forget about them

uBlock still works, so i really have no problem.

>using firefox

I continue running 52 ESR and wait for the bleeding-edge faggots to sort all this shit out.

Browser extensions were a mistake.

I mean if advertising and javascript were completely banished from the web somehow, along with the UX fags that brought us "flat design" after bringing us australis, you might have a point. But as it is, the internet is literally unusable without extensions.

no it's not you goddamned drama queen
what addons outside of ublock and umatrix would you 'need' anyways

Cookie management, Smart HTTPS, something that kills canvas fingerprinting, decentraleyes, a referer-blocking addon (uMatrix can spoof it but not block it entirely, and has no per-site whitelisting), a redirect skipper/link cleaner.

This is before you do anything with userscripts or anything cosmetic.

those are all available in firefox though
what the fuck is the point of this thread

i don't understand how the retards who can't do basic research even find this fucking website

>drama queen
You're the one claiming that nobody should need extensions beyond the ones you personally approve of.

Not that user but there are lots that I find very useful. Literally every one of pic related was installed for a specific reason.

>'need'
I don't 'need' to be using anything but Edge on Win10 but I sure as fuck don't pick a browser only because of what I 'need'. I use the browser that I find comfy and which can use all the extensions I want. I'm sure I could open up network settings and manually enable my proxy every time I need to hit a site blocked in my country but I don't want to, Alt-X is way easier.
I'm sure I don't 'need' to go find out what the latest mirror of some torrent site is but it's nice to have that taken care of carefully.
I don't 'need' to reopen my browser every time I try to close a tab and fat-finger Ctrl-Q instead but it saves me aggravation to just not have the problem.

This is literally all you need anything else is bloat

simplistic forms of them are sometimes available. You can fuck with the referer policy in about:config, for instance, but again, there's no way to block it with an option to whitelist sites that it breaks. Same with cookies.

I don't understand why you retards hate functionality, extensibility, and customizability, and want everything to be some minimalistic, broken piece of shit by design.

The extensions that resolve those issues are compatible with 57...

>I don't understand why you retards hate functionality, extensibility, and customizability, and want everything to be some minimalistic, broken piece of shit by design.
Those people are just a mix of Stop-Liking-What-I-Don't-Like mixed with a failure of imagination and a lack of empathy.

They think that any problem that they're not having is not actually a problem and therefore is just people being 'precious' or some shit. And of course, because they don't understand why others don't like something, or like something different...they don't recognise those likes as actual valid desires, it must be some Milquetoast luxury that no 'real' hacker like themselves would stoop to indulging in.

Basically, they're conservatives but the Sup Forums version.

these have nothing to do with the web at all, it's all client-side workflow. whatever grievances you have with the web in >the internet is literally unusable without extensions
isn't relevant

>MAFIAAFire Redirector
there's a working chrome version, just port it

I was saying that the functionality you've listed are available with 57+ compatible extensions already

I have ublock, Mega, Greasemonkey, DownloadStar, HTTPS Everywhere and Vertical Tabs Reloaded. What else do i need?

you forgot NoFacebook, NoSocial, NoGovernment

>>The extensions that resolve those issues are compatible with 57...
>>I was saying that the functionality you've listed are available with 57+ compatible extensions already

I'm not arguing that, most of the functionality is available in webext form now. I'm saying that legacy or webext, you need extensions to have it, and that extensions, including extensions other than UBO, do useful things that you really ought to have.

The people I'm bashing are the "you don't need extensions, extensions are bloat" and "you only need these X extensions, anything else is bloat" faggots.

I wanted to like quantum, but its shit.
Some websites I use daily work really buggy with it.
The animations are weird and I have no idea why the hell they exist.
Guess I will have to switch back to chromium...

upgrade to the previous version.

>unironically browsing the internet without tree style tabs
i feel sorry for you.

Is there a viable replacement for Hide Tab Bar With One Tab yet?

>these have nothing to do with the web at all, it's all client-side workflow. whatever grievances you have with the web
You fail at reading comprehension, I'm not that user.

Client-side or web, I have uses for extensions that aren't compatible. And some of the basic functionality sucks anyway, the status bar might not even be able to be restored with an extension now and I liked it. I don't think it's possible anymore to move tabs around the way that TMP does.

that's ironic, dickhead.
it's mostly the people complaining about extensions breaking who exhibit shortsightedness

>waah firefox is a chrome clone
>w-what about the addons that i use with

You're ridiculously salty for a thread where people just want their extensions to work.

I'm trying to say that you should stop giving people shit for liking things you don't like. Why are you even in this thread? You just haven't called enough people dickheads today?

Aah.
>dickhead
You're a bruce. m00t was right.

I''m going to call bullshit
What sites are buggy?

>What sites are buggy?
google translate is fucked up for me. The whole browser hangs for 2 minutes every time I hit a key in their text area.

I'm giving people shit for spreading FUD when they haven't done the minimum amount of appropriate research

If you're not gonna respect the subject matter than you can fuck right the fuck off

They learn English

Works perfectly fine here
Tested on linux and win10

Installed Brave
It's literally the anti-firefox
Developed by Brendan Eich
Former CEO of mozilla
Before THEY ruined firefox
Brave is built on the blink render engine
just like Chromium is
but with built in ad blockers
and sane privacy defaults
unlike Chromium

Why would anyone continue using firefox now?
Their slogan is "As fast as Chrome, sometimes."

Chromium engine, ads blocked.
Fastest possible browser experience.
Install Brave.

>I'm giving people shit for spreading FUD when they haven't done the minimum amount of appropriate research
What kind of research do you expect them to do, you bruce.

The extension they liked doesn't work, there aren't any alternatives, this sucks.
How much research does it take to find that out?

I don't think that's 'disrespecting the subject matter', whatever that means. You're seriously butt-hurt about people wanting their extensions to work.

>less control than firefox (no about:config)
>less extensions than quantum
No, this is still shit on desktop.

butthurt rustcuck detected
how's that firefox user exodus working out for your Servo engine?

The fuck are you on about? Did I hit a nerve talking about your shitty browser?

lol
looks like I was right on target
stay mad

You're an idiot

github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/2185

>What kind of research do you expect them to do
A simple google on the recent changes, rationale and alternatives before they make threads complaining about:

>SJWfox
>Chrome clone
>my adblock and noscript and httpseverywhere dont work anymore

The less known extensions I can empathize but there have alternatives as well. I used pentadactyl myself.

> You're seriously butt-hurt about people wanting their extensions to work.
They don't want that when it's obvious they're starting shit threads in bad faith. That's when I tell them to fuck off.

Use qutebrowser

>They don't want that when it's obvious they're starting shit threads in bad faith. That's when I tell them to fuck off.
Of course they want their extensions to work, how could you possibly get the opposite impression from this thread?
What the fuck is 'starting shit threads in bad faith'? You're claiming that people's extensions not working is trolling you?

Bruce is retarded.

It was a well known fact that they were doomed before FFQ

omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/07/firefox-marketshare-falling-off-cliff-former-mozilla-cto-thinks-knows

FFQ was their only hope. Just look at that decline last month

gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-201611-201711

FF on suicide watch
FF BTFO

Why are you talking about marketshare? That fact is brave is not better than firefox.

>Of course they want their extensions to work
tell me what they're achieving by making threads such as these


now fuck off back to retard

>tell me what they're achieving by making threads such as these
Apparently they achieve making you extremely butthurt, which is an end in itself.

I could really tell you about those other two threads because when I try and load them in ff57, they're just blank screens. The render engine is being flakey for some reason.

>being a quantum beta tester
top cuck

might install that shit in about 6 months when it's not a buggy mess. staying on ESR until then

>status 4-evar

won't be moving to the new shit firefox until this is ported over and they haven't even given developers the toolbar API yet
>devs have had le 2 years to update their add-ons xD

>Firefox

Why would you even need the tab bar open wasting screen space if there is only 1 tab? It's fucking retarded

so wait, I've been sitting on ESR till this shit settles down. Is 57+ stuck with that distracting variable-sized status bar like S4E-less FF previously was?

yes, just the pop-up in the bottom corner when you hover over a link

S4E is still waiting for mozilla to release the toolbar api before it can be ported

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TFcEXMcKrwoIAECIVyBU0GPoSmRqZ7A0VBvqeKYVSww/edit#gid=0
see number 72

>disable ctrl-q shortcut extension
See, that's your problem right there: You're a fucking moron.

...

Don't care. I only use Ublock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere and both work perfectly.

Notice how Firefox's numbers drop right when Quantum got released. These developers are so fucking arrogant to think they can turn Firefox into a Chrome clone and win people back from Chrome.

The only reason I stuck with Firefox is because of it's customizing abilities, and many favorite addons. Take all that away, then I'm switching to Chrome, which is faster and far more stable.

Mozilla should have stuck with XUL, made it easier for developers to get contributions, offered monthly prizes to addons that received the most downloads, new innovations, etc.. And also invested in addons that could attract user's away from Chrome. That's Firefox's best chance for survival, by doing things Chrome can't do.

Good thing it's aviable for 57

I have to agree.
However when mozzila literally removes functionality from their about:config that was in the previous versions and literally tells you
>just install this add on

kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.closeButtons
>This preference is removed in Firefox 31

You are fucked.
Never got into the plugin craze.

tree style tab or an inferior substitute?

Works for me.

How am I supposed to download videos off twitter now?

Firefox + VimFx was the best vim-keybindings-based web experience. Now we're stuck with FF + Vimium (which lacks VimFx's features, and doesn't work on non-website tabs) or qutebrowser (which is nice and minimalistic, but also lacks VimFx's features, especially since the switch to a new backend, which was necessary but a step back features-wise).

>he doesnt use youtube-dl

>which lacks VimFx's features

I didn't use Firefox until now, so I don't give a shit about said extensions, because I only want like 3 which are available.

>Firefox is today as good as Chrome in most ways, and better in some (memory use for example).

Not sure if serious.

It is if you know how to configure it. With default settings its not.

Most of mine are converted over already or just completely unneeded now. Like for example I used to use classic theme restorer but when firefox updated to 57 it pretty much kept how I had it looking anyway.

What's the best browser to balance battery life and performance?

Links.

How do I resize this shit?

rolled back to ;53.
Downthemall is mt life and blood.
Still better than hydrus for some site.

Quantum is great.

has anyone forked firefox and stripped away all the bloat yet?
or is there a light weight browser compatible with firefox addons?
or is there just a decent browser in general to use instead of ff?

I also have browsers that work. It's silly to limit yourself.

Firefags forget forks. FF could die tomorrow and my Seamonkey and Pale Moon installs would work just fine.

Chrome could die tomorrow and my Chromium install would work just fine.

If a browser hurts ur dumbfuck fee-fees, use a different one or code one yourself. QNX fit an OS with GUI on one boot floppy and it was fast as fuck.

auto-hide is cancer

I fell for the pale moon meme

learn english you fucking streetshitter

wasting screen space having the tab bar open when there is only 1 tab is cancer

Having the UI move itself around when you open a new tab is distracting

How do I make Firefox look good on KDE

I mean sure I can remove the borders and such but then I lose my favorite buttons like close or minimize

if the tab bar is on the bottom where it should be, it appears and disappears seamlessly

lol

but it's the cutest browser

Do you think I'll share my secret clubs here?

I just downloaded it.
Its alright. Might use it instead of chrome, but there is no appchan x support, and that will be a tough nut to swallow.

dark background light text
Tab groups
thumbnailzoom plus

cyberfox is pretty good

>Things that didn't happen.

Use keyboard shortcuts. Mouse window management is a trap.

Not even meming.

can confirm. just tried using it again and its shit

I just need a way to prevent tab overflow. I can't believe Firefox still doesn't have that option out of the box.

I only use NordVPN extension for FireFox and it works with 57

Tree style tabs
Though you're going to need to edit your CSS to get it working nicely:
@namespace url("mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
#sidebar { min-width: 0px !important;}
#sidebar-header {visibility: collapse;}
#TabsToolbar { visibility: hidden;}
.tabbrowser-tab {visibility: collapse;}

I use Chrome instead. I still open Firefox to use webvr stuff (i.e. porn) with my Rift though.

There aren't too many features missing with QtWebEngine, the main things coming to mind are caret browsing (which is work in progress) and pdfjs.
