Firefox is not alright (lemmy.ca)

I know the title itself will result in a ban because also the people behind firefox are not alright but we know that.

I think firefox is broken though I read posts FF is alright but the team is not.

Well i cant stand FF anymore. Not the people, the browser. I fear of the echochamber and incel brigade I will just outline some points that drove me away from FF and the forks.

  1. the design is shittier every iteration. EVERY iteration. The amount of whitespace with action/magic bar or whatever

  2. the tech behind the design is shittier every iteration. you install FF and it defaults to "os theme design" which can be ANYTHING from dynamic changes in the evening to whatever someone riced. This makes FF unuseable unless you are kid that just uses Google search. No, this functions makes pages ugly, hardly ever makes sense and is mocking the user! there are extensions to switch between light and dark, the weirdos at Moz again went full god mode and make all decisions for you. (like gutenberg for wordpress kind of)

  3. the people behind the tech behind the design are shit. I met few at events in europe - and thats how i imagine insane people with a god complex.

  4. the company behind the people behind the tech behind the design is shit by definition. sell us to google. betray us for facist america...you've done it all.

so, when is their next roadshow in europe...just asking for a friend.

1-3 are all just complaining, not a single solution or idea given out here. Some of the best advice I ever got was "Bring me solutions, not problems". Just complaining like this causes people to skip and say "Well this is a waste of time".

4 is just... what.

Now if this was a post that called out specific things and how you would improve them, that would garner engagement and could make really interesting comment, get upvotes, and maybe even get the attention of people who make changes. Negativity begets negativity

show one example where your fantasy came true. just one.

the marketshare is real. and FF is no longer part of it because of people like you.

show me where firefox ever listened to specific requests. where? when?

killing selfhosted sync server? nope...they went full asshole.

idiot-searchbar? no, they never did and never do listen.

maybe not sell data to google? LOL......

even if FF would be used by only 10ppl you still wouldnt man up to say you were wrong. Moz has always been wrong and supporting american crooks like them is a crime.
