A good reason why i do not use YahGoozilla Chromefox anymore.

All they do today is supporting simple users. Locking stuff down because simple users can't understand, removing stuff because simple users are offended to have features which they do not understand.

Also removing stuff because SJW guys and feminists get mad because no advanced feature should exist as that kind of features do only support technology advanced guys and insults the general common idiot user only because features like that do exist.

Way to go crapware!

Nope.

It's all about Chromium copies nowadays. Firefox will die if Mozilla dies, I'm sure.

Google Chrome is to blame that we are living in times where idiots reign.

If Chrome never would have existed, we still would have software optimized for advanced users.

Google is to blame for SJW, feminists, simplicity and minimalism and that every developer today is sucking simple users dicks.

And to make it even "better" everyone tries to be like Chrome because the others are just jealous of their market share.

Google should be vanishing, they are to blame that technology goes ten steps backwards instead of 10 steps forward.

And guess where Brendan Eich was kicked from by SJW. Yep, it is NOT google.

Mozilla should allow third party to make browsers based on gecko engine just like google does. Because of this, Opera, Vivaldi and various browser creators improve chrome/blink for free and this is why Chrome is good browser. Not only from user point of view but also browser developer too.

because it's shit code. google had tabs as processes back in 2009. it took firefox 7 years to get to the same level. you can imagine how fucked up their code must be.

>>54783715
Nobody does it because if anybody decides to do that, that person/company will not have their changes upstreamed for compatibility reasons. And there are technical difficulties to port from gtk to other toolkits.

Mozilla does not do other products than browser so if anybody will make better browser than fx based on gecko mozilla will cease to exist. This is reason why mozilla won't accept any good changes.
>>

The thing is Firefox is not superior anymore. It is a fake Chrome browser. Looks like Chrome, feels like Chrome but is not Chrome.

Last time I used it (version 46 or whatever the fuck) they got rid of the menu for some gay faggot ass button that didn't even have all the options. It also locked up after trying to run an HTML5 video because it was running for 3 days, and the shitty fucking piece of shit didn't let me restore my tabs. I guess they're going to multiprocess because they can't fix their fucking browser, so at least if something fucks up it just kills that tab. They obviously can't fix it because FF keeps getting more fucked up with every release.

Vivaldi is what i use too. Features are great, but it is Chromium, so it still sucks like hell.

Also it is only an app and 2 extensions which makes it a pseudo browser only.

Otter Browser and Qupzilla or Qutebrowser are the real deal. Or the concept of Brave (NOT the browser itself) to create a browser with lib-chromium-content.

lib-chromium-content. or QTWebengine are the future, someone has to really make a good Open Source browser with one of that 2 creation methods.

Forget that. You do not have the abilities. Even Moonchild with Pale Moon failed as that was too complex.

Pick either libchromiumcontent and Electron or QTWebengine and QT - More easier and more future proof.
>>
>>54784013
libchromiumcontent means you only use the Chromium rendering engine, all the rest you create on your own.

So no spyware or telemetry or Chrome UI available. Just pure non-poisoned Blink available.

Of course Google and Chromium team says that you SHOULD use the whole Chromium code if you want to create a Chromium based browser, but that is a lie.

You can do it without any of Chromiums UI and API bloats and create a real sane browser like Firefox once was, with tons of features thanks to the UI not a native one. All made of CSS - which offers limitless customization.

>Firefox 24 was released in 2013. I cannot reasonably expect a browser version from 2013 to be as secure as the current version of Firefox.
All the "features" they keep adding to FF are riddled with bugs and holes. It probably is more secure.

All of those are on AMO(signed), there's no reason they shouldn't be working.

Even if they were disabled by the check you can disable the check in the preferences.

I'm using qupzilla. It looks like a decent firefox and uses qtwebengine, which is basically chromium. Userscripts work too, the only downside is that there is only one developer.
>>
>>54784281
Well, Open Source means you can contribute or anyone can take over when something happens.

But better try Otter-Browser - has even more advanced features and offers QTWebengine builds too.
>>
>>54784237
Mozilla will kill the function to allow unsigned extensions. Then you have to install the Aurora build, which means you have to use a not fully stable Firefox version for having your own unsigned extensions running.

How stupid is that.
>>
>>54784347
It's a compile time option. You can build your own firefox without it or you can use one of the unbranded builds they'll provide at that time.
>>

Not even Gentoo users are building their browsers.
>>
>>54784382
Still i have an almost carbon Chrome copy instead of the once fully customizable Firefox 22.

Seeing no reason not to use Qupzilla, Otter Browser or Qutebrowser.

At least that 3 do not pretend to be something which they are not.
>>
>>54784330
I tried otter last year, the gui was strange where the tabs looked as if they were floating and many options were not implemented. Didn't even try testing it further. I'm using qupzilla since the developer is on that shit since at least 5 years and delivers a working product, 4chan-x works on it too which is a plus.
I will take a look at the git branch from otter to see how far it has gotten.
>>54784407

Building firefox is not really that bad. I built firefox in a VM with 1 core and probably 1GB(if not less) allocated to it and I believe it took around 45 minutes or so. It's slow but considering firefox is among the heaviest applications codewise it's probably not bad at all.
>>
>>54783629

Still without Chrome's ever-increasing market share Mozilla wouldn't have bothered to at least try to implement multi-process tabs.

They only try to get all Chrome users on board. Mozilla is trying to be like Chrome because they want to defeat Chrome for personal revenge of being abused.

As a follow up. I just tried the latest git otter browser and am a little disappointed.
Spellchecking doesn't work, even through it wants hunspell when compiling it.
The tabs are strangely floating in the air.
It uses its own fucking icons, ugly kde4 ones at that. That shit isn’t even installed on my system.
Userscripts aren't discoverable, you have to manually add them through the file open dialog.
It’s fucking ugly, with a toolbar that belongs in the year 2000.
Left qupzilla, right otter-browser.
>>
>tfw Firefox user since at least 1.8

it is going down the shitter but since I don't have the ability to code a browser, I'm stuck with stock options. fuck chrome/ium, i gave up android to keep google from knowing so much about me, the same is said for why I don't have their browser.
>>
>>54784944
The difference is i can move almost all elements around, what i can not do with Qupzilla.

So, Otter is perfect for my usage, too bad that it does not work out for you.

But Qupzilla is not bad too ;)
>>

Sure tabs on the side are nice and all, but I really really hate oxygen and can't fathom why they hardcoded those icons in the gui. Apart from that they should both be the same since qtwebengine, duh.

>Mozilla should allow third party to make browsers based on gecko engine just like google does.
They technically did for many years. No one likes all the baggage that surrounds gecko(not even Mozilla) so as soon as a viable alternative showed up(chromium) they all moved over to it except for a handful of very niche browsers like k-meleon. Mozilla is working on making embedding gecko less painful they're making use of electron's APIs to allow you to use HTML5 based interfaces with gecko.

https://github.com/mozilla/positron

>>54783438
It's 2016, let's recap what I want from my browser:

1. The ability to style every single user element with CSS.
2. The ability to block ads, including cosmetic rules. Should be compatible with ABP/uBlock filter syntax.
3. A matrix policy-based content blocker (like uMatrix or Policeman), with the ability to block at the very minimum: cookies, scripts, css, images, XHRs and iframes; plus the ability to selectively enable referer masking and user agent randomization.
4. Support for ICCv4 profiles and full color management, including color management of images, CSS colors and <video> elements
5. Support for pentadactyl, vimium, vimperator or equivalents. Basically, vim-like modal browsing with hints.
6. Support for mouse gestures
7. Support for privacy-centric addons like Decentraleyes or HTTPS Everywhere
8. Support for styling arbitrary websites with my own user CSS (like Stylish)
9. Strong privilege separation, especially between the website rendering agent and the component that actually communicates with my (vulnerable) graphics drivers.
10. A typical suite of web debugging tools (e.g. element inspector, JavaScript console, network request log, etc.)
11. The ability to turn off all telemetry, developer pings, link prefetching, malware checks and other spyware / antifeatures.
12. The ability to plug in libmpv (or a program of my choice) for rendering <video> elements

Firefox currently seems to be the browser that comes closest to providing all of these, although it's still missing:

- Strong privilege separation
- <video> color management
- Ability to use libmpv (well)

Apart from that it's pretty much perfect. Is there any browser out there that provides a *greater* (rather than a lesser) subset of this feature list? If so, I'd love to hear it
>>
>>54785108
>- Strong privilege separation
Being blocked by the addons, this is why Mozilla is trying to get addon devs to move onto a new API

>- Ability to use libmpv (well)
That's not much different from how the flash plugin works and that's a well known trainwreck. I think it's better to just download media and play it locally. I would like all media to work like that really.
>>
>>54785233
>I think it's better to just download media and play it locally. I would like all media to work like that really.
I only really need it for embedded webms in 4chan threads. I don't really want to be downloading those and opening them in mpv one-by-one..
>>
>>54785233
But libmpv is local, isn't it? I just let mpv replace every tube site with npapi.
>>
>>54785270
Plugins are an entire application themselves, the browser doesn't have any actual control over how they do things it only calls on them to run something and then communicates back and forth with them through an API(NPAPI/Pepper). The application is completely exposed to the internet which means if there's a bug that can be exploited given enough users it will probably turn into a major vulnerability.
>>
>>54785108
>- Ability to use libmpv (well)

Does Mozplugger still work? Streaming vids into mpv literally renders most stock web player obsolete.
>>
>>54785442
Mozplugger never worked for me. It sort of “seemed” to work, but it also completely broke focus (made my browser unresponsive).

It's also a disgusting hack. I don't really want to *replace* the video element entirely, I just want to replace the rendering backend. The display controls etc. should still be the same (and still be controllable by JavaShit so that the 4chan extension can control video automuting and stuff).
>>
>>54785108
here's your (you)
>>
>>54785265
>>54785472
I think firefox actually does something like this now or at least supports it. Firefox apparently uses ffmpeg as its backend for decoding media if you have it on your system.

Do you seriously want to argue tabs between Chrome and Firefox?
Do that after Chrome has finally developed lazy loading.
On Firefox, i can load up 187 tabs of fucking wordpress and blogs via Session Manager and there will be no hang or performance hit.
Do the same on Chrome via Session Buddy, even with the lazy loading addons,
and the browser will freeze, the computer will stall, and you won't be able to do anything on the computer for 15 fucking minutes without restarting it. And this is with 90 tabs, let alone over 150.

Chrome can go suck a dick. Even Opera somehow managed not to fuck shit up using the same function.

The thing is that lazy loading loads a bundle of tabs as placeholders instead of loading all tabs in the background.
It will only load the content of one tab, the tab in focus.
I use Session Manager.
Of course, if you have too many ACTIVE tabs, that's bad news for the browser, but you can still manage through that shit. I have the same performance experience with regards to active tabs between Chrome and Firefox.
It's the lazy loading that makes Chrome unbearable for me since i use sessions of many tabs a lot. Chrome always loads all tabs, even if for a second (which is enough to cripple your machine).
Never has a browser pissed me off so much as Chrome has.

But damn are Mozilla dumbfuck devs trying too.

That's what "reload all tabs" takes care of dumbfuck.
Also, unlike in Chrome, Firefox doesn't disable tabs in the background once they have been activated when you switch to other tabs. All tabs that are activated, stay activated and loaded. The lazy loading is a function in regards to initial loading (to eliminate the possibility of DoS-ing yourself with tabs so to speak).
Do you even know what you are talking about?

Because they need to deploy a bazillion updates per week instead of one big update every month or two. The same meme goes on with Adobe Reader. Personally I don't use it but it's always updating and it's just a fucking pdf reader.

Yeah, that's why when i try to load a session of anything beyond 80 tabs in Chrome, i have to restart the fucking computer or wait 10 mintues for the fucking CPU and memory to get their shit together,
while in Firefox i can load 200 tabs all at once and then gradually activate them without any long term fuckups, and no such system breaking thing such as in Chrome.

It's just boot speed. Nothing to do with software induced DDoS.

You are mentally retarded.

Pale Moon is a "fork" separate from Firefox with an active development. It's not simply a copy of an old Firefox. They regularly patch security and bug fixes that Firefox receives. The only difference is they leave out the unnecessary updates like user interface changes and bloatware.

I installed Google Chrome on my computer and it slowed down logging in to my Windows user. Simply because it was installed it slowed down the system startup significantly without even opening it up. I also disabled any automatic updates I could find in the settings. No help. I wanted to just have it as a secondary browser but I had no choice but to uninstall it a day later.

HTTPS* is more secure because your data isn't being sent in plaintext and the site on the other end has been verified to be legitimate(the site that you actually want) rather than some guy that just wants to eavesdrop on you and steal your personal information. On public or open wifi and mobile it's crucial that you use https. Self-signed https is basically worthless though so that's why it gets rejected by browsers

If you cannot verify both ends of the connection are who they say they are then the encryption doesn't really serve a purpose. If anything it might be used to mislead the client into believing they're secure when they're really not.
>>
>>54790241
You could say the same about SSH and GPG yet both are respected industry-wide standards for secure communication despite requiring no central authority mafia.

X.509 is a deliberately weakened standard designed by the NSA to be as complex and attackable as possible.

Let's not forget the fact that everybody with a valid X.509 root certificate can basically subvert the entire system. And there are hundreds of these around. (Every company and every secret service in the world has one)

There's no reason why paying fat money to a central authority would somehow make your connection more secure than using a self-signed cert + HPKP/HSTS. In fact, the latter would be *more* secure. But the X.509 lobby says “no!” to the idea of free cryptography.
>>
>>54790293
With SSH you generally know the server and don't just connect to random servers. If you can verify the other end yourself then there's no reason why you would need a CA, self-signed would be easier to set up and quicker and just as safe but generally that isn't possible for websites so CAs are used as neutral third party to verify that a website's details are correct and you're not connecting to some random guy that is pretending to be google or facebook.

No, I'll tell you what the difference is. The difference is that SSH is based on TOFU, which the web largely neglects. (But the rise of HSTS+HPKP might put an end to this)

uMatrix is more than just NoScript

uMatrix is NoScript + RequestPolicy + RefControl + Self-destroying Cookies + user agent spoofer all in one.

In fact, it's strictly more powerful than NoScript even at blocking scripts, because uMatrix can do matrix-based filtering instead of just whitelist filtering. (That was one of my most major complaints about NoScript)
