The fuck else am I supposed to use?

werks on my machine

99% of extensions will not in a few months

work*

sigh I haven't decided on a replacement yet, barely also just got home here

What else is there?

And use what instead? Everything else is fucking botnet

What happened with that spying thing mozilla is implementing? Is it in effect on the newest version? There were ways to try to disable it but I don't remember what it was.

I don't got the links but it is active, for now I just blocked google analytics the very least.
Buuuut... it has to go, no denying that.
There is a thread here somewhere describing it

I scanned through the archive and unless I missed it, I didn't see anything about it or the steps required to remedy it.

I don't. I switched to Chromium month ago.

Firefox is a botnet you dunce. You can't escape the bot net, even if you don't have a computer you're apart of the bot net. Enjoy your life as a part of the botnet.

What is the problem? Mozilla is overhauling all the internals to make it competitive with chrome and while the extensions will not be as powerful, it seems that Mozilla is working on extending the webextensions API (in a way chrome can implement it too if they want) and making easier to deliver cross-browser add-ons. Also being high level it theoretically should fix the problem of add-on breakage each time there's an important change in the internals of the browser.

it's kinda fast. i like it better than chrome.

All it's about a chain of trust. Of course as long you use any piece of software made by other people there's no 100% guarantee that it's not screwing you. That's why regardless of being open or closed source it's important to check the reputation of the companies or entities (and individuals if applicable).

Why are you syill posting this thread every day?
Everyone knows moz://a screwed up completely and almost everyone stopped using it because of that.
Some people still use it because its far from the worst browser
So why do we have to get 30 of these threads EVERY DAY AAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHH

>make firecucks a shitty chrome clone
why would anyone still use it when it has no redeeming features over chromium?

I'm talking about performance but if that's your opinion go on.

>Palemoon
>IceCat
>Waterfox
>Vivaldi
which one Sup Forums?
Also Iridium I guess, if you can install it from aur now.

How is Chromium? Worth switching from Firefox?

qutebrowser fag

It was here earlier today actually, I hate to say this lol, but it was some discussion on r*ddit in that thread from a week ago. People are incurious all over, my self included

Most of them will be replaced with something else. Safety first as xul was shit.

err furious as hell
enjoy your botnet lol

Copypasta:

ALL of the anti-Firefox shills can go fuck themselves in this thread, every last one of you. Easy way to disable:

"Firefox users who don't use Get Add-ons can disable the functionality in the following way:

1. Load about:config?filter=extensions.webservice.discoverURL
2. Double-click on the preference, and remove all characters so that the value is blank.
3. Restart Firefox."

It's that simple...

I bet NONE of these "concerned" privacy advocates (aka shills) even have a librebooted thinkpad and are freaking out over a STUPID little script that does very little to affect their privacy and can be disabled with two clicks, while at the same time their proprietary BIOS and the Intel ME/AMD PSP are LITERALLY raping their system from top to bottom and selling their data and privacy to the highest bidder along with every single five eyes ALPHABET agency out there. Fuck all of you shills, go to hell.

It has its issues.

I switched from Firefox because of slowness issues. However I might switch back once Firefox fully transitions itself to newer addon front. Hopefully that will mean its speed will be improved. That was my main issue.

What versions of Firefox is this necessary to do on? Just 54?

It was already improved earlier this year

Not sure, but if your version has that option in about:config I would just do it. I think I read Firefox say that if you turn on Always Send Do Not Track in preferences it should take care of it. I would do that as well just to be safe.

I'm on 53.03 and it has that option, so I did as you suggested for both that and the track request setting. Thanks.

No prob

Why not?

If you can find another browser with good (and free) gesture support (besides palemoon) please let me know.

What about ungoogled chromium?
github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/50

Vivaldi. I like how many functions it had out of the box.

>Most of them will be replaced

>Pale Moon
>Waterfox
OMMG there's no choice!

Vivaldi is proprietary. Waterfox and IceCat are just Firefox with some minor tweaks. When it switches so will they. Pale Meme is probably the best of the lot, and even it is slow and has shit for addons compared to vanilla firefox.

google shills are sad

how much you get paid for this?

Reputation = Invitation to the botnet.

Says increasingly nervous Google employee for the 10th time this week

I use Firefox and I will continue to use Firefox you fucking stupid chromebot nigger, fuck off.

I went back to opera, literally improved chrome.

99% of poojet-quality extensions gone

...

if you had sane hosts you wouldn't worry about that which you would need even more if used any other major browser

I only use FF for porn sites since it's where I installed noscript. Otherwise I use the botnet for normie shit.

I'll use it till FF57. When support for vimperator drops I'll switch to qutebrowser.

Nice try faggot.
Waterfox, Palemoon , Cyberfox.

>chromecucks shilling

other than privacy stuff, is there any reason to use firefox over chrome? i am seriously considering to switch

TreeStyleTabs

Nothing else comes close.

Guise, i found the idiot!

Why is Firefox so popular in Germany ?

I don't use extensions and I never have.

unlike most autists i can hardly wait for 57, the only thing i hate are the animals and their cancerous colours

Do you guys notice any differences in user experience when running this instead of Chrome (my previous browser)? And how secure is this browser with respect to committed bugged code and browser updates?

this is not a chrome thread
>the nerve on those shills

no real browser thread so figured might as well post it here

no shilling intended

Why?

I'm using beta right now with only webextensions trying to ease myself in and it's a mess. I might install ER when 57 is released and wait a year for things to get usable.

>Why?
looks nice
>it's a mess
its 50% done what you expect

>looks nice
You can preview the new ui in nightly

ye i know. there was also some site for that, i saw the reader icon is text now which is great since the retards fucked up the shortcut

then why would you use firefox? extensions are the only reason to use it over anything else

>extensions are the only reason to use it over anything else

yeah seriously

>extensions are the only reason to use it over anything else
for you, faggot

No no, i'm pretty sure it's the same for everyone.

o rly?

ye rly

chrome has more extensions tho

kys ignorant fool

rly rly?

Would have switched to Ultron earlier, but Sup Forums kept saying it was even more botnet.

vimperator
