Mozilla continues to destroy Firefox.
While on the surface this sounds like a good idea, itโs all about control. Itโs not about protecting the users and it certainly wonโt help me.
About 25% of the extensions I use are not on the AMO site and never will be.
One of the benefits of Firefox was its openness, how anyone can and did do anything with it. Yes, this sometimes includes bad actors but thatโs the way open systems work.
I think when this finally becomes a reality it will be time to tell Firefox and all its variations goodbye. Itโs been a good 10 years or so, but they have lost the plot and arenโt worthy of support any longer.
Iโm not sure which browser I will switch to. Perhaps Chromium or some variant thereof.
While I think Chrome and its variants are pretty evil, itโs evil I can control and deal with. Itโs predicable evil, in other words.
Firefox is just stupid, and wilfully stupid to me is worse and less comprehensible than evil because you can never be sure what misguided dumbass thing they will do next โfor your own good.โ
If Mozilla were a person, itโd be a 9/11 truther anti-vaxxer.
