@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd Good morning everyone.

I need a bit of help, let's see if anyone is able to.

When you press the Alt key while you're using #MicrosoftOffice, some tags appear on the screen, indicating which key to press for which menu, submenu, etc.

How can I activate that same thing on #MicrosoftEdge or on other #Windows11 programs?

I notice that I work faster only with a keyboard than a combination of keyboard and mouse.

Other tips to use only the keyboard would be wonderful too.

Thanks.

Jak #BigTech są zapatrzone w siebie. Dostałem pinezkę w #AppleMaps - i oczywiście #Apple twierdzi, że nie wspiera przeglądarki #Vivaldi. Dobra, sprawdzę #MicrosoftEdge - niestety to samo. Patrzę w info #Apple... no niby powinno działać... ale ale, ja mam Linux.... więc? Więc #Apple mnie wycina i mówi, że jestem zły. Więc #AgentSwitcher, zmieniam się w #windows10 i nagle cud!!!! Działa - a mogło działać od początku. Nie lubię takich działań. #OpenStrettMap tak nie robi - po prostu działa...

My Linux box doesn't run #MicrosoftEdge, and so I can't test this, but don't the words "will block if turned off" imply that a site can never read your clipboard without asking? It looks to me as if On means "ask me" and Off means "say no without bothering me."

My new app Browser Actions adds #macOS #Shortcuts support for #GoogleChrome, #MicrosoftEdge, #Safari, #Vivaldi, #Chromium, and #BraveBrowser! Now you can use Shortcuts to …

- create, find, filter, manipulate browser windows/ tabs/ pages
- work with browser menus
- send keystrokes, mimic typing
- interact w/ pages, click and scroll
- fill out forms
- extract info, selection as plain text or #Markdown (tables and everything!), the current DOM, all text content, etc.

Looking to switch from #MicrosoftEdge to #Firefox as my main browser! Fellow #Firefox users, especially in the #BlindTech community - what are your must-have extensions
and about:config tweaks for optimal performance?

I'm particularly interested in solutions for:
• Managing multiple tabs efficiently
• Keeping browser speed up while running #WebGames
#Accessibility features and extensions

Previous Firefox versions got sluggish for me, but I'm ready to give it another try! Share your tips!

YOU! Yes, you there, with the face and the browser!

Are you curious about using #macOS #Shortcuts for automating #GoogleChrome, #MicrosoftEdge, #Vivaldi, #Chromium, #BraveBrowser, and #Safari? Of course you are, because you're a sharp one (and looking sharp, by the way)!

In any case, check out Browser Actions (beta)! I just published a new version.

And maybe/please boost this post, I'd really appreciate it! 🤙🏼

If you, dear #ScreenReader user, are deeply annoyed by the fact that, whenever you press Ctrl twice on a #YouTube page in #MicrosoftEdge, you get a modal popup about zoom in and zoom out, then go to Settings, then Cookies and Site Permissions, then find the Magnify Image button. Press it and uncheck the checkbox about the magnify image shortcut. Huge thanks for this go to Ksenia Blake for rescuing me and all others in the need. #Accessibility

Preparing the public beta of Browser Actions over here. I currently work on documenting the shit out of all the #Shortcuts actions (naturally). I hope I'll get it done before the end of the week, but life keeps coming up. 😅

UPDATE 2024-10-06: Public beta on or before 10-10!

I have finally had enough of the behaviour of the Edge browser.

This morning I was offered the chance to download the Ecosia browser, and have done so. I successfully imported my bookmarks and passwords (using .CSV files) and so far it's all looking good.

Only two niggles so far - Adblockplus does not run, and there are no vertical tabs.

www.ecosia.orgEcosia - the search engine that plants treesEcosia uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over.

Can anyone pinpoint what might be happening here with search engines across browsers?

I usually use Duckduckgo in Firefox, but today this, and Ecosia, are giving error messages, regardless of the browser I use.

The error appears after a longer-then-usual loading time for the search. This is unaffected by what I'm searching for.

Google is working as expected in each browser, so it's not a connectivity issue...
