Mozilla to launch Firefox Cliqz Experiment with data collecting

I'm sorry. Wasn't it enough to destroy all the addons people use Firefox for, Mozilla is putting spyware on the browser.
I'm done this shit

Fucking Mozilla.

nice downfall man

ooh shit that is not all
Mozilla might offer Freemium services in the future
ghacks.net/2017/10/11/mozilla-might-offer-freemium-services-in-the-future/

are they hacked? or drunk?

the hilarious thing with quantum destroying all the customization and this cliqz debacle they are going to lose the few people who cared about them.
and google chrome drones aren't going to change to firefox, if they cared about browsers, privacy or customization they wouldn't use chrome in the first place.

Personally, I like to believe that they've been infiltrated by Google shills.

blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/08/08/mozilla-information-trust-initiative-building-movement-fight-misinformation-online/
I think so too

But those Soros-buxs were fake news, right goyim?

This is the last straw for me with Firefox. I refuse to use Chrome. What does Sup Forums recommend for a browser?

Brave, Pale Moon, Waterfox, or Qupzilla/Falkon

i'm using vivaldi bc of the customization, its not a lot but there is some, and it has some cool features.
it is a bit resource intensive sometimes. and it is based on chromium.
you can install chrome web extensions.

Palememe works nicely in Linux, iridium if you wanna try a chromium based browser

qutebrowser, but the gentoo package wants old webkit, just grab qtwebengine and compile against it manually

We've had this thread every day for the past week.
They changed the default search provider for 1% of germans, wow.
You already get search suggestions from any other provider unless you turned it off.
At least the cliqz botnet claims to not try to build a user profile.

>Sup Forums being Sup Forums
im shocked, SHOCKED

...

>bill yourself as a privacy respecting browser

>everyone freaks out

Basically people don't like change.

There's a difference between searching something in a search engine and having something that datamines everything you type in the address bar. Of course, you shouldn't search with Google anyway, but it's not builtin botnet.

>having something that datamines everything you type in the address bar
And what do you think firefox does by default on a new profile?

>yet another vain attempt at damage control from a mozilla employee
you need a way better rhetoric than that, and dont you have reddit to post that shit onto?

>"You only have to enable the opt-out flag at compile time, tinfoilfag!"

>no argument

>argumentum ad hominem from the same mozilla employee from the past threads
oh, out of shit to post are we? you better gather your collaborators up on irc and decide the contents of next posts, so to not repeat yourself!

it literally collects everything you type on the address bad, not the search bar you twat

wut?
how is that an argument? is the date being sent to a company?

There is no search bar anymore user, that's something you have to enable separately now.

I know this is bait but there's no ad hominem there. Expect for your "mozilla employee" part maybe.

Firefox does that by default with yahoo retard. Not that it's a good thing, but they've always been this way.

>is the date being sent to a company
Yes, it's sent to fucking google if you have google as your default search engine. Where else do you think it gets suggestions from?

>"Our browser is a freemium service now, goy!"
>"Please purchase the silver package to enable extension support"
>"Please purchase the gold package to be able to edit about:config"

on your history

you can disable the search recommendations, I haven't installed firefox in a new profile for a long time, isn't off by default?

What's your excuse for not switching to Waterfox?

Waterfox

>Pale Moon
>forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=16504

You can disable, but it's on by default.

it is done by a student who will probably get a life and stop doing it.
it is probably buggy

sudo apt-mark hold firefox-esr

there problem solved

once again, fbpb, why do threads even exist after the first post?

Fresh install in a vm.

Looks like I was wrong, there's still a search bar in 56 but it uses the default search engine when you type in the address bar.

I'd rather give my data to Google who will use my data for marketing and other capitalist purposes. I'm honestly afraid of what Mozilla would do with my data because I'm a white, straight male.

The search bar doesnt have a purpose since a while now and can be opt-out to leave more space

you know i dont care any more

You should be afraid of Google for the same reasons.

Google are SJWs too you know.

They got rid of it in 57 by default.
It only has a purpose if you regularly search with different providers because it's easy to choose which one you want to use.

We totally repspect our user's privacy guise, because we've added "Do not track"
and integrated shitty version of adblock into our browser

literally what the fuck mozilla is thinking

...

Also curved borders are wrong...

Wait, they've made opera with opera's features again? How well does it do javascript?

vivaldi is based on chromium but it is done by a important guy who worked on opera,
a shame opera is chinese now.

The colors of Waterfox and Vivaldi should be switched.

Thank you for this information. Should I support the Chinese botnet (Opera) or the true CIS browser (Brave)?

Just use a meme fork like Waterfox or Pale Moon.

They already have Google services datamining you and they have had this for years. You could always disable it and you'll be able to disable this Cliqz thing too. Not to mention it's gonna be a fucking addon which you can delete instead of it being buried in about:config.
This is the same as retards freaking out how Iridium doesn't use Google/DDG as the default search engine and defaults to Qwant (freedom respecting search engine). Why are you overdramatic? It's a good move that they want to abandon Google.

Yes, it is. Google is the default search engine in firefox for most people.

I highly recommend Brave, but
has the other two really good options.

pol psyops

stop spreading your shitty politics here inbred imbecile

its slow as fuck, I tried to give it a chance

Why would you not want that?

>>remove npapi
Good thing.
>>remove "legacy" addons in favor of WebExtensions
Ultimately a good thing. If your favourite addon didn't get ported then you should blame the developer for not working with mozilla on a new api.

This.
Search suggestions aren't default.

Yeah, this will stop the nigger monkeys for sure.

>its slow as fuck
Because it's based on 55, right before all the improvements started coming.

I use ff only on android, but it's not rocket science to disable it.

downthemall.net/re-downthemall-and-webextensions-or-why-why-i-am-done-with-mozilla/
It's not the developers fault that WebExtensions simply don't support all the functionality that was available via npapi. The fact is that many addons CAN'T be ported, and the fault for that lies squarely on Mozilla.

For how long can a single man keep the botnet and SJW madness away?

Brave seems good. Nothing like an honest American business man making money with a great idea. I'd gladly tolerate a few advertisements as long as I'm not supporting Mozilla or Google.

>Brave seems good. Nothing like an honest American business man making money with a great idea.

Linus seems to be doing alright. Besides, SJWs mainly care about popular things, so unless one of the forks suddenly explodes in popularity, there's no need to worry overly much.

good thing i dont live in germany

Dunno about Brave. There's too many good firefox extensions, so I'll just hang on a fork for the foreseeable future.

>They changed the default search provider for 1% of germans, wow.

Wait what? Why?

>downthemall
>npapi
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about but I'll answer anyway.
NPAPI is what plugins like java and flash used. What you're referring to is XUL/XPCOM.

>WebExtensions simply don't support all the functionality
Plenty of addon developers worked with mozilla to add new apis.
That's why Firefox addons can now create sidebars.
That's why Firefox addons will be able to create new toolbars.
That's why cookie autodelete extensions in Firefox can wipe local storage as well.
That's why Firefox will be able to have a vim-like extension that works on all pages and doesn't have to have a double address bar like vimium.
If your addon isn't ported then it was probably because the developer decided to be a crybaby as can be seen in the link you posted.

Not a single fuck given, let me know when there's something like DTA for firefox.

t. ((((Mozilla)))) brainlet

Linus doesn't really work for anyone and is in a position where he can say things as they are instead of pretending to think in a "politically correct matter". He doesn't have to accept commits just because the pull requests were submitted by women either. Thank god for Linus.

I'm honestly just using ublock.

Glad I switched to vivaldi

>let me know when there's something like DTA for firefox
If you used for tasks like downloading all the images from a page then Download Star or the upcoming DTA Lite.

Good choice! Brave is fast, has privacy stuff built-in, and sound works great with or without pulseaudio.
Yeah that's the part that sucks. I really want them to add Vimium, then I can be 100% comfy

interesting how they've all fallen due to phones

>quantum destroying all the customization
What?

His snowflake addon that wasn't updated in 5 years didn't get ported.

if i already use gmail and have a google account / use android signed into google. what do i have to fucking lose switching to chrome? is request policy/no-script ported to chrome?

don't forget you also use youtube and google analytics etc... there's no escaping google, no matter how hard you try
>is request policy/no-script ported to chrome?
there's uMatrix which is arguably better than noscript

I've been using Firefox since 2006
I've been afraid of updating ever since this malware shit

Is ungoogle chromium still a thing?

Yeah what is Classic Theme Restorer?
Just one of the most used addons that can't be reproduced in a web extension.
What is Session Manager?
etc
You are talking like removing features is a good thing.
Go jerk off to Moz://a logo.

If you're not german you have nothing to worry about.
If you are german you still don't have to worry about updating because it only affects completely new installs.
Also

see

More to it than than my normie friend.
The thing that made firefox is shadow development, the foundation got the support of hackers and backstage pros.
They lost it the moment they sold out, which is years ago and when the decline started

why cant CTR not be a webex ChromeCSS ist still a thing

Oh look, it's another disguised Brave shill thread.

>Classic Theme Restorer
CTR is an addon with lots of useless features, most of which are simple css tweaks that you can literally copy from CTR source code to userChrome.css

>Session Manager
I believe the only thing that's missing to make a full-featured port of Session Manager possible is the ability to create unloaded tabs.
There's a bug open for that on bugzilla, it might already be fixed.

>slippery slope

>state a fact
>don't even mention brave
>"Ohh look, it's another disguised Brave shill thread."
What the fuck man?

...

Fuck you.
FYI the OP, me, is gay. I don't care about brave.
I'm thinking of switching to vivaldi or one of the Firefox forks.
This is why people hate SJWs instead of making an argument you put a blank alt right label on people you disagree with.
It's pathetic to read.
Hope that I triggered you.

Interesting, how did they sell out?

is vivaldi good for customization?
I tried brave but I dont like the ad blocker thats built-in. If they had ublock instead I would probably use it.

I'm gay too but I hate the SJW companies. People should be hired because of their skills and not because of their gender.

Define customization. You can change the colors so I guess it counts.

customization as in can I move the tabs above the address bar and can I change the status bar

stuff like that

>blaming phones

The real reason was process isolation. On Firefox one tab crashed and the entire browser shat itself, say what you want about Chromium but that was a game changer.

Give me one reason why I should update Firefox and not just Switch to another browser.

And on that note, any browsers you guys recommend that are compatible with umatrix and ublock?

no every site has an app traffic is going there instead of browser
