Chrome clone

Looks like by 2017, Firefox will be completely dead and fully unusable.

One of the features that made Firefox and won it so much geek cred in its early days was its rich extension model, allowing a wealth of customizations and extra functionality.

Now that’s all being taken away, and Firefox will just become another piece of Chrome-like spyware. Very sad, but inevitable.

After this transition to failure mode, not sure what I will do. Well, there are a lot of books I want to read that I’ll then be able to devote more time to.

It’s weird that no one can seem to make a decent browser. But the normals now rule the internet, and they just do not care who is stealing their data or how crappy their experience is.

If they can click on YouTube and drool, they are ok.

By the way, this means that Classic Theme Restorer, NoScript, the current method of ad-blocking pre-load, and other extensions that require low-level access will no longer work. Sans CTR, that means it’s Australis or nothing.

And you know what, FUCK THAT. I will never use a browser that looks and works like that utter piece of crap that is Australis. Or Chrome, for that matter. I like my data to stay my data, thanks.
