Best way to access to FB or Insta?
Best way to access to FB or Insta?
What's the best way, shelter (so work profile with officiale app) or dedicated browser without clear cookies (I'm using fennec as default, so wich other would be good choice?) I'm skipping foss app user case cause there's not insta alternative. Thanks
You're viewing a single thread.
Firefox has "total cookie protection" by default, which means, more or less, that the each tab is isolated from the rest of your browsing stuff.
This, in my understanding, is equivalent to having a separate 3rd party app for insta or fb. You can also"install" the web app from Firefox menu, if you prefer a nice icon on your launcher
I'v tried this, but even if I save login credential (Insta) and save page as webapp in my launcher every time I open it I'v to insert again login credential (even if now are saved) and the webapp take a lot time to load. Using F-droid Webapps is my current solution (don't know why but a lot faster) but sadly is no more mantained. In my Firefox (Fennec) setting I'v set to clear all data on exit, is this the reason why I'v to insert saved login credential every time?....there's a way to avoid this without keeping all site/cookies and data stuff?
No cookies means your login details won't be saved
In my Firefox (Fennec) setting I’v set to clear all data on exit, is this the reason why I’v to insert saved login credential every time?
I think so, becasue this will clear the session cookies that have the account token in them
So, one solution would be to directly use the anonymous mode for everything (you can enable the option to open links in an anonymous tab) where you don't want to keep login, and by disabling the "clear data on exit" you use the non anonymous mode for insta and facebook. You can also keep the clear data on exit, and exclude the cookies, BTW
ok so I suppose anonymous mode don't keep track of any sie data,preference,cookies ecc..is this correct? Do you use this method? did you face any site issue in anon mode?
I don't use this method, but I would say that the difference between private browsing and the "clear on exit" option is that with the latter you can adjust what you clear on exit (cache, cookies, history), while with the former it cleans everything automatically.
So what you are doing right now is equivalent to using private browsing. The only thing that would make things more convenient for you is the sggestion to enable the options to open links in private mode in firefox.
ok, I'v tried with Mull (that's still based on Firefox), and use a separate browser (feel more safe from user mistake) that keeps login,cookies data but still is very slow compared with Webapp....thinking if shelter app is better solution at this point.
When clearing Cookies and Site Data, under Manage Exceptions add the URLs of the web sites you want to keep data for, i.e. Allow.
sorry but I'm not seeing this optional on Fennec, are you sure it is possible? (can you tell step by step where do that?)
Meh, not available in Android versions :-/ You could disable deletion of cookies and site data, and use the Cookie AutoDelete Add-On to delete cookies and data (you'll have to enable that once) and add sites you want to keep there in the whitelist while you are visiting them.
So, (assuming on mobile) you have selected to delete browser data on Firefox (fennec). Because of that and because there is no setting to white list the sites you'd like to keep cached, those sites load more slowly. You could try removing the one for cookies specifically and then manually erase them on a weekly basis but that's more finicky. It may be better to use something like ublock origin to block cookies. You may be able to just whitelist the sites you want from there. Or switch browsers I suppose.
