They aren't taking away control. Read their own post
- rampant_ai 3y agoIf I install a ceiling fan for someone with multiple speeds, forward/reverse, and a dimmable light but I take the remote with me and leave just a basic on/off switch that's still taking away control. Give me full control of all features or I go elsewhere.
- nerdbert 3y agoIf you install a fancy ceiling fan for someone and the remote is on backorder, and you're going to bring it to them next week, I don't think you've done them any major disservice. That's what's happening here. A feature for which the UX is still in development, and until then, interested users can manage it via the about:config page.
- deely3 3y agoThey started disabling extensions installed by user on some websites without clear explanation why and when it will happen and intentionally hided settings to disable this functionality. Should I read their own post again? Why not ask user first? "Do you want to disable add-on not monitored by Mozilla on this specific site?". Also, how many times users asks about this functionality? "I want Mozilla to monitor add-ons installed on my browser and disable it on some websites, when Mozilly want it" - surelly most of the users wants this.
- woofcat 3y agoPlease do read it again. They've not disabled any extension on any website. They've added a option for that to potentially do that.
- deely3 3y agoSorry, but they really remotely can (and will) disable any "not approved" extension on any website that they want. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1832791 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1832791 Upd: > We need to have ability to set the list of quarantined domains remotely.
- djur 3y agoThe disagreement was not over the capability but with your claim that it's already being used ("They started disabling extensions...").
