removing xul is a good decision. it will allow them to have better performance, security, and they wont have to worry about breaking extensions uring updates.

>>62371708

Why does this freedom loving Browser not give you the option to remove that crap completely and forever?
Chrome and Vivaldi don't come bundled with such bloatware.

>>62371797
vivaldi and chrome violate your privacy more than firefox. you can never fully disable data collection with vivaldi or chrome either. at least it is possible in firefox. I havent had any problems when updating firefox either. until it happens than I will bitch about it

Like the third time this has been mentioned in this thread. I'm calling bullshit. Show us this Chrome(ium) code in Firefox or you're a lying faggot trying to spread FUD.

>>62372016
They are using the same pdf implementaion as chrome. Not the code that collects user data and impossible to disable.

>>62371884
Turning data collection off on Vivaldi must mean it's secretely continuing to collect data... You know that you could check the vivaldi source code to prove your claim. Otherwise there is no point in continuing sice firecucks believe what they want.

>>62372058
So you're telling that this
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/
is the same implementation that's used in Chromium, and the Chromium team wrote it and not Mozilla? Is this what you're trying to say?

Search Bar is an IT diarrhea that became popular because of Firefox and then it landed everywhere, including fucking File Explorer in Windows.

You have no way of predicting whether it will or not, and you don't care either way. In your mind, it's already a done deal because you need your weekly "ITZ HABBENING LE BOTNET" fix. Besides, do you really give a fuck if Mozilla decides that Chromium's PDFium is better than PDF.js and makes the switch? Oh no, a new (and arguably better) PDF reader has been patched into Firefox. Truly is this the work of CIA Niggers, and the entire project has been compromised by government surveillance botnet code. Buy a tent and head for the woods.

Daily reminder that google pays people to infiltrate mozilla and turn firefox into a similar but slightly worse version of google chrome thereby eliminating anyone's desire to use anything but their own browser.

that's just the modifications they made to chromium. the main part of vivaldi will and has always been closed source.

>>62372460
So what you're saying is that the browser can't be built from the source provided on the page I linked?

>>62372479
dunno, i'd assume so. basically they're required to open source their changes to the chromium stuff (BSD license), but not the stuff they build on top of chromium (which is what makes vivaldi vivaldi, mostly).

The BSD license doesn't require that, but Chromium still has some LGPLed code from WebKit/KHTML

I'm running Nightly and just updated.
1. Search bar is still there. Even if they remove it by default you can enable it. So this is a non-issue.
2. Removing legacy addons wasn't a bad move when you get a much better performance. All Chrome addons are available on Firefox.
3. Pocket does NOT reinstall every version update. I just checked, it's still set to "enabled = false". It's not made by Microshit, it will remember your settings after updates.
4. Telemetry is a non-issue and can be disabled.
5. It feels as fast as chrome and you can't tell a difference between the two.

So, everything you just said is bullshit.
>not better than any browser
You can't name a better browser. It's customizable, fast and respects the end user. Anything based on chromium is shittier and does not. So if anything it's an improved version of Chrome, not a Chrome-clone.

No it won't. Do you understand how any of this even works? I don't appreciate pocket, nor Firefox's telemetry, but, at the very least, I can appreciate that configurations you make to the about:config persist for every version. I've had my configurations since 2012, and, with the exception of minor changes to be applicable to new versions, my user.js has remained unmolested for half a decade, now. And that's why, while I don't respect Mozilla, I trust their software. And fuck you for spewing bullshit out your ass when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
