Discover Hidden Gems: Open-Source Software You Should Know About

We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let’s change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
  2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
  3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Check out last year’s post for more inspiration: Last Year’s Post

Let’s create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!

I advise you to post any recommendations to the original post, I was just sharing it here so others can find it! I also wanna see those recs myself so that’s the motive for posting this 😅

    They went too far in pursuing their foolish dogma and castrated a decent browser to the point where you don’t want to work with it at all. For example, they removed the interface element that allows you to save passwords, even though the password manager is still there.

        Do you even read the bullshit you linked? That’s three lines of selfish nonsense telling me what’s best for me. But if I missed something, I would love to hear from you how to enable password saving the old good firefox way.

          On that page it gives the setting to enable Mozilla Sync

          If you were remotely nontoxic, I’d copy and paste the setting for you

              I honestly wonder if the OP in that thread is in good faith or has some other problem screwing up his config. No, neither FF nor LW randomly change settings on you; you have some process, somewhere, that is either corrupting the sqlite db or straight up changing the config.

              Anyway, if you literally did a web search

              how to enable mozilla sync in librewolf

              you would get the correct answer, which works for 99.99% of people 99.99% of the time:

              To enable Mozilla Sync in LibreWolf, go to the about:config page and set the option "identity.fxaccounts.enabled" to true. After that, you should be able to log in to your Firefox account and use the sync features.

                I don’t understand why you’re trying to steer the conversation toward mozilla sync for the second time, ignoring the original saving password problem. If I needed mozilla sync, I would use it. But I don’t need it. I don’t want it.

                So that you don’t make any assumptions, I’ll just show you what the folks at librewolf have patched out in their struggle against suitable UI:

                There is no way I know to have it back into the browser except to find and revert the patches and compile librewolf yourself.
