  • Their plugins arent really reliable. Can tell you that. The Mullvad VPN Plugin does not like it at all if you ever should run out of VPN Time. If your VPN is not being paid the connection shits itself and doesnt reconnect properly when the VPN is being paid for again. Besides that, the Seamless-Tunnel Option (aka. dont allow network traffic if its not through the VPN) is working but hella buggy if you want to disable it for testing.

    Got myself a Opal one. Not sure what I will be using it from now on tbh. Maybe the other Options are more reliable but I couldnt be bothered to check em out in the last months.





  • Well thats because as soon as you search you are actually using a website. If the website doesnt support darkmode or was someday configured to be whitemode, then it will always show up bright. If the website doesnt support darkmodes: use the newest install that comes in a few days the 120 version. Or switch to the nightly-installation where you can already now install plugins/extentions. Then install the darkreader extention. Done. Ezpz


  • This is the way. The dude in the comment above the one I am replying to described a different way where you have to change the config, which would be neccesary to do on every new installation. Via the bookmarks/shortcuts method you will have the BANG Search on every new installation just by importing your bookmarks - or if you use an firefox account with synchronisation you will already have it with your login.

    Be advised that duckduckgo has already some predefined BANG Searches, that you can use without having to change anything. Just type in the search bar:

    • !g for google searches
    • !ddg for duckduckgo searches
    • !yt for youtube searches
    • !mindfactory for searches on a german pc hardware shop “mindfactory.de” Yes they have very broadly implemented websites. Even such nieche sites are already listed.








  • SysAdmin. The OCR Feature is a blessing to get masses of text from sended in screenshots, or Webinterfaces of devices that try to fight the user when they try to copy some text from it ^^

    The Always on Top Feature… fuck where do I start.

    When shit gets stressful and you are just trying to fix a thing asap but your view is bloated with the applications from your previous task, it can be unbelievable practical to use the always on top feature.

    Mostly use it on windows that i want to have as a small but always on top space where i can interact with application xyz or even a small fresh notepad to type down what the customer is blubbering into my phone while I try to get as many information possible and troubleshoot the problems at the same time.

    Sorry for the absolute shitty written text. I’m in a hurry.

    Powerrename with optional Regex (Regex only with support of chatGPT. Noone can tell me they actually understand regex ^^) Though PowerRename i use more often as a Pirate.

    Paste Text only - OMFG this feature… without it i would quit my job and search for anotherone where i can deploy it on my maschine. It stripes out every non-text from the text you have copied. So formatting and all that bullshit is gone. Its’s bliss. As a regular office worker this should also be a gamechanger. Noone ever wants to copy the formatting from one document to another. You mostly just want the plain damn text.

    Maybe the cut and resize feature will be also soon on my favourites list but i havent tested it that much so far.

    Oh and another app i love:

    ShareX.

    It has never been easier to show someone what they have to click or where error xyz occurs. Just create a border that you want to record in .mp4 format, do your stuff there, klick stop and send a very nice and small videofile to your opponent. Absolutely everyone that got a video from me was thankful for not having to read 4 paragraphes of text but instead was able to just watch a 30secs video and understand everything. I sometimes even use it in documentation for other sysadmins. Very helpful if the task is complex and would take up lots of text to explain. Create a short clip and everyone understands you.
