add-ons on Orion

It’s great to know that they are working better now, last time I tried almost none was functionnal and it was quite a pain to install / uninstall / switch source (Firefox / Chrome version) in the hopes of it finally working. I’ll have a look, since then I’ve been using Brave + piHole and it was more or less decent.

That looks very neat and I’d love to have a wallpaper made from one of those, has someone found some high resolution pictures of his work ?

Thanks for your reply ! My last unit lasted 9 years so that counts but looking at feedback from recent models it looks like a lot of progress has been made already so I’m not sure if it’s worth it to worry that much

I could totally be misunderstanding the problem or question here,

You understood the question right, simply put MacOS is meant to optimize battery life and use but there’s some alternatives (like those mentioned) that aim to do better.

Think about “Photos” and “Mail”: there’s an option built in but some alternatives exists and they are better for that matter in my opinion.

You can check out: xBrowserSync

I wish, but at 10MB size limit, it won’t do

Yes, that’s a great idea. I’m tempted to do that but my old NAS is hardly keeping up with all the services I’ve deployed on it so far

Sorry I’ve been out of the loop, the encrypted sync isn’t safe anymore? I’m using forks since a while but I rely heavily on sync

I’m in too, thanks for your generosity!

Would it be possible to have pictures of the boards you mentioned as well? You got me curious !
