This is a short tutorial for you Gab users, on how to use the Dissent feature based on my usage... As of this day, the Dissenter Browser is obviously outdated, so I switched to Brave Browser.
So far there are three methods to "Dissent":
- Using the Dissenter extension (both Firefox / Chrome based browsers)
Steps:
a] Download the latest release of the extension in Github: enter text
a.1] for Chrome-based browsers, download the dissenter_chrome.zip file. a.2] for Firefox-based browsers, download the xpi file (dissenter_extension-0.1.10-fx.xpi).
b] Manually install the extension to the "Extensions" or "Addons" under browser settings
b.1] for Chrome-based browsers, (1) extract first the zip folder to a new folder; (2) Settings > Extensions > enable Developer mode; (3) click "Load unpacked" then select the folder of the extracted dissenter extension. (4) click "Details", then enable "Allow access to file URLs", and [optional] "Allow in private" if you want to Dissent in private/incognito mode.
b.2] for Firefox-based browsers, (1) open Settings > Addons, then drag xpi file to the Addons list.
- (for Chrome/Chromium Edge you may encounter "Developer Mode Extension Warning" popup, you should download and install this patch enter text so far I don't encounter such warning on Brave browser.)*
c] Go to any webpage, then click Dissenter Extension icon > a menu will appear (wait for a few seconds)
d] Login your Gab account, and you can Comment + Share to Gab for that specific URL)
- Using Harambe's Toolkit extension (Chrome-based only)
Steps:
a] Install this extension: enter text
b] Go to any webpage, then click Harabe's Toolkit icon > Dissent this (a new tab will appear: a dedicated Dissent page for that specific URL)
c] Login your Gab account, and you can Comment + Share to Gab)
- Manually enter the webpage URL you want to "dissent" (works in any browser)
a] Go to any webpage, copy URL
b] Open new tab/window, enter this format in the address bar: https://dissenter.com/discussion/begin?url=[copied URL of the webpage you want to dissent]
c] Login your Gab account, and you can Comment + Share to Gab for that specific URL)
Personally as of now I prefer method 3 due to overwhelming traffic still going on Gab. Hope this helps and happy dissenting!
