Axios nice! We use it at work, but that's all windows based, so I never looked into it further. I'm a bitwarden user personally, but only the free tier.

    It's not automatic, but KeepassXC can autotype passwords anywhere. I use it that way with my browser too.

      synth-ruiner that's my favorite pw manager of all time...used it for years. But did not notice the autotype function. Love to give it another chance. but the browsers I like are all appimage and flatpak and keepassxc can't talk to the sandboxed apps (or they can't talk to it).

          brent that's kind of my point, I like to avoid relying on browser plugins for password management!

              synth-ruiner would rather do that myself. I'm down to 1-2 addons per browser. I think I used to have too many in the past.
              I even gave up my beloved 'block youtube commercials' plugin because once I read the fine print I kicked myself. "can monitor every tab without youtube in it. can access anything on hdd. can call/recieve data anytime I want."
              something terrible like that. that's when I started weaning off plugins.

                  528491 used the snot out of invidious when I ran gnu icecat for a while.

                  invidious pros: blunt, efficient, clean, doesn't look like you tube, ad free
                  invidious cons: doesn't look like youtube i.e. rec list not real close to what you just viewed (search matrices underdeveloped but oh well)

                  newpipe: cons: phone only. this was a powerhouse in that its a frontend for for multiple platforms (band camp etc) not just youtube.

                  freetube using as a standalone/
                  pros: works, dark mode
                  cons: noisy, busy, chatty, has ads for its own blog and goings on (not ad ads), looks and behaves like you tube

                  I left freetube in plank. I like the idea of standalone frontend just for youtube--a new concept for me, if I remember to use it and not follow a broswer music link into the browser...where do the cookies go I wonder?
                  thanks for the alternatives.

                    528491 J'Accuse:

                    I clicked a link of a guy shotgunning a beer in Invidious and it woudn't load. took a look at umatrix and OOPS SUZY---google wants a personal invite into the browser to conditionally play this video...
                    ....on a FOSS frontend to boot!!
                    W.T.H.? I could just use youtube for that abuse...

                        brent
                        I'm not familiar with the meaning of each field in uMatrix, but if I read it correctly, the google domains only deliver media, right? Which is essentially what you want?

                            528491 he google domains only deliver media, right? Which is essentially what you want?

                            yes absolutely. but it was unclear to me that I would be handling it instead of the app. what I love about Linux is I'm always learning again after I think I know something

                              brent wait until you hear that flatpaks may access your home folder

                                I kind mixed up both of your advices. I did a new install. I am not using my trusty password browser extension. I downloaded old school Keepass (not XC) and loaded up a .kbdx of my info....so now when I see a login field, I can copy login&pass right from Keepass and cut and paste.
                                Going to try that for a while. thanks for the tip.
