All snark aside, Firefox is probably the last browser you should use if you care about extensions (or other functionality) not being broken on purpose or arbitrarily removed with no notice, recourse, or opportunity for feedback.
Firefox has done this to me multiple times. As someone who uses a web browser as a tool for both business and pleasure, and as someone who does not appreciate flag days forced on me for no good reason, I am perfectly happy and have been encountered far fewer surprises with a chromium fork.
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoThing is, Firefox doesn't break extensions with malice. I'll take a hundred "oops, our update broke some extensions", or, more fairly, "we broke a lot of extensions to provide orders-of-magnitude better performance", over a single instance of "Fuck your AdBlocker, it's cutting into our profit margins". That latter category of breakage, which Firefox has never done, and has no motive to, is the reason I will never use the shameless antitrust-case-in-waiting Chrome, or any of it's pseudo-independent offspring.
- Karunamon 3y agoSufficiently advanced indifference is indistinguishable from malice.
- lholden 3y agoDo you have an example of an addon this has happened to you for? I've had the opposite experience (stuff breaking on Chrome and well, never had an issue with it on Firefox).
