  I swear mozzila is trying to kill itself. They make the wrong choice 99% of the time.

    I think its popularity as a viable alternative to the google dominated browser ecosystem contradicts this.

    So long as it’s an optional feature that doesn’t impact core functionality, who cares?

  Why? Who is asking for this ?

    Microsoft probably paid them for it.

  Maybe this is a 4D chess move by Mozilla, making everyone leave Firefox which makes Chrome such a monopoly that Google has to split with it.

    Isn't it chromium-based?

      Yeah. I miss Opera Presto, some real competition. Ladybird can’t come soon enough.

      Firefox? No, it’s gecko based.

  I wonder how much this will affect the development of derivatives, like Waterfox and LibreWolf.

  • plz1@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Waterfox has been great so far. I only switched from Librewolf because updating that on MacOS is frustrating.

      LibreWolf messes up timezones and makes scheduled content appear at unwanted times. That would normally be fine if there was a way to temporarily switch to your normal time zone in the settings for scheduled posts and chats, but they provide no way to do this without major tinkering in about:config (or whatever the experimental page is); that’s why I returned to Wx, which, yes, has been nearly flawless so far.

      If you use brew.sh, you can install Librewolf and it'll update whenever you update brew.

  I've been using floorp, hope this won't affect them too much. I don't want to use chromium

  Work involves a lot of Google product usage, and I've switched to Vivaldi for that (I was using Edge prior). For personal use, it's been Firefox forever, but I'm trying Librewolf and Waterfox now to see how they work for me. Firefox really seems like it's lost its way.

  Thank god I left Firefox a long time ago.

    Where did you go?

      I’m currently using Vivaldi and it does what I need it to do. I tried to stick to ideals by not using chrome engine but lately the Firefox engine had been trash for me. Really poor video playback, laggy scrolling, significantly slower page loading.

      I don’t know what’s going on over at Mozilla, but the quality of Firefox has tanked really bad. I was a Netscape user, then Mozilla browser then Firefox. But I just can’t keep dealing with the frustration. I just started trying other browsers like Zen and Librewolf but they had the same crappy performance for me. Decided to try out a chrome based browser and for now I’m content with Vivaldi’s offering.

      On Mac and iOS I really like the Orion browser and I’m waiting for it to be ported to Linux. Ladybird is another one I’m keeping my eye on.

      This is where I’m at right now and I’m sure in the future it will change again.

      I went to qutebrowser and librewolf. I'd recommend both of them
