I currently use Fennec on mobile, but it's just sad how they're adding stupid bulls*t (pocket, collections) and removing useful features. The bloody thing can't save a webpage as PDF anymore

Free as in freedom software produces even more entitled users, since we are entitled to fork the project and do it differently.

I certainly don't use it since it's gone, I have to save pdf on desktop and then rsync it to the phone.

Now Mozilla, bloody Firefox for Android cannot save the page anymore - not as MHTML, not as PDF. How can such a basic function just disappear?

This one is from Croatia, I can't trust any airquoted credible cases from western media on China, I've seen no evidence thus far and too much of this: https://i.redd.it/4ugpt0499ri61.jpg

I found out it's pretty much not so dramatic when I left FB and WA in 2017. The people I communicate with have mostly accepted also having Signal.

The first I do on a new Ubuntu install is apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop instead of gnome and choose lightdm instead of gdm.

No ublock origin? Good luck with that, mozilla.

"Enjoy" might be a bit heavy, they're basically forced into a cow dystopia.

Anecdotally, a bubble sounds right, since I know I never see an ad anywhere. Firefox + ublock on both computer and mobile, never even consider a smartphone app if it has ads. So how can it be effective?

Google+ was good privacy-wise.

That idea is what Google+ overcomplicated and underdelivered. And sadly, it's also what Friendfeed was before facebook bought and snuffed it.

Firefox would do well to remove Pocket integration and stop placing ads.

Because otherwise the value won't be there when everyone needs to redeem it desperately.

Neat idea, it used to be called friendfeed. Facebook bought it and shot it in the head.
