure if this is still usable in St52. edit - oops, you did say "without reaching for the keyboard"... hopefully setting browser.tabs.loadInBackground to false will work for you...

RainyShadow Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It's the same in NM and St52, holding Ctrl does this. But my keyboard is tucked away most of the time when just browsing... I had the setting toggled for some time, didn't like this behaviour as default. I'd prefer my browsers to behave the same way (when possible).

kwisomialbert Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) NM27 and NM28 and Centaury have an old google images, you cant upload pics to reverse search;; it works in Serpent 52 and 55 and mypal.

RamonUn Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I have a question about search engine configuration under your Serpent browser. Is there a way to make a custom configuration? for exemple with MyPal, it is very simple, because you have an `Edit engine` button in the Manage Search Engine List, For exemple I always use the non-js version of DuckDuckGo go engine (loads much faster), for this I just need to edit the URL. See below for MyPal exemple. Maybe I am missing something there seems to be no such options for Serpent. My question is how I could manually edit the search engine without having to trust extra plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Serpent you could do this: bookmark a duckduckgo page, then menu-> bookmark->right click the duckduckgo item under "recently bookmarked"->properties, this will bring up edit dialogue: Modify as above (you could choose another keyword other than "d"), then you could type "d <query word>" in the address bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamonUn Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Thanks @luweitest it is an amazing trick. EDIT: I also use keyword.enabled; false in the about:config option to avoid using the default search engine by mistake.

Before this, I hope people can test if old media-related bugs (such as process can't terminate after audio/video had been played, etc.) are not coming out again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't play youtube fro mainpage (your browser can't play this video...) or embedded (loading player...). I can't play FB videos either, and going down the feed eventually results in stuttering. No Silverlight support (which may be dying soon, anyway) Normal sites: it browses nicely. No issue loading multiple tabs, fast rendering. Chalkboard on par with sp52 with multiprocess (a bit slower, but good). Thanks! It's good to have a new alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamonUn Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 @roytam1 Excuse me to disturb you with something that was maybe already asked, but would it be possible to fix bug #1261585 for Serpent? I encountered this problem when using JustOff's github-wc-polyfill plugin after enabling e10s in Serpent see Issue #33. I think multi-process mode is amazing on my machine for Serpent but I have to stick to single process mode because of this bug, and I do use GitHub a lot. Of course it is your call, I understand you have a lot of work and I am very grateful for your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
