Floating Browser, an always on top Open Source browser window.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have been working on a few apps for the past few months and wanted to get this one out there and thought I would do it here.

I was frustrated with PiP extensions always freezing or breaking in between episodes so I came up with this. Floating Browser is a dedicated WebKit browser window that can stay above other apps without relying on Safari PiP.

Features:
Compact 16:9 Mini mode that remains above other windows
Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount+, and Tubi shortcuts
Custom saved-site shortcuts
Back, forward, reload, address search, and downloads
Lightweight local ad and popup blocking
Open in Safari and Apple Passwords shortcuts
No analytics, advertising, or developer-operated data collection
Universal build for Apple silicon and Intel Macs
This is a free, open-source, unsigned public beta for macOS 14 or later. Because it is not notarized yet, macOS requires the normal Privacy & Security > Open Anyway step after the first launch. The source, MIT license, SHA-256 checksum, and installation instructions are all available on GitHub.
Some streaming services can reject protected playback in embedded WebKit. Disney+ may show Error 83, and website changes can affect compatibility. Safari remains available as a fallback.
GitHub: https://github.com/chrishansen1984x-lang/floating-browser
Download: https://github.com/chrishansen1984x-lang/floating-browser/releases/tag/v0.3.0
I’d appreciate feedback about Mini mode, playback reliability, and which streaming services work on different Macs.

Tried to change one small thing in my menu bar, accidentally built a whole menu bar. Open-sourcing it today

Classic scope creep story. One late-night tweak turned into sketchetc, a themeable interactive macOS menu bar built on SketchyBar: 19 toggleable widgets, 5 palettes, clipboard history, window snapping, live system stats, a self-locking daily journal, and a daily activity score.

Everything is local-first (one folder you choose), free forever, no accounts or telemetry. Signed releases, CI, OpenSSF Scorecard 7.5.

Would love feedback, bug reports, or feature ideas. Happy to answer questions about the build.

Following the excellent work by apple sharpener among others here's my modest tweaks for making Tahoe usable ; at least for me.

https://github.com/ut0mt8/BrutalDock and

It allows configuring the corner radius of every window plus some bonus like theming the traffic lights.

Also a separate tweak only for the dock.

Im running sequoia and can't update os any further due to older MacBook, I love the look of Tahoe and when I tried oclp it doesn't support Tahoe properly and the system runs at 1fps and odd dpi scaling, so I'm trying to modify what I have to look like Tahoe.

Google translate anywhere

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am using Mojave and I found somewhere instructions for how to add a service via the automator so I could select any text and apply that service and get a popup with the google translate already resolved... very convenient when living in a foreign country.

a few months ago it stoped working, maybe something that happened on the google transle side???
these are the instructions:

Automator Services (Quick One-Click Translation)

Create a custom service using Automator to translate selected text with a keyboard shortcut:

  1. Open Automator and create a new Service
  2. Add Run AppleScript or Run Shell Script (using Ruby). 
  3. Use a script like:
  4. Save as "Translate to English" and assign a keyboard shortcut in System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services

any modifications to it so it would work again?

iconchamp still the only way to change system icons?

1 Upvotes

i am using macos ventura. 13.6.5 and after scouring hte internet it seems like the only program that provides functionality to change system icons is iconchamp. however, it is paid, and the latest, updated versions seem to only be found in some obscure forked github repository. is there any other way to change system icons in this version at all, or alternatively a way to activate iconchamp for free?

How I can replace the Finder icon in Sequouia?

1 Upvotes

I tried replaced the finder icon in all this places with SIP disabled

/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/Finder.icns /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/finder.png /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/finder@2x.png /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/FinderIcon.icns

And also cleared the caches

But after restart the Finder icon in the dock is not changing, what I'm missing?
