- bsdubernerd 6y agoI still use FF on a desktop, but on Android is not Firefox for me. It's just as dumb (if not dumber) than chrome, and serves no purpose whatsoever without addons. I also don't get the point of limiting addons to a vetted whitelist. I feared this would be the case since they introduced signing requirements, and that's precisely what happened. I waited a bit, but I completely lost interest since the new mobile redesign which also destroyed the UI usability for me. Mozilla will need to do a complete turn-around to get me back on mobile.
- tristan957 6y agoA browser with 10 add-ons is as dumb (if not dumber) than a browser with no add-ons. A browser backed by a company committed to open-source and privacy is as dumb (if not dumber) than a browser backed by an ad company. Dear god stop over-reacting. Open source communities are so toxic. Can't believe you actually typed these words into existence.
- bsdubernerd 6y agoI wouldn't complain if work from the community (which is just as important as the browser itself) wasn't artificially restricted. As a previous extension developer, an avid extension user, and also OSS contributor, it strikes against all my values. I'm fully supportive of Mozilla for their work, a doubly so for being the main alternative to Chrome, however Android always felt as a double-standard to me. FF on Android is not (and was really never) on the same page as the desktop version, and I don't understand why it can't. I'm complaing because the reason why I love FF on desktop is the reason why I find it unusable on Android.
