  • "I guess that’s how the Democratic Party deals with Muslims. They’re not important to them. ... Maybe the Democratic Party doesn't want people like me and my kind in the party."

    If you're going to jump to conclusions and immediately start flinging shit, then yeah... get the fuck out. It has nothing with you being Muslim and everything with you being a shallow asshole.

  • Hmmm... maybe. It would still be easier to just forget the past five minutes without actually closing whatever I have open in the browser. I also still wish I could just tell it to not track closed tabs at all.

  • It's mostly from clicking links on Lemmy... sometimes the content isn't what I would expect or there isn't enough information to even have an expectation before clicking. After clicking there are sometimes things that pop up that I don't want in my history. Another common use case is that a new porn site will pop up in the Lemmy feed and I don't want to see it. In order to block it I have to visit the page. So after I block the page I clear my history.

  • Are you deciding afterwards that you want to forget those pages?

    Frequently, yes... There's also some pages/content on sites where you have to be logged in. Yeah, you could go private and login, but that's just more steps. I just want to hit a button and have it nuke the last 5 minutes of my browsing without closing my current tabs/browsers.

  • No, I'm using the 'Forget about some browsing history' button. You can selectively remove some entries just from history, but that still leaves them in your recent tabs list. If you just want the last 5 minutes of browsing gone then you have to do the rewind and that closes all tabs/instances.

    • It's not super simple to setup multiple, completely separate profiles like it is in Chrome
    • I never, ever visit google.com while I do visit gmail.com at least daily. Yet, when I type 'g' the suggestion is always google.com
    • I visit m.fark.com on my phone quite frequently. Firefox on my phone randomly decides I want to do a google search for 'm.fark.com' instead of visit the site
    • I don't want the recently closed tabs to be tracked and listed, yet there is no way to turn that off
    • If the menu bar is displayed the the first browser tab is left aligned. If the menu bar is turned off then the first browser tab is indented for no obvious reason.
    • I don't think I can clear my history without it closing all of my Firefox instances and making me reopen everything.

    There's no one thing that is a show-stopper... just little annoyances.

    It's not firefox's fault, but I still use music.youtube.com and google hangouts and there's no option to treat them like standalone apps like there is with chrome.

  • I switched to Firefox about a month ago for personal use. It's nearly impossible for me to quit using Chrome, though, due to work.

    I don't hate Firefox, but it does absolutely do some stupid shit that I don't like.

  • i am speaking from experience working in a large, k-12 [public] environment

    Can you be more specific? Do you have a degree in education? What kind of work were you performing? What grade(s)? How long ago? Are you still there?

  • i am speaking from experience working in a large, k-12 [public] environment and watching brand new teachers discuss their degrees, and their pay.

    Brand new teachers start at the bottom of the salary ladder and typically have a Bachelor's in Education. They then have to do continuing education and frequently end up with their Master's.

    Why are you referring to 'teachers' as if to speak about all of them if what you really meant was those who just graduated? Even then, why are you generalizing and dinging all teachers when there also some very brilliant first year teachers and many who are adequate/good, too?
