Definitely am getting varied results depending on the skin. Some do different colors for read/unread threads.

I also get a message above the list of threads that says "Load new posts", which I click on that basically refreshes the Recent list, which is the page I usually operate from.

Interesting. I never noticed if there is anything greyed out. I look at the Unread icon in the upper left area, and if there's a number there I just click on it and it brings up the list of things that I haven't read. That's my driver to read new stuff.

I logged in as my admin persona in Firefox and am trying a few things out.

I wonder if some of these features operate differently depending on the skin you use. Which skin are you using? I do see that at least one skin (the one I picked for my admin account so I know if I have superpowers on) seems to change the color of the thread title after I look at the thread. On my regular account I use ~~Flatly~~ Vapor, which is a dark skin.

Try DuckDuckGo. Much better search engine, IMHO.

Thanks for sharing your Linux experience!

@Bernard said in Windows 11:

Firefox is no different, but the adblock extension works well with it, and that (besides security) is my highest priority.

I was using Firefox but switched to Brave several years ago. I think it's better in a bunch of ways, including being faster than Firefox.

“Real” America Is Turning Against Trump’s Mass Deportation Regime

Everyday Americans in Appalachia and the Southeast show that resisting ICE is becoming the rule, rather than the exception.

I know little about Linux, and I do have an older laptop running Windows 10 that I'd like to keep on using.

I'm hoping some of our tech-oriented friends (I'm looking at you, @axtremus , @bernard , and @mark ) weigh in on the Linux discussion.
