Would have not gotten the backlash it's getting if the author was a bit modest and titled the repo:
"How to get rid of FireFox features you don't need", or something like that.
Security is an important issue, but as someone who thinks WebRTC is the only missing piece of the puzzle that could help bring true decentralization to the Web, I think bashing on WebRTC just because of its security issue is short sighted. (Not to mention a couple other features mentioned on there)
But if you're so paranoid about security that you're going to disable WebSockets, I think web browser is not the only thing you need to worry about. There are ton more attack vectors and hackers can hack in no matter how you get rid of these "FireFox bullshit" to increase security. After all, most hacking nowadays is based on social engineering.
One thing I agree though is "Pocket Integration" IS a bullshit.

- balladeer 9y ago> "Pocket Integration" IS a bullshit And it is still around. It has still not been made into a removable AND turned off by default component which is the least Firefox should have done if at all they can't live without shipping Firefox with it.
- craftyguy 9y ago> I think bashing on WebRTC just because of its security issue is short sighted. (Not to mention a couple other features mentioned on there) Well, the security concern is real. In other news, bashing on scammers because they scammed someone is short sighted?
