Could you elaborate a bit on why it was much better?


There's a nice addon for Firefox, called Priv8: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/priv8/

This is a Firefox addon that uses part of the security model of Firefox OS to create sandboxed tabs. Each sandbox is a completely separated world: it doesn't share cookies, storage, and a lots of other stuff with the rest of Firefox, but just with other tabs from the same sandbox.



Try http://meet.jit.si instead :)


The only problem right now is that there's no WebRTC support on iOS :(


You mean in Safari on iOS? Native apps can support WebRTC, like Facebook Messenger does.


You can also try https://meet.jit.si/

Works directly in the browser (thanks to WebRTC), nothing to install, no need to create an accound.

There's group video chat, screen sharing, youtube video sharing, collaborative text editing,...

And it's free software :)


So what is a good brand of laser printers that work well under Linux and accepts unofficial toners?


Brother. Look for:

- BRScript3 (their clone of PostScript)

- ethernet port

- a "D" on the end means it can print on both sides, duplexing. It's slower but oh so much more convenient.

Printers with all these features start around $100.


Yup. I have had two brother printers so far. The first was about 8 years old when the paper feed became unreliable, so I replaced it with a newer (color) model. Prints great, takes whatever cartridges fit, works fine with Linux, windows and osx. Haven't tried network printing from Android or iOS yet.

Disclaimer: I probably print about five pages a month, so it hardly sees extensive use. I also don't print photo quality stuff, mostly role playing maps and characters for gaming sessions. But under those constraints, it's been great.


Good service too. Brother sent out a Pitney Bowes repair person free of charge for my $350 color laser printer.


This is great actionable info, thanks! I just googled around for printers with these features, and learned something I didn't know.


Haha, broscript... Sorry, thought I was on Reddit.


Cheap Samsung B&W around $60-70. I've used two over 5 years, very good.
