It won't send telemetry data to Mozilla, but you can disable that from Options > Privacy & Security > Firefox Data Collection and Use in Firefox. It disables Pocket by default, but you can disable Pocket yourself in Firefox. Waterfox also has some other different features. Here are our concerns with some of the more popular Firefox alternatives. That's why we recommend against using these smaller Firefox-based browsers, and why we also recommend against using alternative browsers based on Google Chrome. We think it's best to go with a big project with a large number of developers that receives a lot of attention to security. But, after taking some deserved public heat, they've made policy changes and we're hopeful they'll do better in the future.Įven if you don't completely trust some of Mozilla's business decisions, your browser is just too important to be left to a small community of enthusiasts. Robot "Looking Glass" add-on was ridiculous, and we're not thrilled about what they're doing with Cliqz in Germany. Yes, Mozilla has done some things we're not crazy about. If you want to keep using your old add-ons that no longer work in Firefox Quantum, we recommend Mozilla's Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) instead.įirefox ESR is based on Firefox 52, supports traditional XUL Firefox add-ons and NPAPI plug-ins, and will continue receiving security updates directly from Mozilla until July 2, 2018. the extensions have been a crucial part of Firefox's advantage, for many.We like Firefox Quantum, which is faster and more modern than previous releases of Firefox.

Wading into a bunch of other people's code of varying quality. Yeah, this may be an unreasonable and ugly ask. Reading in this conversation how Mozilla is working to expand the new API, I'm given a bit of hope. Yes, I've been pissed about this change, for precisely this reason. How about helping them make the transition? (Also a good opportunity to learn where the new API may need more work/expansion) In other words, Mozilla, please don't kill our extensions. I think a lot of Firefox users would appreciate this, and it would help preserve a principal feature set (via those extensions) that has caused many people to choose Firefox and to stick with it, up to this point.

What if Firefox developers were to take a break - meaning, temporarily slow down - from the browser development itself, once 57 is stable - and put some time into helping to port some of those extensions? (At least, where code and license allow.) It seems a lot of very significant extensions, important to large user bases, are going to have trouble making it to 57. I have a feeling that plugins that may need frequent updates will just rot away. If vimium is the usual "vi mode is not vim" then vimperator is the closest to vim you get in the browser.Īnother issue with palemoon and the webextension stuff is that i'm wondering how long the xul part of the plugins is going to keep being updated. On top of that it has a configurable commandbar which allows you to use fuzzy logic with history/bookmarks/awesomebar stuff(more importantly you can choose which things it should search) move forward in backward in slides on slideshare. It also lets you bind commands and keys to bookmarklets and add mode keys to e.g. It allows you to script the entire ui in js.
Theres also an open issue on hiding the tabstrip īut I somewhat doubt that the real strength, which imho is the scriptability will come back.įor those that don't know you can do a lot more with vimperator/pentadactyl than just use vim navigation. Supposedly there was a chat today discussing keyboard extension apis Not all of the vimperator plugins work with pentadactyl (which is the officially supported thing), but it's decent.
