its just nescape things during a financial bubble.
other such cases.

firefox needs to provide a minimal base where you can build a browser without the UI, like xulrunner was.

I'm starting to consider abandoning Firefox and switching to some Chromium browser. I just keep fighting with it, trying to solve new issues. Since they aren't interested in being Google's competitor, I ahouldn't care either anymore.

yeah that's what I am thinking the last days, why should I stay on Firefox, they put more shit in the browser nobody asked for instead of fixing the bugs which some of are a decade old on bugzilla. why am I gimping myself?

I can't wait for Ladybird to go beta. I mainly use Eww and Lynx, but I also use LibreWolf as my main graphical browser with Qutebrowser as my backup plan. I don't know how much time LibreWolf has left until Mozilla eventually hardcodes AI slop in and all Firefox forks succumb to the same fate.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHY DO THEY KEEP ADDING OPTIONAL FEATURES
I HATE THIS I DONT WANT THIS
I WANT A BAREBONES BROWSER BUT I REFUSE TO USE THE COUNTLESS NUMBER OF ACTUAL BAREBONES BROWSER SINCE I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO CRY ON /g/ IF I DID

Many such cases.

Want to bail on Firefox.

the only logical move would be Chrome because every website works with it and every other browse is infested and paid by google anyway

Firefox still forces me to wait 120 seconds before every post, but Librewolf is somehow worse than that. No thanks.

If you can't even uncheck two boxes in the settings you should probably stick with Chrome.
>>106577777
It does those two things by default. It's very easy to disable.
>>
>>106572462
Unironically, what does waterfox do better than any of the other forks? Its a for profit project with an owner who openly admits to constantly working on ways to monetize it, with a shady history of selling out, whose only major 1 up was that it had vertical tabs built in before the others, but every other fork has vertical tabs now aside from ones based on ESR.

Its literally useless, even its "privacy features" are fucked and weak compared to everyone else. This has to be shilling.

I jumped the Firefox ship when they did pic related.
I tried Librewolf for a year. It's a good browser, but it's made by only 3 insane trannies. And it's a very soft fork, it's 100% dependent on Firefox and can't function with out them. So it doesn't solve any problems.
For lack of choice I had to go with Chromium. It's better than FF in every single metric, very fast and no more captchas in every single site.
The only things I miss from Firefox is the built-in screenshot tool, the HTTPS redirect, and the how easy it was to export my profile.
I know I can solve all of that on Chromium with extensions, but I want to keep extensions to a minimum.

yeah they still didn't fix the shit with the screenshot and putting the navbar magically somewhere
>The only things I miss from Firefox is the built-in screenshot tool
true but it is there with some extra steps, when you open the dev tools and do a ctrl - shift - p for the menu in there and type screenshot

I don't know if there's a firefox/browser general, so i'll just ask here.

Is firefox really bad for watching videos? Youtube works most of the time, but sometimes it just gets stuck before the video has even begun playing.
But what's ticking me off is watching rule34 and other porn sites. Most videos stutter along as if im on dial up speed. Yet i play them in chrome and all is well.

Just done it.
I really wish they would stop forcing this crap upon us

Meanwhile they are dropping 32-bit Linux because 32-bit OS don't have enough memory for all the slop.

>>106582829
now it all makes sense, no?
