>firefox can now take screenshots of itself and upload them to mozilla's servers
Seems a little odd of a feature. Maybe if it was a built-in, local tool like Window's Snipping Tool it wouldn't be a concern. But it seems a little odd that it can upload to mozilla's servers. Who would need this feature?

>using firefox
>not yet using pale moon, a fork of a much older version of firefox, as a replacement browser
I used to rip on Palemoon as placibo but I'm now considering it more and more.
What's the addon support like.
How does one disable it?
use a different browser
Plugin support for the most part is still on-par with Firefox pre-version 55 (uMatrix and uBlock Origin are perfectly fine), but because Mozilla has introduced their new WebExtensions API for plugin development in Firefox 55 and they plan to phase out XUL, I'm not sure what the future holds for Pale Moon in the case of plugins.
I installed Firefox 52 ESR and am sticking with that until its support runs out next year. After that I will look at my options. Firefox is dead to me once they cripple the addon system this year. New "features" like this don't help.
never mind, I found it
extensions.screenshots.disabled and extensions.screenshots.system-disabled to true
>using a fork maintained by a furry
topkek
pick a three letter agency
First the stupid mute button, now this. What's going on?
so what browser now?
The whole entire industry has gone full-retard this decade. From the JavaScript-heavy hipster web sites, to the degraded quality of laptops made after 2010, to the over-reliance on smartphones and tossing out dedicated devices (like MP3 players)...
I'm just waiting for Silicon Valley to finally come out of its fucking coma.
GEEZ WHAT A COINCIDENCE
I'm getting real fucking sick of Mozilla changing my flash preference to "always ask" without my consent
Mozilla purged all of its talent awhile ago and now it's just slowly dying as the SJWs suck the rest of the life out of it. They haven't released anything lately of value and most of what they're doing is removing existing functionality because they don't know how to support it anymore. The upcoming big "rewrite" is just taking Google's extension system and using it instead.
Sadly there's not really a great alternative as Chrome is even worse. FF57 is the death of Firefox.
Faggots not using brave browser
>no ads
>still works unlike adblocker
I'd rather use software maintained by a furry than continue to use current-day Firefox with all of its privacy-invading and SJW fuckery from Mozilla themselves. Their recently announced Soros initiative to "fight" "fake news" was the last straw for me.
ublock works better
>not using internet explorer
uBlock Origin + uMatrix >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brave
>The upcoming big "rewrite" is just taking Google's extension system and using it instead.
What the fuck, seriously?
It's not even on f-droid. Only google anal slaves can install it, fuck such 'opensource'.
yep. It's just webextensions. Most of the good FF addons die the moment it happens because webextensions are sandboxed to hell and don't have many permissions.
Vivaldi, you faggots.
VIVALDI!!!
>not free, open source software
nigga u crazy
Isn't that just generic chromium fork #148
That's retarded. I hope firefox can just die so palemoon becomes the new go-to.
Works well, not really needed but its cool.
Pale Moon is a meme browser, and Brave is currently too unrefined to realistically replace someone's browser - what would you recommend?
nightly works gr8 m8
>furry moon
>made by a control freak who manually blacklists addons he doesn't agree with
That's highly customizable chromium fork #148 if you must know, thank you
Never thought I'd see the day where someone would say "Better a furry than a leftist" and I'd actually agree with it.
As the years pass and pass, I gain more and more of an urge to return to specialized technology (clocks, calculators, flip phones) and pen and paper. I'm coming to despise modern computer technology more and more with the lack of software/hardware options, privacy and freedom.
but does it have speed dials?
Not to mention the social/cultural issues we've been facing since the first iPhone (narcissism, shorter attention spans, increase in depression and degeneracy).
SeaMonkey?
>privacy-invading
True but there is pretty much nothing that you cant turn off. start here : github.com
>having flash installed in 2017
end yourself
Official Firefox if you know what you're doing. I have ZERO unwanted connections from firefox to anywhere. icecat or palemoon are the other options. everything else is meme.
Use Brave
Same here. I must be getting old. The future is looking shitty
Vivaldi masterrace
You do realize any program can be made to be capable of taking screenshots of itself and uploading them the a server without you knowing, right?
Also,
>and uploading them the a server without you knowing
nope, not without me knowing
Since when do Germans care about their privacy? Doesn't your ISP already have you bent over a table?
Glad to know I'm not alone. I recently went back to an MP3 player to simplify my life when going for walks. I don't always want to carry my phone and rely on it for every little task. Smartphones are horrible at music playback since they don't feature dedicated, physical buttons, anyway.
And this is just a start. If it wasn't for Linux, I would've tossed my computers in the closet by now. I'm already getting to the point where I don't even want to have one anywhere near me unless I absolutely need it.
Can confirm it's a symptom of aging.
Are you serious? germans are the most privacy concerned people on earth for obvious reasons. Thats also why we have the lowest social media usge in europe. even google wasnt allowed to to make pics for their street view shit here ...
And I'm reaching my late 20s. Used to be such a technologist a few years ago, but the apparent move to reduce choice, privacy and freedom in the last several years has concerned me quite a lot. Guess aging is it, but maybe it's also wisdom!
Yup, the purge of Brendan Eich should have been a big red flag to anyone that Firefox was going down in flames. SJWnazi liberals suck ass at everything real life which is why they always turn to crazy activist ideas in order to justify and perpetuate their own existence. But when it comes to actually create and deliver a working product that people want to use...well, history is littered with evidence of their abysmal failures.
nah, i think we just remember the tech days before all the non stop SJW and blatant privacy violations. mid 2000s internet was the best internet there ever will be.
Palemoon dev cucked out recently: he's blocking ad nauseam because of political reasons, among other issues.
Are you clinically retarded or merely lobotomized?
Amen. I long for the mid-2000s Internet, when it was still new, exciting and not full of fucking normies outside instant messaging services. Sup Forums 100% reminds me of that time and really puts me in a state of nostalgia. In those times, you still had the benefit of having access to all sorts of knowledge AND life was still relatively simple. Smartphones fucked it all up for us. Feels bad, man.
I work for an ISP and my coworkers can't fathom why I don't have social media accounts. Its sickening
internet explorer master race :^)
>>firefox can now take screenshots of itself and upload them to mozilla's servers
Hope they enjoy my porn sites.
Suck this Mozilla.
>palemoon
>not using NetRunner
firefox is open source you cuck you can disable it via the source code why dont you stop being a lazy nigger nigger and learn to read
1995 for computers
2005 for browsers.
1995 was still more exciting.
Yes, any program can do that. The issue is whether or not it's fucking doing that.
Best thing would be to have pedo pics loaded. This way they would get busted for having pedo all over their servers.
Why should we have to? It shouldn't be there in the first place. It should at least be an opt in feature not something lurking in the background no one has a clue it's there.
>why should I learn to read I should have the option of letting people read to me instead of me learning to read
>install pale moon
>sign into youtube
>old style comments and layout is back
I know it's temporary, but god damn that feels good.
>people should stop developing features for software because I'm too lazy to read the manual
Social media is cancerous if you're not careful. When I started noticing that I was even burning bridges with friends and family for not responding to their messages on time, that's when I realized it was time to purge all my accounts. Unless you're running your own business, stay away from it as far as possible. It will never replace face-to-face human interaction.
Again back to my point it shouldn't be there in the first place. It has nothing to do with reading. And as you state it's open source then if that's the case let me write the code into it if I want it. I shouldn't have to be forced to go through some browser source code to turn off a feature that should be turned off by default.
>And as you state it's open source then if that's the case let me write the code into it if I want
You already can faggot
> I shouldn't have to be forced to go through some browser source code to turn off a feature that should be turned off by default.
What you think should be default doesn't matter you are not the retainer, go fork your own browser so you can choose what is default
And you wonder why your country is a shithole.
Anyway, I don't even use firefox. Dumped that shit long ago.
>pic related
oh the sweet, sweet memories. mid-2000s forever
>fuck you I am too lazy to code, also your country sucks
Waterfox or Vivaldi are better options atm than Brave
A lot of people use features like that, such as pu.ush or whatever.
It's primarily for sharing screenshots with friends.
>this + NAM
>NAM
the fps game? i still play that shit with eduke you can play ww2 gi also with it
Don't worry, Mexianon. I still love you
you realize changing one number in config allows your precious AdNauseam right?
Now that I think about it, you're probably right. People aren't even aware of those privacy concerns and lack of choice most of the time. It's tempting to think that if it were common knowledge, nobody would tolerate any encroachments, but honestly do normal people even care? I'm starting to think it has more to do with autism/paranoia than with age.
this, we are growing old, at 14 I embraced everything new (discovered there's hundreds of pings on me after installing my first firewall) because I was literally not capable to realize downsides, today I'm kinda retro, slow with upgrades because each upgrade takes much and adds little or something completely unwanted (like Pocket and various shit into Firefucks)
Naw. I mean the NAM mod for SC4. Changed the pathfinding for the AI and made traffic/pedestrians much better. Also added a bunch of new road types, some with railway integration for trollies and shit.
It was amazing.
try no music, no phone when outside walking or exercising. you think you need music, that it enhances it... blah. then your mind is trapped being influenced by the music. don't use music to close yourself off to the world and others. using headphones, staring at a phone, is all antisocial "don't acknowledge my existence plz" shit. and it's dangerous listening to music while walking or being outside in general. it limits your survival ability if you can't clearly hear the world around you.
>each upgrade takes much and adds little or something completely unwanted
Especially microsoft, like how they snuck Win10 upgrades in on many people and the CEIP (customer experience improvement program) shit. I mean this is your computers fucking operating system, thats shit that should not be allowed to be fucked with for any reason.
You're also getting the rope on the promised day
I've been listening to music on the go for so many years now, that I've never really considered tossing that out entirely. You absolutely do have a point, though. I would like to experiment with the idea, just to be able to better engage with the world around me and be that much closer to nature. Plus, it would save me some money on replacing headphones!
Too many wiggers and their loud ass ricers around now to enjoy a walk outside. I'd rather have music.
I'm 20 and I feel the same, mate. People rely too much on a screen nowadays.
I was too young back then but I still can remember those days.
Like I said earlier, if it wasn't for Linux distributions and the BSDs, I would have either stayed on Windows 7/XP with it disconnected from the Internet or given the middle finger to computers altogether. Windows 10 and Mac OS are UI and privacy disasters. Keep your telemetry and tablet interfaces the fuck out of my PC.
That is a problem, though. If you're on a train especially, forget about it. Headphones are a must in that scenario if you want to retain your sanity. Otherwise, no music is doable outside cities.
>smartphones fucked it all up for us. Feels bad, man.
Yea, I'm guessing smartphones mess up the brains ability to focus and damage to the attention span.
>dem feels
Mid 2000s up till the end had the last best games.
Solid state drives didn't become scalable until end of 2010. No point in storing all the mass surveillance data if it takes you forever to access and search the data using old disk HDDs.
I also don't use headphones.
That way I can hear Niggers coming.
Apkmirror research it
>Yea, I'm guessing smartphones mess up the brains ability to focus and damage to the attention span.
Spell check has made us look like retards.
So Im not the only one huh? I often have days I consider simply cancelling the internet. As fun as shit posting has been, none of this is positive for mental health. Can anyone even remember what it was like before it? I think the net gain of access to unlimited information is offset by the destruction of social bonds. Its a double edged sword, but slowly they are dulling one side and the sharp one points at us.
It snaps a pic of your screen and through your webcam every time you go to a problematic website.
Thank you for convincing me not to use headphones on the street anymore
Does anyone consider Sup Forums social media though? What is the modern accepted definition?
We socialize on here all the time, you fucking faggots.
>What is the modern accepted definition?
I would start with not being anonymous.
You're not the only one. When I move away from the roommate situation and into my own place, I'm going to refuse to get broadband Internet. I've already been avoiding TV for almost a decade. The most I'll do is tether from my phone for very important tasks, like managing my finances and reading up on new red pill material, but that's it. I've slowly begun decreasing my dependency on technology and I plan to continue doing so in the coming years. I often wonder if my social anxiety is partly due to the usage of screens and accessing information and news 24/7.
I fucking hate the term "social media." Whatever happened to "forums" or "threads", which are what Sup Forums more or less is?
