>abuse and harassment
Let's be real, it was totally the technical barriers but they had to tack on something else so they didn't look like complete fucking idiots. Although IMO this just makes it worse... """abuse and harassment""" has to be the gayest reason to shut down something, ever.

Since Firefox is a data-mining for profit operation now, the only usable alternatives are Brave and Mullvad. I'm looking forward to Ladybird as a true browser engine alternative.
 
I don't know if this is a Firefox thing or what, but the menu on mobile comes up from the bottom now instead of dropping down from the 3 dots, which I don't get. It's annoying having to move my hand to hit refresh and it sets a little autism off in me. I also can't open a new tab from it anymore. I can't find any settings in the secret settings to even turn it off and about:config doesn't work. Stupid fucking trannies.
 
The Mozilla Foundation newsletter was so insufferable that I unsubscribed from it like two years ago.
Last thing I remember is them asking for donations related to muh abortion rights, and throwing tantrums at youtube because their censorship isn't good enough. Nigger just continue to make your browser and email client and shut the fuck up.
 
Was that Lunduke Jew right about the google money drying up? I know firefox has been removing alot of features lately like pocket, orbit etc as perhaps a cost cutting measure but mozilla will literally go bankrupt without the google money right?

I don't think there's been a decision yet. I found this from two days ago:


According to the article, Perplexity has preemptively bid $34.5 billion on Chrome. Google doesn't seem to give two shits as they've went ahead and totally disabled Manifest V2 (eliminating uBlock Origin on the browser) which seems like it would be further proof of anti-trust.

I have my doubts Google being forced to spinoff Chrome. It would honestly be the best thing for the entire tech world, as we'd likely see a resurgence for general browser wars again (and the recent LadyBird builds are looking better every month. Still have a lot of performance issues though.)
 
In Firefox, whenever I click on the link of a file, it automatically starts downloading it, while asking me if I want to download it. How do I stop that BS and make it wait?

Firefox starts downloading the file for your "convenience" and displays the save location dialog and relocates after. There used to be a config flag to disable this but it's gone apparently.

You mean temporary file writes? As far as I am aware those are just standard browser defaults now and (also as far as I'm aware) can't be disabled, most if not all chromium browsers do that too. Wasn't even aware they could be disabled at some point.
 
New Firefox ESR overrides my personal black-on-grey color settings with searing black on white, unless I say custom colors only which makes everything black on grey. Oh yeah and also that calendar selection thing at web.archive.org is still incompatible with Firefox. Looks like web devs are more focused on making sites work in "Google Chrome" now?
