It does actually play into performance, too. The new multiprocess architecture requires that extensions get updated to be compatible with it. It is possible to achieve that in the old extension API, but every single extension author would h

Well, it's not. It's now also heavily competing for fastest browser and will continue to be the most extensible browser, even if it is sacrificing things there.

It is up to Google to do that. And it's up to the people to complain, strike and whatnot about it and to leave the platform, if the problem becomes unbearable. This is a perfectly normal dynamic that exists any time anyone is being pai

Adverts by definition try to sell you things that are not relevant to your needs. They'd be pretty bad adverts, if they tried to sell you things that you do need and therefore will buy anyways.

In case you're not aware, on Android there's also F-Droid, an app store with only open-source apps, maintained by a non-profit organization. At least when I'm looking for open-source apps on Android, that's where I start

As a browser vendor, yes, you have to try to not piss off advertisers, because if website owners don't make money off of your browser, they're not going to test against it much, but why would you list that reason specifically for

And that fact would have any relevance at all, if there was a viable, free alternative to iOS and Android. For what is the Status Quo in the mobile market, Apple is doing well. Even Custom Android ROMs have inherent design flaws, because it

Yeah, I often wonder how what Google is doing can really be so much better that it justifies leaking billions of users' information all over the place and the massive infrastructure costs that they must have.

I didn't even realize until now that Google has this and DuckDuckGo doesn't. So, that's a No for me, I guess. Others here are saying that they need this for researching programming-related things. I just add the version numbe

It's because they get results from so many different sources. Many of those sources just don't keep time records or don't offer it through the API that DuckDuckGo interacts with.

Is that really so much different than just sticking a button there and then if you don't want it, you remove that button? If they make it opt-in like you suggest, then a good number of casual users will not understand, because they can

It's not better, it's different. They cover different use-cases. Container Tabs function like a single-user experience that only looks towards the internet like multiple users, so things like browsing history, bookmarks and add-on

Chrome/Safari/Opera all use the WebKit/Blink font renderer, so yeah, those will look similar. Firefox relies on your OS' font renderer, so maybe try to tweak the settings there.

Firefox Profiles function like a multi-user experience whereas Container Tabs function like a single-user experience that only looks like multiple users towards the internet. So, for example browsing history, bookmarks and add-ons are not s

by 482794793792894 9y ago
Generally speaking, Container Tabs try to make you look towards the internet like several users while on your end it behaves like a single-user experience. So, things like history, bookmarks and add-ons are not separated by Container Tabs.
110.
by 482794793792894 9y ago
Well, the vast majority of users have no idea of the -no-remote or -new-instance flags, let alone of Firefox profiles.

It breaks some webpages to do that and Mozilla unfortunately can't always just put user privacy above all else, because then webpage owners have little incentive to test their webpage in Firefox, as they'll make less money if they

Bookmarks and browsing history are not separated by Container Tabs. So, it will sync both personal and work bookmarks, just like it would without Container Tabs. The idea being that you look towards the internet like several users, but on y

So, this extension quality problem isn't new. Firefox's current extension API is really powerful, but really complicated and it's not really an API, it's more-so just a way to fuck around with Firefox's source code,

by 482794793792894 9y ago
Well, that's just the two different use-cases. Container Tabs are not trying to replace profiles.
116.
by 482794793792894 9y ago
You can. As the other commenter wrote `firefox -no-remote -P` works. You can also add the name of a profile after the "-P" to launch directly into that profile. If you're not on Windows, you can also instead use `firefox -new

Firefox does also have those completely separate profiles. Container Tabs are a new thing on top of that.

This difference has been eliminated for so long, I really don't think it can be taken as reason to say that GNOME represents more freedom. To me, KDE represents more freedom, because on the secondary level, that is customizability, ope

That it doesn't need to make an impact. It'll be a hobbyists' project like desktop Linux that people will continue to push forward for its own sake.
