A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Let 'im. Blah, blah, blah....all the programs you run have access to the data within, I stopped listening at 4:05, he got a little too excited about the app having access to data, I mean, wtf?! Mozilla was simply spelling out the details so this guy now has a thing to pick at and become excited about.
Drivel.
Worth keeping an eye on: Zen, based on Firefox, getting quite close to Arc
Didn't watch the video but what possibly they can be switching to? Epiphany? qutebrowser? Emacs?
Edit: Finally had time to watch it. TLDR he's switching to a Firefox fork which I was assuming it was entirely something else just looking at the title. Well, at least we have forks. However for the base code, Firefox should continue to live, otherwise we won't have forks either. He raised some good points though. Mozilla does really look like they want to go for-profit way.
For what? There's not a better option, everything else is based on Chromium which is just moving to supporting Google, and also just removed v2 extensions which cripples what you can do with the browser.
I don't think anyone should ditch Firefox at this point.
Nice try Google.
