Is it worth migrating to quantum by now? Did most of the best extensions get replacements? How's your experience with it so far?

Please list the best and essential add-ons.

had to learn how to rice the userchrome.css to make some menu changes but it's allright. Only thing this doesn't have is downthemall but videos can be downloaded with youtube-dl anyways and mass downloading a lot of images isn't really that crucial even though it is nice in some porn threads to save all pics at once

I spent maybe 2 hours on it the other day before jumping ship. I'm trying out Vivaldi right now and it's pretty cozy.

Once they add an API for customizing the tab bar (so add-ons like Tree Style Tabs can remove it entirely), it will have everything I care about. As it is, it's still a lot better than I expected. It's legitimately fast, even compared to Chrome, and it's way more stable than pre-Quantum

You can customize the tab bar with userchrome.css
If you dont know how to write it someone else probably did

Did someone write a “save image to folder” webextension yet?

Quantum is botnet, use Waterfox.

There's a few, including a beta of DTA Lite, but they're shit compared to DTA.

Quantum has no add-ons and Chromium / Edge are still faster. What a fucking failure.

I recently switched from chromium to Firefox quantum and overall seems pretty fucking good, memory usage seems to be lower than Chromium (2.5GB vs 5GB).

The only thing that bothers me is that the right click menu has too much useless stuff, specially when clicking images.

>Open Link in new Private Window
>Bookmark this link
>Save Link to Pocket
>Email Image
>View Image Info
>Send Link to device

I wish there was a way to remove these entries that I'll never use

You can. Look up userChrome.css and userContent.css

>mfw no menu wizard

>go to mozilla folder (hidden folder in home folder on linux, don't know what it is on windows)
>firefox folder
>a folder called "12qqw3aq.default" (or something similar)
>create a folder called "chrome" inside that
>Inside the chrome folder you have to make a file called "Userchrome.css"
>Once you have done that, copypaste the shit below and save
This piece of code removes the listed entries from the context menu so if you want to keep some of the ones I've listed, you can simply erase them. Save the Userchrome.css file, restart your browser and the context menu should be a bit clearer. This list also removes some entries from the tab context menu (like Send tab to device).

@namespace url("mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

#context_sendTabToDevice_separator, #context_sendTabToDevice, #context-openlinkinusercontext-menu, #context-sendimage, #context-savelinktopocket, #context-sendlinktodevice, #context-sendpagetodevice, #context-sep-sendlinktodevice,
#context-sep-sendpagetodevice, #context-viewbgimage, #context-viewinfo, #context-back, #context-forward, #context-bookmarklink, #context-bookmarkpage, #context-inspect, #context-pocket, #context-sep-selectall, #context-selectall, #context-sep-viewsource, #context-sep-viewsource, #context-openlink, #context-savepage, #context-viewsource {
display: none !important
}

CORRECTION: the file you must create in chrome folder should be spelled "userChrome.css", NOT "Userchrome.css".

you can edit all the menus with userChrome.css file

>Did most of the best extensions get replacements?
No just use ESR

This is what the context menus look like with

I put this in all 3 firefox folders that have userChrome and it still doesnt work

Never mind I got it, thanks for all the help dudes

So does Quantum have a Vim plugin worth a shit yet or not?

ok now 50 points to the house of whoever knows how to hide the default tab bar

everything from old FF that you should use (ublock, umatrix, decentral, etc etc etc) has been ported except DownThemAll, which, honestly, is a bit of a pain. there are a few alternatives, but none of which i've found to be nearly as good.

but, yeah, FF Quantum is probably the best compromise right now between customization and speed. do the usual privacy enhancements in the about:config, download a one-line-interface userChrome.css, and you're good to go.

i would build an Ungoogled Chromium but it's honestly too much of a pain to build it over and over after each update, not to mention the way you have to go about downloading extensions is a bit annoying. plus, you can't turn DirectWrite off anymore and that means fonts look like complete garbage on Windows. at least in FF you can still kill that shit and get smooth(er) fonts.

How do you find the id values? I've got an extension that adds an unnecessary context menu item and it'd be nice to zap that too.

Nevermind, found instructions on reddit.

Is nightly stable? I see some add-ons are only available on nightly for now, like the add-on that suspends inactive tabs and supposedly improves ram usage.

worked just fine since day one for me

>stylish
Change that for stylus

>Is nightly stable?


no, but you're free to install and see if the extensions actually work

Vimperator doesn't work. Use 52 esr instead.
