It just doesn't download the ad at all. You can specifically tell it to try to download the ad, but just don't do that and you get ad-free, no matter if you have YouTube Red or not.

AFAIK you only need opt-in for personally identifiable data. Firefox would also definitely not be the first piece of software to run in Germany that has opt-out instead of opt-in. Most software does it that way and usually much sneakier tha

The problem with that - and also the reason why for example Mozilla is for the most part not doing that either - is that it takes away pretty much all incentive for webpage developers to support your browser.

It did have a comparatively low number of security vulnerabilities in 2015. I also often see it brought up that Fedora uses SELinux by default.

It's still not clear to me whether you actually tried to work with the Mozilla devs or if this is still fueled from your initial (in my opinion rather rushed) statement and some form of false pride. But yeah, I'd just like to say

No, what this check means is that the recently introduced multiprocess-features of Firefox won't be blocked by Tab Mix Plus. You'll get much better performance, if you have no extensions which block that. The guy seems to be confu

If you have significant lock-ups once an hour, you should troubleshoot. Probably one of your add-ons causing the issue. Your RAM usage might very well go down with that as well, and if you disable a few of your add-ons during troubleshootin

Might be a bad example, as Mozilla is promoting uBlock Origin right on the first page in the Add-ons section. It takes just three clicks to go from a newly installed Firefox to having uBlock Origin installed. Then again, though, they only j

It's a nice side-effect to be compatible with Chrome-extensions, so that even if Chrome continues eating up the browser marketshare that there will still be extensions available on Firefox, but the main-motivation was simply that Firef

That's the exact point, though, Google does not get your browsing data. What Firefox does, is that it downloads a complete list of hashes from Google's Safebrowsing server. Every instance of Firefox does this every 30 minutes. Not

Well, in case you managed to ignore the news in 2013 (a lot of people did), it uses Chrome's Blink-engine now, instead of the Presto-engine which they previously developed. So, it's very much identical to Chrome for the most part.

Options are a possibility, you know. You don't need to give up the way you do things, just because someone else wants to do things in a different way. No need to get all defensive about it.

Firefox is the second best browser on OSX in terms of battery efficiency (at least from what I've gathered from benchmarks) and has good developer tools, too, so you might be able to compromise with that.

To be fair, in comparison to most other DEs, it is still rather heavyweight. Definitely more heavyweight than LXDE and Xfce, and Unity is pretty well-optimised at this point, too. But yeah, for what KDE is capable off, especially in compari
