I understand the push behind web extensions but I don't think there will ever be a keychain integration addon now.
More info about Firefox Quantum (aka Firefox 57) here: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/quantum/ (Also appears to feature an updated logo.)

Running Safari 11 on High Sierra and got a 90 on the speedometer 2.0 test referenced. Why are they bragging about a 66? For reference, ran the test with Firefox Quantum on the same machine and got a 68.
Couldn't the minor speed differences in the comparison video [1] in the post be attributed to the variable latencies of server responses? Or is that accounted for somehow? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIywpvHewc0
I just wish they would have filled in more missing APIs before mandating web extensions. For example there is no way to do a gestures extension that doesn't rely on buggy DOM injection.
I've been trying out the nightly versions of 57 and it's really fast. Would recommend people try out the Beta.
I so wanted to use the new Firefox and switch from safari. I searched and was excited to learn there was an extension for integration with keychain on mac only to learn that it was no longer supported :( I understand the push behind web extensions but I don't think there will ever be a keychain integration addon now.

Yes, it's a real shame that it seems like they don't even care about extensions anymore, and therefore forces me to stay on the older versions and miss out on the new and welcome improvements. I'd be more ok with their switch to web extensions if they had included more powerful API:s, even if they're not available in other browsers. My developer edition recently got upgraded to 57, and Greasemonkey stopped working. R…
Looks amazing. I hope I will finally be able to ditch Chrome!

Is Tree Style Tab working on it? I've disabled updates until further notice.
