IIRC Beehaw doesn't federate downvotes. The OP has been pretty heavily downvoted for no valid reason
I've tried both on my low powered HTPC and came to the same conclusion - especially noticeable where video acceleration is concerned
Something about that channel feels "off", don't know what it is. Maybe all the rants and abundance of negative opinions?? Perhaps it's the culture difference in how he communicates on camera?
The only positive videos I've seen are him moving to macOS, the dell laptop one, and i guess the keyboard one, the other ones seem to be mostly opinion pieces & rants. There are other channels that do a better, more balanced job of this I think
Explains why I was having issues with this in Gnome on my HTPC...
Ended up making a remote button shortcut to maximise and restore apps
I used to have only 4GB in my old Linux HTPC, didn't take much for it to choke when using the browser. Upgraded to 16GB and no issues since
Some websites I know actually do this - usually end up getting around it by using selectors to identify elements nested in a particular order, rather than using class names. Nowhere near as reliable though
Got to really wonder what's going on at Mozilla. Between the previous CEO milking it for cash, the purchase of an ad company, and now this?
Absolutely love the ability to share links from my android and have them open automagically on my linux HTPC. Also made a command shortcut for my laptop so I can unlock it from my android. Really versatile
Precisely this
Mine can also dehydrate food super quickly with a variable fan speed, which my traditional oven can't do without burning through a ton of unnecessary energy
FFmpeg (libavcodec) is just one of 22 codecs that VLC is shipped with
Micromobility is pretty active if you're interested in product coverage and news. As for more organic content, it's pretty infrequent in any of the existing bicycle communities ☹️
Why? Anyone is free to use whatever browser floats their boat 🤷♂️
Do you get the same issues on an older version of Firefox for that device? If yes, proceed with caution - your device's internal EMMC might be nearing EOL considering how old Android 6 is
They probably just stopped building for Android 6 devices. The SDK and various third party libraries continue to add new features all the time, and unlike Firefox, the majority of devs do not have the time or resources to manually code-in the missing bits to retain compatibility with old versions of Android. As a side effect, these custom implementations may have bugs or issues that go unnoticed due to the shrinking install base.
One of the more noticeable bits that changed is the Share API, which is why Firefox's one looks so different vs every other app. There are other things like enhanced battery optimization and the storage API, which have changed a lot since Android 6.
IMO your best option is an older version of FF, or install Lineage (etc) on that device and use another browser
Edit: change "age of device" to "shrinking install base"
