I think it's more like "don't fuck with our workflows and muscle memory just because you've decided DVORAK is the future". But we tend to act as if other people do.
although too slowly for my taste.Įven computer geeks don't have an unlimited appetite for customization, or not all of them, at least. Mozilla HAD to do something to move the browser forward. That model was incompatible with security, performance, and stability. NO browser allows extensions to do whatever extras they want anymore. >"Maybe I'm weird, but I thought the best browser is one that simply works, works fast, and then allows for extensions to do whatever extras that I want."įirefox does simply work. Chrome, on the other hand, is SUPREMELY hostile to user choices and control compared to Firefox. Don't get me wrong, I hate this new "feature" (just like Pocket and other such crap), but one can turn it off easily in preferences. In addition to whatever other things Google wants to shove in their binary. This worked really well for firefox in the beginning, but now it is caught in the same trap of so many other programs."Īnd so you use what? Chrome? Then you are caught in the trap of not being allowed to choose what options you want at all (in many cases).

And that, in turn, could help Mozilla pursue its push toward a privacy-respecting web that's not just effectively controlled by Chrome. The feature could help you customize Firefox more to your liking - something that could help you stick with the browser in the face of Google Chrome's dominance. Other suggestions include installing the Facebook Container extension to curtail the social network's snooping, a Google Translate extension to tap into Google's service, and the Enhancer for YouTube extension to do things like block ads and control playback on Google's video site. For example, if you open the same tab lots of times, it could suggest you pin it to your tab strip for easier future access. From a report: Mozilla's new Firefox 64 keeps an eye on what you're up to and prompts you to try extensions and features that could help you with that activity, the browser maker said. Starting Tuesday, Firefox will nudge you to try out options designed to make the web more interesting, more useful or more productive.
