Thread 106390968

They've officially lost the plot. Firefox won't make it to 2030.

>Firefox won't make it to 2030.
You said the same thing back then.

>>106390968 (OP)
I would like to use this opportunity to congratulate Firefox on mobile for finally getting a download manager as of last week. It's been a long journey and I'm proud of you.

>>106390968 (OP)
You can just right-click delete it though.

>>106391172
>just remove the icon
>just turn off ads in settings
>just disable it in about:config
So much cope for a failed web browser

I switched to brave and it straight up doesnt have a proper bookmark manager like firefox? Am i missing something? This is actually retarded.

>>106391212
>What are settings

>>106391253
why would you use bookmarks when you have tabs?

personally I think it's a good thing, outsourcing menial tasks to AI is exactly its best use case and it'll allow humanity to accelerate productivity to heights never seen before

>>106391077
I haven't used that shit ever since they disabled support for all but a few whitelisted addons

Ew, never touching Firefox again.

I'm surprised Mozilla beat Chrome to this considering Google's fixation with AI.

>>106390968 (OP)
Im not switching to chromium bloatware unless firefox removes MV2

>>106391897
Its going to happen, just a matter of when really. I don't think it'll be soon though.

>>106390968 (OP)
I struggle to see the real world use case for this. How often do you actually need this?

>>106392084
True, Google basically owns Mozilla at this point.
But Mozilla, unlike Google, let's you download addons as XPI files. Many extensions distribute XPI outside of Mozilla addons too. The extensions can self update on their own URL without touching Mozilla servers at all. So I just save my MV2 addons like uBlock and sideload them. You can do it in Chrome too but you get shitload of warnings and "untrusted extension" everywhere. Firefox just treats it like any other extension (or more accurately, addons.mozilla.org like any other extension source, there is no special treatment other than search bar and promo on extensions page)

>>106390968 (OP)
Still on 128 because they funked up the css editing.

were you not around for dissenter?

>>106392369
Bypass paywall clean got banned from Mozilla and Chrome extension stores too, surprise surprise. The dev offers it for download on his page, and it auto-updates by having a manifest update URL point to his page instead of addons.mozilla.org. Dissenter could have done the exact same thing but didn't because
>muh first amendment I need to be on official mozilla store because free speech !!!!
Addon stores are stupid anyway. If you get filtered by an extension being banned from a mainstream addon store then it's just a skill issue.

>>106392469
no, dissenter got heuristically blacklisted

>>106392543
>heuristically blacklisted
Can't find any evidence for this, but even if so, Firefox is open source. Just patch and recompile faggot, big deal. You already have to patch it for hardened_mallooc and kde global appmenu, what's one more patch.

>>106392598
>blames the victim
and this is why no one uses kikezilla anymore.

>>106392598
Dissenter died as soon as it got kicked off the mainstream app stores. No I am not spending my evening customizing my web browser so I can read someone blaming the Jews for a tooth ache

>>106392685
found the j-ew

>>106392629
>>106392685
Free speech stuff should never be accessible to normies anyway imo. They would just pollute it and liberals would take it down instantly. It's better to keep this shit on private self-hosted/decentralized infra, instead of indexed and well known big tech servers, which are obviously censored and won't let any of that kind of shit fly.

>>106391286
Extremely efficient

Ironfox and Fennec just got an update that slowed loading sites to a crawl. Did Firefox just release an update that fucked up the mobile version or something?

>>106393109
Seems like the same issue with the pip button on videos and the header bar in fullscreen

>>106391324
They did that when? I'm able to download all the same add-ons on IronFox and Fennec as I can on pc.. Sometimes it'll lie and say that something is unavailable, but by turning on desktop mode it can be downloaded and it'll work normally.

Do actual people still use Firefox at all, aside from maybe a few geeks and oldfags? Most people I know have switched to Ungoogled Chromium or Brave.

>>106394301
man, SEVERAL years ago, couldn't tell you when exactly, had to have been before 2020, never tried other forks, just switched to kiwi browser on mobile and never looked back

>>106390968 (OP)
Half the reason to use firefox is about:config, take advantage of it

>user_pref("browser.ml.enable", false);
>user_pref("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
wow

>>106394503
Pretty much...

>>106391253
Control+Shift+O doesn't work for you?
Brave is a great (Chromium based) browser. Try to make it work for you.
Turn off the crypto shit.
And you still have V2 (Ublock and Adblock)

>>106394936
>no windows support
DOA

>>106394936
I looked into it a while ago and have some hope. It's backed by real companies and seems to be making progress.

>>106395022
Good. Though I'm sure they'll add it, unfortunately.

>>106390968 (OP)
They made the mobile version marginally less shit with the latest update by finally fixing the 'open in app' behaviour if you have it set to task. Previously it'd just start loading the page in Firefox no matter what when the prompt appeared. Now it actually prevents loading until you tell it whether you want to open the page in an app or not and dumps to a blank page if you select yes.

>>106395022
They're working on it: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/38
Need I remind you, the guy behind it wrote an entire OS and Ladybird was ported from it, I'm confident they'll manage to wrangle their browser to run on Windows. It's just low priority because all the devs use Linux/Mac, and Windows is for normies, they're pretty much mutually exclusive.

>>106394533
You do know Kiwi browser has been discontinued right

>>106391212
But enough about Chrome

>>106395022
>>106395144
No need for windows support. By the time they get it finished, windows 12 will be out and anyone worth their own brain will have moved to linux already.

>>106391077
Shame about the new Android menu putting all the important buttons on top and completely destroying usability.

>>106390968 (OP)
They're a cancerous growth on the side of Google. They could have zero users and would still exist, the userbase doesn't matter even a little bit.

>>106395271

Soon to require AVX2 cpu kek

>>106394936
I'm switching from Firefox to Ladybird as soon as it's in a state sufficient for daily usage.

literally came to the board just now to see if anyone was talking about this. immediately turned that shit off what the FUCK were they thinking

>use Firefox
>constantly stops loading sites after a certain number of tabs, stuck on the grey loading forever
>memory is fine
>load up LibreWolf
>just werks, even with same number of tabs open
Huh?

>>106396330
man I appreciate what they're trying to do but totally breaking websites in the name of privacy and security is too far, waterfox is good enough for me

Are they adding these features in the hopes that they can get OpenAI or Anthropic to pay them to make their LLM the default as a backup plan for the Google deal?

>>106390968 (OP)
I'm this close to making my own fucking browser. Everything is so shit.

You know what would be a perfect use case of AI in web browsers? To detect if a page is AI slop.
Also desu summarization is one of the more useful things LLMs are good for, so functionally adding something like that to a browser kinda makes sense.

Cool bro any more disgusting information about your life you want to share?

>>106399612
As a matter of fact, yes I do and thanks for asking.
I use AI to analyze videos in real time and let it changes the settings of my connected cockring and dildo to match the speed of the action.

I've been using Firefox for the past 20 years.
I've grown used to all the add-ons I have installed, and never wanted to migrate.
Firefox literally refuses to browse the internet right now. I'm posting this in fucking EDGE.

I'm old enough to remember when /g/ used to shill palemoon, ice cat or iceweasel and other firefox forks like that. I haven't been here in nearly a decade. Are those still /g/ or are we all Brave/Chromium users now?

>>106402293
>Are those still /g/ or are we all Brave/Chromium users now?
Almost all websites and webapps are optimized for Chromium-based browsers, so yeah, it's either Brave or Ungoogled Chromium.

>>106402374
>it's either Brave or Ungoogled Chromium.
Which one should I choose? How do I "ungoogle" Chromium?

>>106402391
>Which one should I choose?
If you're a normalfag and don't want to bother with a browser, use Brave. All you have to do is disable its internal cryptowallet because it's a bit annoying. If you're more advanced and are willing to spend some time configuring the browser, use Ungoogled Chromium.

>>106401693
That's not the issue. AI is a sign of enshittification. It should be opt-in or available as an extension if you're really that brown that you can't do your job without it.

>>106399421
I'm sorry, I can not help with that request. Your face has been scanned and faxed to Benjamin Netanyahu's office.

Guys... how the FUCK do I disable thing new "feature" where it tries to pop up a preview every time I hold left click for more than a second or two. I like to hold left click while watching youtube videos to fast forward, and every time now I get a pop-up from firefox.

>>106404482
My God, this is one of the worst update ever released. I regret updating before turning off my laptop. If it wasn’t for ublock this would be my wake up call to switch to ungoogled chromium.

>>106405503
Thank you, anon

Why would I want an AI to summarize a page for me?
If I'm on the page it's highly likely I am either conducting business on it or I already know I like what's on the page.
More AI with zero use case.

>>106391212
Just install Tor Browser. Just utilize the tb-updater script. Just utilize Mullvad Browser from the same source. Just utilize all the other Browsers like I2P Browser from the same source.

Why don't you goys install Whonix?
