I have all my bookmarks from 10 years stored in firefox. It would be too much work to switch browsers

Firefox needs to be patched to use kdialog? LMFAO! Chrom{e,ium} detect and use kdialog out of the box!

I guess Firefox force gtkdialog incase any thumbnails are not female/homo/trans friendly and trigger the user in to an emotional breakdown and yet another stay at the loony bin.

>>60722408
Must be around 5 years ago. I got tired of the"smooth scroll". And the startup time. Chrome starts superfast if you have "run extension in background" enabled and Firefox took like 5 seconds to startup. A total turn-off.

Giving in to the Google eco system is surprisingly covfefe.

Since it started leaking memory out the ass and becoming unusable after more than 30 seconds of having it open with any more than 2 tabs.

>>60722871
Do you really think Google will allow something like that on the Chrome Web store?

Also, why don't you use youtube-dl? Are you retarded?

>The company told CNBC that it will allow publishers to participate in a new program called Funding Choices. Under the program, when a user with a third-party ad blocker enabled visits a participating site using Chrome, they will see a prompt that asks them to either turn off their ad blocker, or "pay for a pass that removes all ads on that site through the new Google Contributor." If they choose to pay the fee, Google will take a 10 percent cut. If they select neither choice, they won't be able to view the website.

youre putting all your eggs in one basket and depending on google

alright quit exaggerating

Just wait until google introduces that adblocker inbuilt that you pay for and removes adblockers from their extensions.

>>60728483
They're both SJW now, that's the sad reality. And FF is turning into a Chrome copycat with a speed of light.

>>60728609

firefox is 14 years old idiot
if theres any resemblance its clearly the other way around

>>60728595
Just wait until Mozilla deprecates XUL for addons and it would be effectively the same as in Chrome.

>doesn't realize "Webextensions" are a copy of the Chrome extension API

>>60722618
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

>>60728663
the reason is to remove the limitations and to make it easier to create addons/ext

removing os XUL will decrease vulnerability surface and also increase preformance

its been redesigned from the ground up for modern practices instead of trying to bend something that is limited

lastly it allows firefox to audit the addons to prevent malware based on the new protocol

all of the people who maintain addons are already ready for the transition that they had 4 years to prepare for

legacy addons wont work that arent maintained and thats for good reason because people like you will blame mozilla when you get malware for using a outdated plugin that isnt verified by them in a legacy standard

>>60728705
That's the fucking point, you goddamned retard.

>>60728678
it was a standard proposed and agreed upon that they both implemented in the same week

80% of the stuff chrome does was copied by firefox its almost twice the age of it

>>60728725
>I'm an idiot
Which makes Firefox the copycat, retard

>>60728705
>doesnt know what a protocol means

>>60728740
I never said otherwise, moron.

>>60728740
so youre telling me that chrome thats only 8 years old never copied firefox once?

it just magically got all its tech without following behind all the hard work firefox already paved the way for?

pretty sure chrome has borrowed alot more than firefox who did it all first

literally years worth

>>60728755
>doesn't realize that Chrome APIs were already documented well enough and Webextensions isn't even compatible with the real API

>>60728788
so youre saying they arent copy cats?

>>60728837
>dumb things like "chrome" to "browser" >their dumb branding bullshit
>their branding

sounds to me like mozilla is taking away googles dumb branding and making it into a actual protocol that is portable to other browsers aside from firefox

>>60728719
That's what Jewzilla wants you to believe in. While in reality "easier to create" addons means that they would be the same crippled useless shit as in Chrome. Not to mention that extensions (which are different from addons) would be completely deprecated. Take it up your ass because of muh sekurity, faggot.
