Next May will mark the 10th Anniversary of my Firefox blog. Of course back then it was Internet Explorer 6 or a handfull of third party browsers which were still based off the IE Trident rendering engine. A big reason I still use Firefox is I have a couple Greasemonkey scripts I use on an older discussion board site that never worked correctly with Google Chrome's Tampermonkey.FF Extension Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582647004716743827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-17231787439100266822015-05-30T16:07:34.562-05:002015-05-30T16:07:34.562-05:00@ FF Guru - Good to know it's not just me.
W...@ FF Guru - Good to know it's not just me. <br /><br />When I start to be critical I feel guilty since I've been using Firefox for so long. <br /><br />When Vivaldi is developed enough to stably support Add-on/Extensions from the Chrome store I'm going to have to make some hard decisions if I keep using Firefox as my primary "working/production" browser or if I will depreciate it behind Vivaldi/Chromium & Internet Explorer 11.<br /><br />I thought I would never see the day that I said that.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />--CVClaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692921474310162470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-92020286808693035142015-05-26T11:05:10.859-05:002015-05-26T11:05:10.859-05:00"It is just me or does it seem that there are..."It is just me or does it seem that there are more and more tweaks needed to remove/disable “features” being added to Firefox. I remember the good-old-days when Mozilla Firefox was the browser to go to for a lean-mean no-bloatware featured product. That’s what the “add-on/extension” platform was so exciting. If you wanted to add features, you decided what you wanted and added it! No more it seems."<br /><br />No, it is not just you. It is getting to the point where the majority of requests (especially from family) I am getting are for disabling 'features' that Mozilla seems to <i>think</i> that users want to have. It is getting more bloated and still nowhere as stable as Chrome.FF Extension Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582647004716743827noreply@blogger.com
