I knew this was the goal.
The real future of Firefox is an ad delivery platform. This has been the reason for the removal of user control, the advent of signed extensions, and all the other invidious actions along the way.
Told you so.

Blockhead
I’ve got so much blocked on YouTube that when I go there, all I see is the video, a search box and logo. No comments, text, nothing.
OH HELL YEAH
I want that so badly that my hand was reaching for my credit card and I had to grab it with my other hand to stop it.
Right now, I have nothing to run it on and it won’t work with my 5K iMac but that glorious creation would be so beautiful that it’s almost worth all the money it’d take to make it work. Alas, I’d have to use Windows 10 which is just about the only reason I am not really considering it. At least one hand is not. The other hand is still trying for that credit card.
Luckily, 8K is the highest resolution even my very-picky eyes can discern so that is all I’d need.
I wish 4K adoption had not been so slow. People have no taste, and can accept browsing on a smartphone rather than actually using something that looks attractive and works decently.
Ah, 8K, one day you will be mine.
Mobile
About half the visitors to this site visit from a smartphone.
You people are killing the internet and are a large reason it’s gotten so much worse over the years.
Fuck, I love having a site where I can insult my readers and not give a crap.
That’s one of the many things that the corporatized and sanitized internet will not really allow any longer; this last bastion of freedom is slowly dying but while it still stands, I will insult and belittle whomsoever I please.

Fuck Mozilla and fuck the Firefox developers.
Open Halt
The “open borders” of the moronic left and the dreams of completely restricting immigration of the racist right are equally vapidly thoughtless and stupid ideas.
The Fight
I like MarsEdit because it doesn’t attempt — like Firefox — to prevent me from doing what I want to do and need to do.
Its defaults are sensible. Its interface is customizable. And instead of fighting to control me — also like Firefox — it allows me to control its actions.
Is it perfect? No. But it is the antithesis of the ethos of software like Firefox and Chrome, and therefore that makes it pretty great.
Say It Loud
Fuck Mozilla and fuck the Firefox developers.
Bam
And Obama was the Firefox of presidents.
Sometimes-ly
Fuck Mozilla and fuck the Firefox developers.
SK
Sarah Kendzior is the Firefox of humans.
Duce
Reductionism as a scientific paradigm, while not wholly worthless, is largely a mistake.
That’s a bit reductive, yes, but still true.
Influence is Minor
I have influenced two companies to not use Firefox now. Not that many users in total, but thanks to me, two companies discarded Firefox and went with Chrome. Not much in the grand scheme of things, but it’s a start.
Doing all I can every day to fuck Mozilla up. Fuck them all.
TabMix Plus
The extension that I most cannot live without is TabMix Plus. That is no-negotiable. I will not use a browser that doesn’t have it. Its chintzy WebExtensions worthless variant is no replacement. It has 1/20 the features and cannot have more due to Mozilla’s fucking assclown-level idiocy. I depend on so many of its features and capabilities that it’s nearly impossible for me to use a browser for more than a few minutes without it.
When Mozilla fails, I plan to go to their fucking HQ and piss on their front door. You think I am kidding. I am not.
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
FUCK YOU ALL
Hello, Mozilla, these are all things I used to be able to do before you completely broke your fucking browser.
Fuck you all.
