Yeah I moved away from FF as well after they got too political, very happy with Brave.
That sounds like an “out of the frying pan into the fire” kind of thing.
I just switched from FF to Brave. Despite the unnecessarily built-in adblocking (I prefer blocking on router level + 2nd layer via ublock) and the BAT stuff, it is a good browser. It feels so fast and snappy. I wished FF was as fast. Macbook Air M1

This is a super nice little QoL improvement, but I'd love to be able to configure this to be even longer (optimally by domain, but I'd love a global setting too).

Unfortunately they still don't provide a PPA for their developer build, so I have to update it manually which is extremely annoying. edit: I gotta say, why the fuck would someone downvote this comment?

Let me bring some news: all websites already use javascript. Loading javascript from PDFs will be just another source of javascript vulnerabilities.
You're both condescending and incorrect. Bad combination! Zero websites automatically get JavaScript access from me, and many other savvy web users. If PDFs are not subject to these same controls in Firefox, then this could be a security and privacy vulnerability.

> PDF forms now support JavaScript embedded in PDF files. Some PDF forms use JavaScript for validation and other interactive features. The amount of complexity that one can put into a PDF is both surprising and a tad frightening.
Is this using the browser's own JS engine? Do things like NoScript allow one to turn off PDF JS? On the flip side, are there any examples of PDF JS being actually useful and not a vector for tracking/exploits?
Disappointed. There is so much low hanging fruit in the GUI department: - have bookmarks/history stay on the page you open it on (and no other) - have bookmarks and history occupy a full page, instead of shoveled into a GUI element, dialog style - option to collapse tabs into a page (tab) - make the "tabs window" (the downward arrow after +) a tab, so the tabs can be sorted, searched in, or copied from, as html, to a…
These are accessible at:
- chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml
- chrome://browser/content/places/historySidebar.xhtml
- chrome://browser/content/places/bookmarksSidebar.xhtml
Not sure why they're not shown as tabs by default like the rest of Firefox's menus.

I typically use Ctrl+Shift+S for this
I likely would as well if I remembered it. I have always had a problem recalling key combinations across all the applications I use which is why I rely on context menus and tool bars heavily. I've called out VSCode on this a few times as well as it is a memorization fest to work efficiently in there without proper toolbars. It's not just this but I have memory issues in general which have only gotten worse as I've ag…

Yeah, what on Earth does he even mean by "too political". I've never seen Mozilla make "political" statements beyond their user privacy rhetoric, which Brave is far more aggressive about.
