Oh, they added yet another """""feature""""" no one will ever use? They should just let Firefox die a peaceful death instead of fucking it up even more.

Nice try cuckfox fags but chrome will be getting FLAC in next release. Have fun waiting for working engine till the end of 2017

>>58775531

hows ff in the process of death?

they just got a bunch of donations and theyre focusing on new standards like lets encrypt because google doesnt like to keep up with certificates.

also about:config alone is supperior then anything chrome has to offer

plus there is plenty of gnu gpl licensed addons.

they have been kicking flash out with html5 and have started rust too

>>58775560
>plus there is plenty of gnu gpl licensed addons.
Which will all die with firefox 57

>>58775555

forcibly.

if firefox didnt exist chrome would still be using flash and google would of switched youtube to html5
and youd have year old certs for websites that are "secure" by googles standards

you need us!

>>58775577

(citation needed)

>>58775579
iOS killed flash, not firefox. Stop being delusional.

>>58775597

they tried in like 09-10

how many years did it prevail?

adobe is actually picking it back up under another name!

>>58775560
>hows ff in the process of death?
Look up Firefox 57.

>>58775597

and that still doesnt deny my earlier statement

firefox not only cares about its users but the standards of the internet as a whole!

google only cares about their best interests and using their own infrastructure

>>58775628
care to elaborate?

>>58775607
It only survived on shit proprietary sites as a form of DRM media playback (same as silvershit did). Flash sites vanished from Internet very quickly with advent of mobile. Stiv Job is to be thanked for death of flash

>>58775630
You forget about firefox being literally adware now with new tab page and it being heavily tied to google for most of it history due to sponsorship deals.

>>58775642
FF57 will drop XUL addons in favor of chrome style addons

>>58775657

new tab adware?

you can entirely remove the new tab backround bro...

thats the point of firefox is customization!

and "chrome styled" doesnt entail their license they publish under...

thats up to the person who creates the addon.

>>58775657

and if you want to talk about dependancies on google..

chromium is under far greater leverage then firefox

>>58775657

i wouldnt call netflix a shitty site.

they had silverlight or flash up until early last year i think

>>58775702
Never did I implied that it is not. I'm not pro chromium, I'm against people being delusional about firefox.

>>58775722
well i appologize for assuming you were

youd say im delushional?

im just tired of seeing threads about how firefox is dead and everyone shilling for chromium

when in reality they both need eachother and at the moment firefox has been more giving to the linux community
and not always fighting against us

>>58775719
>Forces you to use proprietary software
>Sucks Hollywood dick
>Actively prevents people from buying content based on their place of origin
Netflix is great.

>>58775748

i was implying in a revenue sense..

the fact is they drove paid streaming and are actively in competition with traditional cable

im just saying they arent some ancient shitty site that no one uses.

>>58775560
>hows ff in the process of death?
Focusing on stupid SJW things instead of actually improving their browser.

>they just got a bunch of donations
So? They have $100M+ yet Firefox is complete shit.

>also about:config alone is supperior then anything chrome has to offer
Barely anyone uses it, and what does it offer that Chrome does not?

>they have been kicking flash out with html5 and have started rust too
Rust is a meme language and HTML5 is a web standard by W3C so it has nothing with Mozilla to do.

i use firefox but this is really useless. they have issues they should attend to instead useless shit like this.

>>58775779

about:config

gives you complete control!

it doesnt matter if only a few use it you can literally do anything.

thats what all the addons do they just change about:config settings

the search bar honestly makes it too easy


when i use chromium i feel like im restricted to what google wants me to do and i dont have those options

i can change every bit of my UI

>>58775833

its really great for tinkering and optimizing

if you for example have a LFS id suggest to mess with about:config for a couple weeks

you could even make your own fork like icecat or iceweasel

>what does it offer that Chrome does not?

neo /g/ in the wild

Is it really not possible to whitelist JS without a dumb add-on?

ahh, my lenovo speakers or 7$ sony earbuds will profit from this!

now i remembered i don't listen to music bc i'm not in high school.

as already stated before its not about sound quality its about having lossless bits

(copy cd to usb in 90s and listen to it now)

itll have degraded

these algorithms preserve the bytes and prevent loss of data

this can be packaged with a video codec into a package like mp4 for example

this will go along way for a new standard and will increase survivability and archival of future sound

(imagine historical moments like jfks inaguration)

we need to preserve the sound for long term storage

the next step is a lossless video codec to surface

theres currectly some competition in that department

people also need to stop using jpg for example for static images

>>58774655
Why would I want to play audio files in my browser?

>>58775779

>Better quality audio
Implying out can actually hear a difference between MP3 v0 and lossless FLAC

Audiophool detected. Post an ABX test or GTFO. They are sonically indistinguishable

Chrome already plays flac, dumb freetard

>>58774655
Is there a decent html audio player (for local music)?

>>58776950
Not the anon you replied to.

I have found several songs where I can reliably distinguish between 320 CBR mp3 and flac by listening to specific parts several times.
They are practically identical for casual listening but saying that they are indistinguishable is simply wrong.

>>58774655
Huh? I've been playing FLACs in firefox forever.

Shilling an open source product that has gone to shit should be illegal in every way

>>58777411
In firefox stable? if so that's impressive.

>>58776302
Yea, I'm just gonna continue with my 128kbit mp3 and 70% jpg.

But you have fun.

Why don't they just use an external library for media playback?
It would reduce bloat by putting video playback in its own libaries, but would allow you to play anything.

I wish KDE was still a thing.

>>58774655
I opened your link to check if Chrome actually can't play it and it completely froze it and bumped the RAM usage to ~6GB.

Is there an extension that I could use to use Firefox as a local media player?

>>58777395
Not the anon you replied to.

Post an ABX test or GTFO.

Also, instead of doing it with MP3 V0, use OPUS @128k

>>58781860
Seems that support hasn't rolled out to the lincucks yet, I'm on Version 57.0.2987.21 beta and it just wants to download the file.

>>58786483
Download the file and drag it into the tab bar.

>>58782709
>Chrome using less than 1TB of RAM

Are you a wizard?

>>58786496
That might as well not even support it at that point. I want to be able to click the link and it play in the browser similar to how an mp3 or webm do.

>>58786240
File associations. Or you can browse with file:///

>>58778512
People also fail to realize that some of us want the lossless copy to have an archivable copy, and also one that can be used to transcode to MP3 or what have.

I figure those bitching about it probably reencode v0's to 320 for "muh quality"

That's the only reason to actually use FLAC, which means there's no point in having support for it on a browser. If you're streaming music over the internet you might as well just use OPUS @~96k and call it a day.

>>58787779
It might be nice for Web Audio recording for online synths, etc. And handy for browsing dropboxes and the like.

Fuck off google shill

>>58774655
I care more about Chrome's socket limit of 6 per server than I do about playing FLAC in a browser.

>>58776950
Your post is obvious bait, but I'll bite anyway.

I can hear the difference on many, many tracks.
However, I am using thousands of dollars worth of audio gear. Vintage 1976 Klipsch LaScala's and a Rotel RA1412 Class A amplifier for the mains, for example.
The difference in the treble is similar to comparing FM radio to a CD. The treble from the MP3's is "watery" in comparison... It sounds like the treble is being rolled around in a vortex. The problem is compounded even worse when the source material is originally from tape that was recorded with Dolby Noise Reduction on, to be played with Dolby NR off for clearer treble response and there is tape hiss in the resulting output. A v0 MP3 created from such a source will make the tape hiss sound like paper being rubbed, whereas the FLAC will faithfully reproduce the faint hiss of the source.

Even without such an extreme setup as mine, the same effect can be heard with a relatively cheap pair of Sennheiser headphones and an Android phone, thanks to their 32-bit audio and Class A circuitry on the analog audio out.

And although the treble is the clearest example of it, it does impact on midrange as well. If you listen to anything with a decent brass section in it and you have a GOOD setup, you will be able to hear the difference.

>>58774655
I'm a FF fag and I don't need or want this.

>>58790780
So download the source and compile it without FLAC support.

>>58790342
>Which autists listen .mp3 files through browser, matter of fact, which autists does even listen to .mp3 files.

>>58790923
I use FLACs I rip myself for archival like any sane person should do.

I don't go around on the internet lying about having super hearing. Or even worst, actually believing those lies because muh placebo and muh meme gear.
Lies that, in fact, could easily be proven or disproven scientifically by doing an ABX test using whatever meme gear and shit music you want.

>>58790929
>Feels like there are more details in some parts of the song, especially the autotune part
That's because there are. Some program material is not very complex, so it sometimes doesn't matter. But as the complexity goes up, the differences get more and more noticable.
The differences on that track are in the treble, backing vocals and to an extent on Moonman's vocal.
