I feel like at this point I am in need of an ansible for browsers :D

Comming from the netscape and the likes, having made many circles around many browsers, I am slowly getting to a point where I simply do not trust any of them anymore. Even Firefox makes moves that I dont like, like social logins and other syncing stuff that, for my personal usecase are completly useless and all I want is a html and javascript renderer.

I know, old dogs barking at the train, but I believe that it's us that are to blame for this. Because you know, we build the things....

Sometimes I wonder if our craze for frameworks are to blame for this and the fact that a sponsored framework will -always- have more cash to spare.



It would be crazy for Firefox not to advance. Yes they haven't done everything in the most communicative way, but the average user now expects password and bookmarks sync and wr all should be grateful they manage to cater to an audience beyond just the IT crowd - else the web would truly be dead.


yes sure and I agree, but I know a lot more people, who do not use these features at all and even more that do not know, that they even exists.

Look I have nothing against these features, but if you want to find out what I really do not like, usen an OpenWRT router for a day and have it track outgoing dns packages.
