I only use it because it's the default browser
I switched from Edge to Trannyfox because of Manifest V3
I'm genuinely curious why people dislike manifest v3. It limits the potential privacy and security violations by 3rd party extensions.
>Muh AdBlock
Any browser without built-in ad blocking should be considered malware at this point.
Nobody hates it, but Google really handicap some of the APIs that are required for stuff like uBlock to work as they do right now.
In all, MV3 is a great evolution of WebExtensions, but israelitegle being shit decided to use it as an opportunity to really handicap the user's ability to stop advertising and script customization.
>It limits the potential privacy and security violations by 3rd party extensions
yes and it gives it back to ad networks to spy on you.
>captcha: XMSAD
mozilla added v3 to firetranny, but my latest chromium still works with v2 extensions
Google indefinitely delayed disabling mv2, supposedly to iron out a timeline better for extension devs. Firefox supports both but for something as powerful as an adblocker, devs won’t want to commit to maintaining two different versions
That's true, the valuable ones are mv2 and so will just drop their chrome ones
Some will discontinue the mv2 versions because they have more users on chromium, and just maintain a weaker mv3 version on Firefox. Obviously adblockers are the main ones at risk of this but there’s other types of extensions that may have to water themselves down too
It's dying, though.
all the more reason to use it
This is entirely their own fault. They sat by and did nothing as chromium took the market by storm last decade, and now they only exist because Google pays them to ship as the default search engine. They seem to be more interested in making stuff like Firefox colors than actual new tangible features
Because it’s obvious that Google is doing it with the intention of centralizing everything and limiting the power of extensions, boosting the security (read: stopping retards from installing extensions that steal their info) is secondary. It’s not just Adblock, as far as I’m aware Google still hasn’t told userscript extension devs how they’re gonna work in MV3, so I have no idea what would happen to LULZ x for example if they ended mv2 support right now.
And the only two browsers worth a damn with a built in content blocker are just Brave and Librewolf. Even then, Librewolf is just a fork with ublock installed, there’s no guarantee that ublock’s dev can maintain two different extensions when chromium kills mv2. Brave’s shields technically has a ton of potential but other extensions would still be kill under mv3
Not sure, Google had a lot of leverage with Search, and they tricked the FF team into giving them a bit of their sauce while being shady when providing Google's services interop (which they promised to share). I can't find the Twitter thread (I know, I know) right now, but there is an ex-Mozilla employer that told the whole story. Chrome Team was fucking ruthless and downright malicious.
I'll keep trying to find it so I can post here.
Can't believe I found it: https://nitter.nl/johnath/status/1116871231792455686
Pic related if you don't want to access Twitter, even if indirectly.
Misremembered a few things, but the gist of it I got right. Sad.
>This is entirely their own fault. They sat by and did nothing as chromium took the market by storm last decade
I hope you're not implying that Mozilla could ever match the level of aggressive marketing that Google does. Probably like 0.00001% of Chrome users chose it because they did their research and found out it's the best browser. It's all marketing. Sometimes even automatic installs during some unrelated software installers. It's very dirty.
>and now they only exist because Google pays them to ship as the default search engine.
Yeah kinda like Microsoft just handed truckloads of cash to Apple to prevent them going bankrupt which would make Microsoft a real monopoly. Google isn't helping Firefox out just because they are such a nice company. They want to keep Firefox on life support.
>They seem to be more interested in making stuff like Firefox colors than actual new tangible features
It's a web browser. If you can browse the web and watch Youtube and Netflix with it, what exactly is it missing that prevents the masses from using it? Nothing. It's all aggressive marketing.

Well actually... For whatever reason Youtube is shitty on default Firefox for me - the quality isn't 100% correct and when I change tabs the player resizes for a second every single time, but surprisingly Librewolf works perfectly fine. No idea why
>when I change tabs the player resizes for a second every single time
I’ve had this happen for a year now and I have no idea what causes it
>when I change tabs the player resizes for a second every single time
I can't seem to replicate this. Do you have to let it be in the background for a while or something? Firefox 109.0.1 on openSUSE Tumbleweed here. I have the regular version from the package manager but have you tried the Flatpak version?
No it happens every time I switch a tab back to Youtube. On Windows
>On Windows
Found your problem. Firefox has always lagged behind with its Windows version. It works so much better on Linux it's not even funny. I've noticed this like a decade ago and it's apparently still happening.
Really wish it had RSS still. Instead of getting rid of RSS, they should've integrated it even deeper. And WebDAV, if we can't have FTP. Why can't we support open web protocols anymore?
Thought this was a meme until I realized that I actually got Picture-in-Picture on Wayland before some other platforms got it.
The tab resizes on YouTube because you don’t have the bookmarks bar to be visible at all times. This glitch has been happening for 2 years now at least and Mozilla apparently doesn’t feel like fixing it
>I have no idea what would happen to LULZ x for example
nothing
you will just use it as extension, not a script hooked to a script manager
garbage font rendering compared to edge
if i could replicate the exact way of how edge does it i would jump to firefox simply because its the dicky paedophile default browser
Edge is the king now, bow you shits.
i like it a lot
I love this drawing like you wouldn't believe.
Pretty good at installing Chrome, yeah.
Too slow for my taste but I like the customizability. Compatibility for a lot of sites also makes it dogshit in my book, but I hope that improves over time
yeah but brave is better by default.
>inb4 shill
nope, firefox is better than most chromium alternatives, and I wish it was better overall. But at this time, I find brave to be better.
Performance is worse but I'll take it over Google spyware.
hey as long as it isn't googleshit its probably good
>userChrome.css
>userContent.css
>user.js
Yeah, it becomes decent after hundreds of lines of code to fix all the shit the trannie devs ruin in each update.
Atleast it allows you to fix it, even on the phone. You can do tampermonkey scripts and adblocking on android
You have to do that dumb shit with AMO collections though, which sucks. But can confirm. Fennec F-Droid is the main reason why nobody who isn't a normie retard should be running Android in spite of any problems it and its phones may have.
What is really dislike is how it sends an entire unfiltered coredump out to Mozilla's servers by default. They claim they'll keep it safe and secure, but do you really trust that?
Breakpad? Mozilla's breakpad integration shows a dialog box. You have to explicitly hit a button to actually upload your crash dump.
You press a button to restart your browser, the choice to send coredump is ticked on by default
Anyone else experiencing unresponsive tabs on Ubuntu Linux?
not an android. It's unusable and made me go back to chromium.
Browser died when I attempted to copy and paste something so I gave it up..
