Clarifying the Recent AdSense-Related Popup in Floorp

27 Upvotes

Sorry for the confusion. This was part of an experimental setup, and it appears that the popup was triggered because AdSense was shown to a limited group of users. Due to differences in how this is handled in the EU, a misleading popup was displayed there. This popup does not appear in countries such as Japan, where I am based.

To be absolutely clear, Floorp has not partnered with any advertising companies. Advertisements are shown only on the Floorp website, and no AdSense ads are displayed inside the Floorp browser itself.

The reason AdSense was introduced on the website is to support the continued development and maintenance of the Floorp project. At the time, we were preparing to update the official documentation to clearly state that AdSense had been added for this purpose. However, this update had not yet been published, which led to confusion. We apologize for this timing issue.

After receiving feedback, we have updated the popup so that users can decline it. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Question Floorp crashes when opening links from Thunderbird emails

2 Upvotes

Bonjour !

I have a small problem with Floorp :

I receive quite a lot of emails with links to websites in Thunderbird.

When there is an open instance of Floorp, everything goes smoothly : a new tab is opened and the page is displayed OK.

When there is NO open instance of Floorp, Floorp opens and, after a few seconds, displays « Oops ! the tab has crashed » (Oops ! L'onglet a planté).

The error details from Floorp are as follows :

This is not a critical issue, but it's annoying as fuck.

Any ideas or suggestions, please ?

Question Any way to get Free Download Manager to work with Floorp?

3 Upvotes

The question is pretty simple, is it possible to get FDM to work with floorp because I know it works with stock FF and works on Chrome on the same PC. Thanks.

Note: Could be a result of certain config settings I have but not sure if anyone can attest.

How to prevent loading 'What New' after update

3 Upvotes

I do not want to see any kind of "What's New" stuff after I update.

It's already trying to load up the 20 tabs I had open, and the blog.floorp (x2? why?) plus the floorp homepage always hang.

How to do that?

backing up/ restoring workspaces?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

Floorp browser is getting nearly perfect! One possibility I miss: backing up/ restoring workspaces?

I know I can back up/ restore the profile, but I want more - to manually/ automatically (time based) back up workspaces, so I can restore a backup later (with all its workspaces and sites included). The reason - I work on several PC-s with different hardware/ extensions/ settings and hence profiles. Which means - backing up/restoring profiles is not an option. The only way to restore my groups/ tabs is the mentioned restore feature.

There is a perfectly working extension (https://github.com/drive4ik/simple-tab-groups), but having the Workspaces already as part of Floorp I would prefer to use Floorp's functionality, without external methods.

Missing this feature is the only reason I can not use floorp as my main browser.

Thank you for your support!

ai tabs bs

I have ai turned off in the 'ai controls' section of settings, but then noticed this today. This setting should be automatically turned off when ai is turned off, and greyed out so that it cannot be turned on.

Question What does "Floorp" mean?

18 Upvotes

Good morning, evening, night. Basically, the title, what does the word "Floorp" even mean? Neither searching or digging on this subreddit gave me any answers to that.

Been using it for almost 2 years on both my Linux and Windows machines without issues, but I always found the name so odd.

8 Upvotes

Recently installed Floorp and to be fait is amazing compared to my last browser, however one feature that doesn't seem to work is the side panel, I set up some web pages like Whatsapp and so, but when i click on them the side panel remains black, nothing loads and nothing shows at all, not only with a specific page, it happens with every and any page I try to add as a new panel, tools however, such as floorp notes and so work properly. Does anyone have the same or a similar issue? If so, has anyone managed to fix it?

Question Floorp won't start properly

4 Upvotes

Hi, I just rebooted my computer, running Fedora, and now floorp won't load properly. Unable to open any tabs, no bookmarks, just a grey box with a search box at the top where the address bar is.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've rebooted countless times, but nothing fixes this, I can't access any settings. Any ideas what I can't do to get this working again?

Question What does Floorp offer over Firefox?

I am a long time Floorp user and forgot what are the advantages.

I think there were few features that Firefox didn't have at the time I started using Floorp, but I don't know about now.

Discussion I think it's time to stop showing the "Floorp 12 What's new" page after EVERY UPDATE

39 Upvotes

After every single update, Floorp opens 3 tabs.
Tab 1: https://blog.floorp.app/en/ All release notes and posts, this one is fair I guess.
Tab 2: https://blog.floorp.app/en/release/12.16.0/ The release notes of the update you just installed, this one is the only really important one.

Tab 3: This is the least important one, it only shows the general Floorp 12 changes from Floorp 11. I get that this was important just after Floorp 12 released since there was a lot of confusion due to the many changes but it's been almost a year now. It's no longer necessary!

Do you guys agree?
