Re: uBlock Origin Maintainer on Chrome vs. Firefox WebExtensions
#272After being a Chrome user for several years, I've switched back to Firefox for the past two years or so and I'm really, really happy with it. Latest version does multi-processing, e10s is finally here (though it might still get disabled by usage of certain add-ons, I remember I had to force it to stay enabled). On performance, in the past it felt sluggish, but now Firefox is fast and for my usage patterns it uses les…
> Latest version does multi-processing, e10s is finally here (though it might still get disabled by usage of certain add-ons, I remember I had to force it to stay enabled).
Are multi-processing and e10s separate things?
How do you forcefully enable it? 5/7 of my addins are listed as Legacy so I am still in single process mode, I am dying to try multi-process!
EDIT: See here: https://www.ghacks.net/2016/07/22/multi-process-firefox/
EDIT 2: Doesn't seem to work, for me anyways. It appears to be enabled in about:config but I only see one process running in task manager.
EDIT 3: I lied, it does work, 8 processes running now.
ALSO: Does anyone know if tree-style tabs will be made compatible, or if there is something comparable that is?

#273I still think Chrome has some advantages. For example you can disable a lot of things like location services in the settings. In Firefox you can decline access to location once a site asks for it but I would rather disable it once and for all if I am setting up a machine for a less tech-savvy person. Also, firefox comes with tons of built in features you cannot disable. In past they have caused security issues (e.g.…
You can disable everything in Firefox. Have you ever browsed about:config?

#274I am considering going back to FF, but it seems FIDO U2F still isn't done completely and the U2F Extension for FF is not working anymore since the WebExtension switch. Please correct me if missed something, but i think i have to hold off for a little bit longer.
That is my understanding as well. I haven't been able to get my U2F working on recent Firefox builds. It's such a shame because I really want to use U2F instead of an authenticator app. I have like 20 different sites in there and finding the right number always takes me a minute or two. Also Google Hangouts and Meet do not work.
Google literally checks for Chrome >_On GitHub, U2F works with the Firefox addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/u2f-support-a...

> The worst part of Firefox is the terribly long startup time. It can take up to 10 seconds after a reboot and takes quite a long time even with warm caches. If you're the type with a lot of tabs open, that should improve a lot in the next few releases. https://metafluff.com/2017/07/21/i-am-a-tab-hoarder/index.ht...
> If you're the type with a lot of tabs open Then pray for Tree Style Tabs to be implemented by default in Firefox.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't look like this - one of my favorite plugins - will survive v57.

Nope. It's a lightning fast m.2 SSD. And warm caches don't help either.
Are Vimperator + uBlock origin the only active add-ons? The Ubuntu Modifications one is known to cause slowdowns, for example. What happens if you try to completely reset the Firefox profile, and bring back the plugins you want?
Happens without any extensions. I'm on Arch Linux, not Ubuntu.
I don't care enough to debug it further. Firefox is stable enough these days that restarting it isn't even a daily occurence. I have enough patience to wait that 10+ seconds, it's just a minor annoyance.

It's pretty insane how much your browser knows about you: http://webkay.robinlinus.com/ There's another one I can't find, but it writes out things like "user moved mouse to x,y. User has been idle for 10 seconds, page lost focus, page gained focus" .. kinda creepy how much is available to the Javascript engine.
If you think this stuff is creepy well...okay? I mean, it's not like every desktop application you've ever used in your life couldn't do the same or more?
The difference is that you run only trusted native applications with the ability to check their source code, while you are visiting untrusted sites which often have obfuscated javascript.
I think that it would be a better comparison between a pdf file and the web: pdfs files can't do the same or more.

It's not entirely unreasonable. We use software because it's useful. If you make it so secure that it is no longer useful, what have you got left? In the case of Firefox extensions, I'm aware of the risks of the old model, but the fact is that the only observable difference it has made to me so far is that when I accidentally hit back on a page with an unsubmitted form the other day I lost about 20 minutes' worth of…
The idea that the XUL extension model is necessary for a browser to be useful is obviously false. The majority of Web users use browsers that do not have a XUL extension model. (And, of course, I don't believe your desired functionality is incompatible with Web Extensions anyhow.)
