Need to get a non-PC web browser that will let me post images as wallpaper
My Bad Self | March 19, 2022 | Me

Posted on 03/19/2022 2:10:31 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Greetings:

Can anybody here point me to a non-PC web browser that can post images as wallpaper? I have both Microsoft Edge and Gab Dissenter, but neither appears to be capable of posting images as wallpaper. I was thinking of downloading Firefox again, as I've had it before, and it can create wallpapers from images. Unfortunately, I have no idea whether that lunatic who wanted to squash Trumpian internet thought is still in charge of Mozilla.

(FD: I do use Firefox on my work laptop, and it's fine for that purpose and used by lots of us at work, along with Google Chrome. I'm just not sure downloading FF for my home PC is the right thing to do.)

That is not a browser problem.
Browsers do not “post” wallpaper.
Your operating system does that.

No one understands what you’re even asking?

A web browser that posts images as wallpaper?

Non-PC, like a mainframe?

I can’t keep up with who I am supposed to boycott. Benefits of age I guess.

Save the image onto your harddrive, find where you saved it, right click, Set as Desktop Background. FF might be the only one to put that “feature” in the browser, but really it’s easy to get around. Heck if you’re doing this a lot, put all those images in a folder, tell Windows to rotate images from that folder every couple hours.

Did you mean a non politically correct web browser?

You need to get the picture file you want, then you point Windows to that file.

If you are wanting a Bing main page search background image without the Bing logo, you need to dig into the many files that make up that page, but you can get those images, too.

I use a free image program called IrfanView. It can do many things, including posting images as wall paper.

It can even adjust how you want the image posted: Centered, Fill, Tiles, Stretched, or Stretched Proportional.

waterfox - privacy based version of firefox.

BTW, you are running a PC aka Personal Computer and since you say Edge browser, it’s a PC running Windows 10.

Actually, I use Windows 11, and Edge is compatible with it.

Firefox is supposed to be privacy based. How is Waterfox better?

I forgot about win 11 but of course Edge is compatible. It’s Microsoft’s latest browser and replacement for Internet Explorer.

I haven’t heard many good things about the BLM browser, or OS-Antifa, either.
