Let this irrelevant trash browser of yesteryear die already

...

until?

I forgot why I was so excited for tuesday, thanks for reminding

>those improvements
did they hack electricity to move faster or something? what is going to change to gets those increases in speed?

>comes out Nov. 14
>it's Nov. 12
>one more day
wat

It's the 13th in the good Countries.

I'm using the latest beta right now and it's definitely faster than older Firefox releases. It's the first Firefox release I've tried in years that didn't feel like dogshit and make immediately return to Chrome.

Firefox ESR 52 will still work, but this also means less new addons will support 52 as time goes on

rust

Will you gags stay on Nightly or switch to stable? Nighly 58 wasnt faster than Beta 57, so I think I'll switch back to stable.

Probably stable
gr8 b8

It's still slower than Chrome/Chromium and it doesn't offer anything over it that will make people switch to it.

>it doesn't offer anything over it that will make people switch to it.
about:config alone is worth it

How good is qutebrowser? I want to try it, but the lack of extensions is a bit of a downside

everything there opera has been doing for years

Literally unusable with more than a handful of tabs.

Speaking as a Chromefag I gotta say this isn't true. At this point, Firefox is fast enough that the difference between Chrome and Firefox is negligible and so I'll go with Firefox to avoid Google tracking.

You wouldn't have these issues if you were using a monitor with more than 400 pixels in width.

I have to open up other windows.

>been using firefox for years now
>works great
>past few weeks it has been really shitty and slow
just in time for the release of their new gay shit. weird!

>so I'll go with Firefox to avoid Google tracking.
So you'll go for Mozilla tracking?
>uh oh, someone's been reading some restricted "fake news" again
>you're on the list
Not sure which is worse.

i have this problem on my 2560x1440 monitor

You are forgetting about about:config. See firefox gives you the option to disable what you want, unlike chromium based browsers.

Yeah, and much like Windows 10 I'm sure all my meticulous settings are obeyed. Also, Chromium-based browsers offer the exact same placebo buttons.

Monitor your network and see how chromium based browsers phone home with everything possible disabled and see how firefox doesn't connect to IPs you don't want it to with everything disabled.

Well if you can prove it doesn't obey the settings file a bug report detailing the problem so Mozilla can fix it. Your dumb assumption isn't doing anyone any good.

The official Furry browser.

Nah, I'm sure my bug report will be filed away as "fake news" and I'll get put on some weird "antifa" watchlist.

>complain about your data being recorded to the people recording it
ok

I'm ready for Nightly 59.
Nightly is literally as stable as """stable""". There's no point going back to 57 now that I've been on 58 for so long.

>toolkit.telemetry.enabled is now locked to true in Nightly
0.0.0.0 incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org in hosts file. Just a heads up.

>rust
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

lol what a piece of trash

>tfw already tired of it

cool

I'm tired of Chromes BS and am ready to go back to Furryfox

well in itself it's really neat but yeah no extensions I just can't

The most recent Stylish update renders it completely useless. Firefox Quantum will be Chrome 2.0

datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled can still be set to false, although it will still save telemetry data to a saved-telemetry-pings folder in your profile folder. I'm currently experimenting with setting this folder to read-only to see if it stops this behavior. I can't help but be a little sketched out by toolkit.telemetry.enabled being locked to true, though.

Are you going to post any proof to back up your claims or are you going to continue living in fantasy world?

If you care that much than dont use a test build.

Apparently nsITelemetry.canRecordBase and nsITelemetry.canRecordExtended are also relevant booleans.

No, I'm not. And it's not my fantasy world, it's George Soros' apparently. You can feel free to live in it if you'd like. I'll be over here with the other rational people who don't feel like anything they read might be considered "fake news" worthy of censorship and harassment. I'll be over here using a browser that didn't spend thousands of dollars in donated money to remove instances of "master" and "slave" from its source code, due to longstanding programming terms being deemed "problematic" by people with neon colored hair.

bye felicia

>confronted by facts
>fuck, i can't argue any of that, even though it's obviously government sponsored fake news
>better just meme on him

Like pottery.

That's ok. Meanwhile I'll be using a browser made by an organization that donated even larger amounts of money to other projects I'm a user of.

Setting the saved-telemetry-pings folder to read only does not prevent Firefox from saving telemetry data to this folder in Windows, but removing all inheritances and then permissions from the properties of that folder does prevent Firefox from saving telemetry data to that folder. Sorry I don't have a Linux solution for this.

>implying you use any of those projects outside of tor and possibly tails, for what are painfully obvious reasons to anyone on this board

You havent proved firefox doesnt obey your settings. Thats a fact.

I use pypy on a daily basis.

Not him. Nightly was still saving data to the saved-telemetry-pings folder after I set nsITelemetry.canRecordBase to false just now.

>nsITelemetry.canRecordBase: This is generally true and reflects whether any Telemetry data can be recorded.
>Georg Fritzsche
>Engineering & data at Mozilla
>disable this setting
>it still saves data to a telemetry folder
I managed to disable it but I'm sketched out by this.

You're right, I haven't. I also don't intend to, as I don't plan on ever being in a position to find out whether or not it's trustworthy. I'll leave that for some other sucker.

Meanwhile, non-Soros approved "fake news" being "problematic" and wasted donation money on things like removing "slave" from the source and propping up service providers with ties to "antifa" groups are also facts. Not to mention pic related.

Maybe because you're using a test build genius. Use stable or esr if you care enough.

I trust Firefox a hell of alot more than Chrome

they're force-disabling all of your "legacy" extensions to make those claims true until you install replacements and realize it's exactly the fucking same as before

Well going to ESR I guess

one more day until they donate to domestic terrorists again?

>dah oranj fosk iz keepin' we down

Go back to sleep burger

This.

>he's never had a Nightly build literally freeze his computer upon updating

this

>he
Don't assume my gender, mkay?

>'s never had a Nightly build literally freeze his computer upon updating
Yup, never.
The most instability I've experienced with Nightly was a tiny regression with one of my WebExtensions that was fixed on the next update.

>Firefox is slow as shit
>Firefox is even slower with extensions
>New Firefox "Quantum" (oooooooooooooh) disables all older extensions
>OH MY GOSH ITS SO FAST!!!!!!!!11

>You're right, I haven't. I also don't intend to, as I don't plan on ever being in a position to find out whether or not it's trustworthy.
I have, and settings are obeyed. So stop spreading actual fake news by implying they dont.

This. Nightly is stable as fuck.

5 rupees have just been deposited to your account

Dropped.

>I have, and settings are obeyed.
If only you could prove that.

If you're gonna phonepost to make it seem like you're a different person adding to the argument, at least don't copy/paste your own reply with the (You) still there.

You're in luck. Chrome is the browser for evil.

>not just using Nightly as your default browser
Idiots

for what use?

At the least you can turn it off for real, instead of the placebo options chrome/ium gives you and they unironically just collect stuff that helps them make the browser better instead of trying to sell you some shit.

>At the least you can turn it off for real
[citation needed]

Just google the respective about:config settings.

lolwut

?

Yeah, exactly. ?. What the fuck is google a setting going to do to demonstrate whether or not data is being harvested?

Can't wait, then I can switch to greasemonkey and hopefully Sup Forums X stops fucking up, every time I load a thread, it's borken and I have to refresh either one or twice to get it to work.

By Firefox being Open source and no one being able to prove any of these options as snakeoil combined with Mozilla's several outlleashes against Addons that collect shit to sell it. Meanwhile Chrome has been proven to still send data back to google even after you turn shit oof.

>By Firefox being Open source
So is Chromium.
>Meanwhile Chrome
And there it is. The deflection to a proprietary piece of software that shouldn't be considered in the discussion.

The most frustrating thing about this is there's no solution because tab groups is no longer a native extension and all the addons for it are dead.

Like how the fuck is anyone suppose to have more than 30 tabs open, open a second instance of firefox?

I seriously don't understand where they're even going,

>So is Chromium.
Yeah, but
>Chromium is an open-source Web browser project started by Google,

>deflection
You probably like to live in your own bubble, but Firefox and Chrome are the most popular third-party browsers that people install, so a comparison is jut natural.

hacks.mozilla.org/2017/08/inside-a-super-fast-css-engine-quantum-css-aka-stylo/

It's worth reading even if you don't give a shit about firefox just to get an overview of how browsers parse styles.

>You probably like to live in your own bubble
He says, while shitposting on Sup Forums.

>Chromium is an open-source Web browser project started by Google
So what? FOSS is FOSS.

>all the addons for it are dead
bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1384515

>He says, while shitposting on Sup Forums.
And? That comparison makes no sense. Posting on Sup Forums doesn't mean you automatically devalue reality. I'm not the one ignoring that chrome and firefox are way ahead any other third-party browser.

>So what? FOSS is FOSS.
Read it
reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/3z2l9w/is_chromium_really_foss/
>The thing is that it did. There's been a massive privacy breach where Chromium 43 after its installation automatically downloaded a binary blob and that blob was for the "OK, Google"-Hotword detection, meaning that it recorded voice samples of its users and sent those to Google's servers without their consent.

Eh. I'm going to stick with Nightly since it's going to continue to provide backwards compatibility with older Firefox addons (albeit rather spotty compatibility in my experience).

>I'm not the one ignoring that chrome and firefox are way ahead any other third-party browser.
Neither am I, and I don't think anyone else is here, either. The point is that you don't get to point to Chrome as the boogeyman when someone questions Mozilla/Firefox stuff. We know Google is evil. We get that.

>some reddit link
Yeah, who cares? Ubuntu loaded Amazon spyware with it's OS for a while. Firefox has cliqz, Pocket, and fuck knows what else trying to mine your data as best it can. Stop trying to pretend that just because everyone else is evil, that somehow Mozilla isn't.

I use PaleMoon for porn.
Chromium for hentai manga.
And I really am not sure why I am still using firefox. I think it had something to do with some extension that didn't work anywhere else.

>The point is that you don't get to point to Chrome as the boogeyman when someone questions Mozilla/Firefox stuff.
More like you don't get to whine when a valid comparison is made.

>Yeah, who cares?
Nice try to change subject, but you're the one pretending Chromium was good FOSS software compared to Chrome/Firefox, it isn't.

>Firefox has cliqz, Pocket
cliqz is a fucking meme that was literally installed as an addon for 1% of germans, so you weren't just aware of it being a thing, you could one click remove it. The instances of it appearing in about:config have no real value without the addon. Pocket doesn't send data back to Mozilla, but I'm sure you can prove it or wait, you haven't proven anything yet while going full "lol I don't care" after getting proven wrong.
