WebExtension Experiments (https://webextensions-experiments.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://webextensions-experiments.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) allow you to create your own APIs that are equivalently powerful. You're just restricted to Nightly and Developer Edition builds, since we can't simultaneously support that degree of customization and guarantee the safety, performance, and API stability that we need for the mainstream Firefox browser.
- syshum 9y agoI am well aware of the excuse used to sell the Chrome Clone version of Firefox. I have used Firefox since Version 1, I was beta testing Firefox back when mozilla suite was still the focus I never adopted chrome, and I do not like the User Experience or the limitation of Chrome. From EME/DRM, to Web Extensions, to who knows what else, Mozilla is killing the identiy of FF all in the name of chasing market share it will never get back. FF should be focusing on privacy, stability, and the ability to customize the browser for you. Instead they are focusing on Mainstream placation, performance, DRM, etc Mozilla has made it clear they no longer want people like me as users, that is fine after over a decade of support I will see myself out...
- kuschku 9y agoSo I could replace the history search backend, add tab thumbnails and colorized tabs, and add finally working HiDPI support for Firefox on Linux/X11 by parsing QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS with that? As long as I can still do that, it should be acceptable. Ideally this would be in the main version, though.
