Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now
665 by rrishi | 369 comments on Hacker News.
I was having trouble loading GMail in Chrome. I wasn't sure if it was my spotty internet or the browser acting up so I gave Firefox a shot. And behold! Firefox opened it in a jiffy. What impressed me most was that it was able to import saved passwords, bookmarks and websites history from Chrome pretty quickly. Previously, I had imported these to Chromium based web browsers (Brave & Edge) but was afraid that it might be an issue for non-Chromium browser like Firefox, but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. Some really cool observations in first 30 mins of using it : 1. It opens websites really quickly, much faster than Chrome 2. All parts feel really customizable. I was able to get rid of the Firefox View tab really easily (I may explore it in the future because it seemed quite interesting to send links from phone to desktop). It was also easy enough to customize bookmarks bar to only show up in new tab. 3. Extensions ecosystem is thriving . I was glad to find my old favorite: Dark Reader. But I have also found a new favorite - Tab Stash. I also found an extension to download Youtube videos - Video Downloader, something I didn't find in Chrome 4. Clean look that gets out of your way. I had given Firefox a shot in the past and had found Chrome to be a better performing browser at the time. But this time, Firefox seems to really have clicked with me. I'd be glad to learn of any other cool features and extensions that y'all might want to share.

Show HN: We built a developer-first open-source Zapier alternative

For the past few months we’ve been building Trigger.dev and can now share our beta with you: https://ift.tt/LdUtPge . Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven background tasks directly in their code. You write workflows using our SDK, and can view all the runs in our web app. Why we built this: - We found current workflow / automation tools like Zapier and n8n are good for simple tasks, but not for more advanced use cases. - Dropping down into code in these tools is just not a great experience. We prefer using our own IDEs, version control, and having access to GitHub Copilot etc. - Sometimes, a workflow requires us to query a database or handle some sensitive information. It would be great if this data wasn’t sent to a third party. Our beta version lets you: - Trigger workflows from webhooks, custom events or schedules (CRON) - Use API integrations with Slack, GitHub, Shopify and Resend. We’re adding more of these each week. - Add delays of up to 1 year. Workflows will resume where they left off, even if your server has gone down. - Support for Fetch and subscribing to generic webhooks. - Observe every workflow run in the app (great for debugging). - Open source MIT license so anyone can self-host the platform. We’re still early so would love your feedback and opinions. Feel free to try us out for free – and if you want a specific API integrated, just let us know.
