I cheat on Vivaldi with Firefox 😇

[npro]

So let's remember what they were saying...

In the absence of a true standard for browser extensions, maintaining compatibility with Chrome is important for Firefox developers and users. Firefox is not, however, obligated to implement every part of v3, and our WebExtensions API already departs in several areas under v2 where we think it makes sense.

Content blocking: We have no immediate plans to remove blocking webRequest and are working with add-on developers to gain a better understanding of how they use the APIs in question to help determine how to best support them.

or in other words:

"We love need to be compatible with Chrome so that we don't die..."

"No immediate plans"in September 2019...

I enjoyed having read the comments once again

For those that use Firefox as a second browser I recommend this patch and JS scripts:

https://github.com/Izheil/Quantum-Nox-Firefox-Dark-Full-Theme/tree/master/Multirow and other functions/Multirow tabs

Options:

1.- MultiRowTabLiteforFx.uc.js

Shows all tabs you currently have open splitting them on rows, without any limit to the amount of rows to show. Choose this option if you want to always see all the tabs you have open without limits to the number of rows.

2.- MultiRowTab-scrollable.uc.js

Shows all tabs you currently have open splitting them on rows up to a max of 3 rows by default (can be changed using the variable inside the file). After the max number of rows has been reached, a scrollbar will be shown to be able to scroll around the extra tabs.

3.- MultiRowTab-scrollable-autohide.uc.js

This version is the same as scrollable multirow, except the scrollbars are only shown when you hover over the tabs area.

4.- Focus-tab-on-hover.uc.js

5.- Navigator-toolbox-hide-by-keypress.uc.js

6.- Navigator-toolbox-autohide.uc.js

7.- Tabs-on-bottom.uc.js

8.- Mac-fullscreen-fix-toolbox-autohide.uc.js

@gwen-dragon , this photo caused infinite memes, for example with the slogan of a tampon, 'Hello, I'm your period'

@guigirl , the first thing when I enter Mozilla.org is to block a tracker which they want to copy in my poor HD. Not a choice for me.
Worse, a tracker from Alphabet Inc

Enjoy FF

i've managed to find that perfect sweet spot between security & efficacy.

What is that?

The new efficient and secure method to navigate through tabs in the pdf file!?

Introducing Firefox’s new Site Isolation Security Architecture

[Catweazle]

@stardust , oh, they invented the Sandbox, interesting.

[Stardust]

@catweazle It should be implemented many years ago.

They also have Multi-Account Containers as official extension. I wonder why that's not a built-in feature

How is it different than the chromium sandbox?

[code3]

@guigirl So they are this far behind chromium??

Looks like they are. Not surprising, because they were very busy by removing useful features instead

Later, when possible, if i don't forget, i'll look up my older notes to find the reference & post back here.

If you were using Vivaldi you could use the Notes feature for not to forget

@stardust , I think that Blink is becoming a standard in the web, and sooner or later everyone will have to go through the hoop, Microsoft has already done it with EDGE, Apple will not have any other choice but to do without its old WebKit and Gecko Mozilla is also reaching the end of its power.
Aside from some with an exotic experimental engine and for lack of viable new engines, within a few years they will all be Chromium or dead.
