I don't feel like talking to posts proxied from reddit.

Given that Eich was the leader of Mozilla for a short while but he found it hard to stay kinda makes me think Mozilla's leaders are currently better (or at least more acceptable). Can you point to leadership at Mozilla as "bad"?

Opera GX has promised to keep MV2 in their code. So I'll just keep using that until I see something different. The other thing is that Opera GX has built in ad-blocker which is pretty much on par with third parties.

I couldn't find a source for either of these claims. Can you help me out?

Firefox can't fix all the broken sites in the world, but they do investigate issues reported to https://webcompat.com

You can help by reporting sites that don't work for you.

I'm asking you what the misinformation is. Is this harder to investigate because the software is closed source? In my mind undoubtedly yes. I know it was harder for ME to investigate because it wasn't open source - no open issue trackers, SCM repository, whatever.

So please tell me why what I said was misinformation - I'm really curious.

But it is, because making users download a 2GB repo and looking through the code, or crafting custom filter rules to investigate how rules work is harder than looking at a hosted source code repository (like what Brave has).

Where is the misinformation?

I never used those, but I have been using Winger for a while. Not a strong recommendation, but I am continuing to use it. I also heavily abuse tab searching and switching via the awesomebar.

I'm using Fedia - must be an issue with replication or something. I have no control over that, sorry.

Would it be interesting to y'all if I wrote about how to capture performance profiles on Firefox for Android so that you can report bugs to developers?

We’ve been anticipating it for years, and it’s finally happening. Google is finally killing uBlock Origin – with a note on their web store stating that the extension will soon no longer be available because it “doesn’t follow the best practices for Chrome extensions”.

Now that it is finally happening, many seem to be oddly resigned to the idea that Google is taking away the best and most powerful ad content blocker available on any web browser today, with one article recommending people set up a DNS based content blocker on their network 😒 – instead of more obvious solutions.

I may not have blogged about this but I recently read an article from 1999 about why Gopher lost out to the Web, where Christopher Lee discusses the importance of the then-novel term “mind share” and how it played an important part in dictating why the web won out. In my last post, I touched on the importance of good information to democracies – the same applies to markets (including the browser market) – and it seems to me that we aren’t getting good information about this topic.

This post is me trying to give you that information, to help increase the mind share of an actual alternative. Enjoy!

You might not know it, but Firefox was once widely considered to be an innovative browser. It wasn’t just an alternative to Internet Explorer (and now Chrome). Firefox introduced honest-to-goodness new features that people loved and rely on to this day.
