I think I have a PTSD and I get scared of Firefox announcements. I feel like it is a Russian Roulette of speed improvements or random removal of features.
This looks very positive but I don't understand it, I have the extensions installed on my mobile since ages. So I look at the text and it says that it is based on recommended extensions. Recommended on what criteria I always wondered ? Business or security friendly? Or user friendly? How come uBlock is not recommended? That means that "recommended extensions" is not only a label for user assistance but also part of Firefox strategic decision making, oh my.
Is it a ploy to finally embed them to the severely limited IPhone experience as preexisting features rather as extensions, a long con to bypass Apple restrictions through initial Android introduction?
As I said I don't see what will change for me, I have already installed them for years. And they will stay installed until they become unavailable due to one strategic decision or another.
- jml7c5 6y agoThis is for Firefox Preview (preview as in "for testing"), a rewrite of Firefox for Android. It will eventually be renamed to Firefox for Android.
- antman 6y agoYes it is clear that it will replace Firefox for Android, and as I said my main hope is that it will do so without deprecating parts of current functionality (especially regarding extensions) as it happened with previous main updates.
