How much was the CEO getting paid?
I'm no expert, just reading web pages: Apparently Firefox market share dropped from 30% to 3.46 over the same time her income went from 500 k to 4 million. An old write up: https://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html
Along with obvious ones like uBlock Origin working perfectly, etc., I have 2 other favorites: - Native reader mode - Native PiP mode for videos Yes, you can get extensions for this in Chrom(e/ium) but having these as a native feature is really nice. Things I want to see in Firefox: - Good/extensible keybindings - Tab groups - Tab search EDIT: How do I break sentences to newline in HN without really making a new parag…
Tree Style Tabs solved the tab grouping problem for me. I like to put it on the right and I'm looking for a way to have the tab bar hidden. Tab search exists: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-open-tabs-firefo... , also you type % into the address bar to start searching over tabs. Not sure if this covers your needs, though.

also check out "sidebery" as a modern alternative that does a bit more
I've tried to switch from TST to Sidebery twice and both times hit small but bad bugs (restore not working on browser restart) and went back to TST. It's simultaneously slicker but buggier. It looks like Sidebery is still under development though: https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/issues

>Looking at all the issues this browser causes, and the very low usage, I'm not spending time tracking down what is going wrong. been hearing this for about a decade now...
Firefox usage in 2012: 24%. Now: 7.8% on desktop, almost non-existent on mobile, which brings it to a total of about 4%. Your point of "been hearing this" is what?

Is there a way to make TST look nicer? I’m sure a lot of people appreciate its UI, but it really stands out to me in a negative way.

and it gives me a nice and minimalist UI consisting of just-dense-enough tab titles, with the current tab highlighted. Looks like so:
I'm curious if anyone is using Brave or another Chrome based browser in lieu of Chrome and what their experience has been?
I started using a text-only browser for recreational web use (not lynx) and can never go back to a graphical one. The popular graphical browsers keep growing in size and complexity but I am still doing the same basic tasks on the web, i.e., retrieving files and consuming them. For these basic tasks, the so-called "modern" browsers are overkill. Chrome is something like 150MB with dynamic libraries. The text-only brow…
That is, the Chrome binary alone is like 150MB.
I feel the same way about Safari. Yes, it's not perfect- and no, you don't get all the flexibility, but it's so lightweight, stable, and energy efficient, I have a hard time considering something with a few more features in the categories I've been able to do without.
Serious question: what's the best way to block ads and enable privacy features on Safari? I'm open minded about Safari but it seems like it's a lot more difficult and maybe impossible to have the same level of privacy as I do on Chrome/Firefox/Brave.

I'd switch to Firefox in a heartbeat if I could somehow focus the URL bar with Cmd+D instead of Cmd+L (years of muscle memory with Alt+D on Linux previously). Other browsers have a menu entry for this (File -> Open Location... in Chrome) so keyboard shortcuts can be switched in the Keyboard settings but Firefox doesn't have this. :| I've tried various methods without success. If anyone had a working solution I'd be v…
I think it may be possible to change browser shortcuts with a custom UserChrome.js but it is very much going down a nonstandard path.
This issue requires action from Mozilla, there are no user solutions as far as I'm aware.

Long ago MyIE2 had the most sophisticated mouse gestures. For example: One could select some text, drag it and it would search. (I had search configured to open non advertisement results in background tabs) If the text contained any links it in stead opened each of them in tabs to the right. So you selected the entire menu of the blog and tossed it to the right. There were gestures to move to the tab on the left or r…
When the spying allegations surfaced I kinda lost interest in maxthon, how is it these days?

The 2020 forum posts describes mx6 as:
> The main browser features of mx6 will be developed based on a deeply customized chromium code base and existing mx5 codebase. All bitcoin related features will be developed by Maxthon team. Mx6 also has an open API to enable other developers to integrate their code.
