Wow, you just… described the problem we had on our Windows PCs that I never managed to describe

Doesn’t appear to.

But looks like even GNOME Web supports extensions now. So no reason that something like uBlock origin couldn’t be implemented right?

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I did read the Flexlauncher docs which also recommend the Chromium command, I was hoping there’d be something like that for Firefox because it’s just a matter of time before ad blockers become handicapped in Chromium. But guess that’s the only solution then.

Got Flexlauncher on my setup (Debian running on an old laptop) too and was hoping you could share some advice:

• what’s the best way to launch websites as “apps”? Bonus points if I get to keep uBlock Origin :)
• currently using a wireless keyboard only and running to the trackpad when it doesn’t suffice, what air mouse would you recommend?
• that wallpaper looks great, could I have a link?

First had Kodi on a RPI, but I got fed up with Kodi, partly because there are too many moving parts and partly because there’s no great way to watch YouTube.

Then found Flexlauncher, which has already been suggested by someone else. Slapped Debian on the RPI and then realized that getting smooth HD YouTube video playback is impossible outside of Kodi, because of hardware (?) limitations.

At this point I decided that enough is enough and just got out the old laptop in the household no one uses anymore, same Debian + Flexlauncher combo with Stremio and Freetube. Set Debian to do auto login and start Flexlauncher automatically. Works great, but controlling with Keyboard only (and using the laptop trackpad when nothing works) gets a bit annoying. Looks like an airmouse is the way to go.

There is an official subscription called Fairphone Easy being offered in the Netherlands exclusively. For other European counties there’s Commown, but it’s pretty expensive.

It does apparently
