Used to be a major advocate of Firefox as power user for almost 10years after switching from Maxthon/MyIE2 as the previous best browser.

Now I just use https://Vivaldi.com ... far more customisation and features than Firefox. Even includes some of the power addons Firefox used to have as good addons... before it became the complete noob dog shit like it is now.

Seriously Mozilla can go fuck themselves (I mean they already are, they lobotomised there browser into a crappy chrome clone in all but engine backend) maybe I should make a website like majrko.fyi competently trashing every aspect of Firefox. I can't even stand it (it pales in comparison to what it could be with the previous addon system) and it's new stupid slide menu system is just a big fucking waste of time designed by idiots who haven't a clue about good workflow. And the complete lack of customisation and features compared to Vivaldi is joke (or even what Firefox used to be capable of..so sad)

At this point vanilla Chrome is just basic google garbage, but I wouldn't goto Firefox because of it's so called privacy aspects.. I'd goto Vivaldi instead for the features.. Privacy is dead.


dunno where you get that, for me Vivaldi is better than chrome and firefox, along with providing decent ux (ie addons firefox used to have)

fireefox is complete garbage now, its not any faster and the ux is absolute shit, and no more decent addons to fix it.

and I use vivaldi at work on a piddly 2core 2.4ghz laptop..so wtf are you running vivaldi on to be saying its sluggish.. total bs


I didn't mind image based ads with a clickable url.... that was ok...

what was never ok was the javascrap that is loaded along the advertisement image.... this is where all the creepy tracking and privacy invasion takes place.. . browser vendors have been absolutely fucking shit at providing end users with finer controls over what inside JavaScrap is allowed to be run...there have been addons over the years that have provided more finer grain control, and even the various ad blockers.

It's an social issue now because the industry that has grown around this constant tracking and surveillance doesn't give a fuck, infact they're practically funded by globalist scum to keep doing it. Goolagdo all evil mantra, being the worst offenders as they have always had the agenda of data collecting everything. With the likes of MSuck/Faceb0rg/twatter etc and even Moztard corp, all just pushing this insanity along. Never mind all the chum 'partners' involved.


I moved away from Firefox, Vivaldi is just far better...Mozilla screwed up, you can get better built in features in Vivaldi, than Firefox even has addons for.. because those retards at Mozilla.. they might aswel work for Google.


You'd think they spend more time actually making Edge not shit..


It's ok when more companies switch over to linux aswel you'll start to see ordinary users more accepting of ditching windows 10.. MS has turned windows into complete garbage.


Firefox ceased to be a best browser the day it released Quantum.. That day sealed it's fate into irrelevancy.

I use Vivaldi.com now (chromium based backend, with alot more effort put in than those who work at google or mozilla or any of the fking companies with huge amounts of money doing fuck to improve the user experience with a web browser).. all the other browsers pale in comparison to the features and customization that is built into it. Sorry Mozilla not sorry you are are fking idiots for the direction you took with Firefox, you killed it. You let everyone done, you didn't care about the very user and developers who made your browser popular in the first place.


Gutenberg, and this whole medium.com style look to websites layouts and interactivity just makes me think it is about time for an Apocalypse. Probably starting with silicon valley going down in a sink hole (make it goolag first).. like real soon please.

I'd rather go back to reading sites off geocities with starry backgrounds and little animated gif's everywhere..at least those looked like someone had fun putting them together, than this automated fking pile of readability styled over sized fonts design for people who can't see good shit that is getting spewed out from so called website 'designers' and 'content writers' if you in anyway like this style of a website design and user experience for readers, just kys... I mean at least think about it, perhaps reflect on how awful you are as a human.


Imagine getting this worked up about black text on white backgrounds.


Could you describe your online reading conditions? Device, distance to screen etc.?


Goodbye, Firefox (TLRD I switched to Vivaldi.com for a far better browser)


Goodbye, Firefox (TLRD I switched to Vivaldi.com for a far better browser)

I switched to using https://Vivaldi.com last year after going through a whole bunch of web browsers to find a adequate replacement for my once favorite pre quantum Firefox browser with 70+ core xul based addons... The best I could find was Vivaldi, it's chromium engine based however the developers behind it have really taken to providing power user features and a good level of customization for the front end ... adding at least some of the features Firefox addons used to be able to provide. Not to mention it still allows me to use the garbage chrome store extensions, which while they will never compare to the old Firefox addons, it's at least better than scrap like dummIEs browser, flOpera, and defaulty chrome goolag Garbage and of course whatever fail Mozilla work on.

Seriously Mozilla have been making themselves irrelevant, for at least a decade since Firefox 4.0 they have been adding allowing retards to add crap features, mess around the frontend gui while not actually improving anything just causing more work for addon developers and the those who make good theme. The only good thing they did was push the standards for website rendering. Now they have self lobotomized the best product they had by cutting off the addons that kept it being the browser power users and influential users would recommend out to the less techie friends and family who now all just use chrome crap. Firefox(quanturd) has now become what might aswel be a chrome clone that while practically falling to it's knees in supporting and copying all the same crap Goolag does... so basically a whole lot of developer time is wasting just making their version of the same shit, instead of ever getting around to developing useful features for end users. .. at this point MS is smart for just using the chromium backend, ofc MS are even more rubbish these days and will never improve the front end user experience and features even with more time to spend on those areas and they'll probably not update the chromium source thus dragging things behind again.

And starting with the garbage web extensions api, that was the death nail for Firefox the moment they thought throwing technology like XUL out, that had allowed third party addon developer to create vastly more powerful addons for the Firefox web browser (NOT every other mediocre noob garbage browser, which is the goal of web extensions, when the best addon you can mak for your preferred browser could be ported to other crap browsers and is also limited by such a poor and limited api as implemented and agreed on by a consortium of morons with agendas of the company they work for ie Goolag, crApple or MicroSuck..) than are possible for Chrome, not to mention the customization and power user features that came with that addon support. These new employeed dolts that started infesting the Moztard organization threw it all away to level the play ground with all the other rubbish browsers like Chrome and Edge, etc..

So now they find themselves competing with zero advantage, and they have such morons working at this place that they don't even bother to implement the best power user addons in the actual browser that they broke.. Which is funny because if they did that, I wouldn't be using Vivaldi.. To this day many addon developers behind very popular addons like TabMixPlus are still trying to get these retards at Mozilla to actually improve the web extension crap format to not only fix bugs but improve on the api's that would help them re-implement the addon that made Firefox any good in the first place... check this thread https://tabmixplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19942 .. it's a been a whole year, meanwhile Vivaldi practically just implemented most the features that TMP added for Firefox directly into Vivaldi options.. wtf have Mozilla done, nothing like that, they might aswel be the same idiots that work at goolag on chrome with its garbage user interface and feature standards.

Stupidity doesn't even begin to describe Mozilla, I have nothing but contempt for the organization for what they have done and the kind of morons they have working at the place. And it is sad because as a power user and someone who used to recommend Firefox as I really do miss having a web browser that had 70+ core addons that all went to making my browser highly customizable so I could have it looking and working the way I wanted, while providing a great experience and interaction with the web that was vastly superior to anything else on the market. Not anymore though, since Quantum wreck came out last year. And now he legacy browser of Firefox that supported all those vastly better xul based addons has ceased to get the updates required to render sites properly, performance issues have increased more bugs and for years Mozilla have been messing with frontend css changes etc and breaking customization for there own crappy visual design and garbage inferior features.

So yeah http://i.imgur.com/481pHyo.jpg ...farewell Firefox (that was an old screen of Firefox, FF versions onwards Moztard broke more of the interface I gave up maintaining any sense of a good theme and more addons started breaking).. Firefox you were once the best, now you are shit, to all those at Mozilla go fuck yourselves. You cater to mediocrity and noobs, you deserve to disappear, followed by the rest that follow and set your direction into oblivion.
