Hey now, they'll build native features if it's something no one wants (Pocket).

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 47 points 6 months ago

I legitimately do not get pocket. It's just rebranded bookmarks

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 30 points 6 months ago

But haven't you ever wanted the opportunity to pay for bookmarks? Now you can!

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 11 points 6 months ago

Well when you put it that way I'm suddenly convinced! I'm gonna go buy me a pocket to put my Firefox in right now!

[-] lud@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Pocket is essentially free.

You can pay but it's only for small non essential features https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-is-the-difference-between-pocket-free-and-premium-accounts

It was cool in 2010 when I was like 14 and had an iPod touch but didn't have wireless Internet access at home because my parents didn't understand the concept of a router and thought they would have to pay for it, plus christian concern over porn and corruption on the net. So I could go to like McDonalds or whatever, download all of these game review articles, web novels, and whatever else I was into at the time so that when I got back home I could still interact with the web.

Nowadays, yeah I don't really get the point. Everyone's permanently plugged in so a regular bookmark is fine. Also in case anyone was concerned, my buddy eventually gave me his old router and I secretly set up WiFi in my house so I was good for the rest of the time I lived at home đź‘Ť

Strict parents create sneaky teens. My mom’s way of grounding me from the computer was taking away my keyboard. She figured that without a keyboard, I couldn’t use it. I had a spare keyboard buried under my bed. I also quickly figured out how to use Windows’ accessibility options in case I was ever truly without a keyboard or mouse.

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Funnily enough with this explanation I finally get what Pocket is, because I thought modern Pocket was something different and not the same thing from back then.

[-] OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Have never used it, but doesn't it download the whole article? So if source becomes unavailable, you still get an archived copy similar to other services like archive.org.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I use it to sync long from journalism articles to my Kobo. It’s perfect for it.

Yeah at least firefox without extensions is good :P

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 months ago

Without uBlock Origin? Not really. Not Firefox's fault, the internet just transformed into a massive ad-infested shithole, but still, it's unusable without an adblocker.

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

yeah okay fair

[-] michael_palmer 10 points 6 months ago

I can't live without dash-to-dock extension.

[-] WereCat@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Same here. I like that Pop!_OS makes it default.

Point out something that could be improved

Be told to just download an extension to fix the issue

Understand why regular people don't use Firefox

[-] Arfman@aussie.zone 13 points 6 months ago

To be fair you can have the browser with just features you want and nothing else that other people want that you don't need

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Chrome simps unite!

People don't use Firefox because of trends, not because it's somehow inferior. Yeah, no one gives a shit about your extremely weird tab preferences

What are some examples of features rhat should be native but aren't?

I use a couple extensions but nothing that I think should be in the core browser.

[-] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 27 points 6 months ago

I think container tabs, which is currently an official Mozilla extension, should be native.

I don't have that addon and I can use container tabs without any problems. Currently on Firefox 125.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

You still need an extension to automatically open specific sites in their own containers. I genuinely don't get why.

More UI customizations? A few simple settings could go a long way.

[-] wonderfulvoltaire@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Ublock origin

[-] h3rm17@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

Open urls in a container, by ñrepending them with something. Like, say I have 3 gmail accounts. Work, personal, and purchases. With official multiaccount containers I can either have gmail always open on one or manually open it on one.

I have an extension where I can put something like "ext+container=Work&https://gmail.com" on my homepage and everything opens where it should.

[-] ppercipio@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

This is a great idea, and would make the issue with some extensions not being able to save tabs that are in containers moot.

One could define a meta-url concept that holds the web URL as well as any additional tab context, this then could remove the need for extension to manage their own arbitrary per-tab store.

[-] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

A good way to visualize large numbers of tabs (like with tree or panorama tabs), an ad blocker (Mozilla is supposedly privacy-focused but doesn't have this), and a way to group tabs without having them in containers.

[-] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Who are you people with more than like 10 tabs open at once? Do you guys just not close something after you're done reading it?

[-] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Research projects and work mostly.

Just browsing documentation can have me hitting that number of tabs easy. I tend to open stuff in new tabs so I can flip back and forth. Also if I'm searching for error messages I like to open in new tabs so I don't have to continuously go back and forth. I won't kill a tab until I know I'm done with it, I have a tab sleep extension to save resources for long idle tabs. Tab groups are a nice feature that I would love in Firefox to help clean things up, I tend to use new windows and virtual desktops to compartmentalise tasks.

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago

They get money from Google, Google makes money from ads, if they start blocking ads, Google would probably end their deal with Mozilla

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

Nah, then Google would have a monopoly and be subjected to extra rules and regulations.

They rather fund a competitor than do that.

[-] Bye@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Hahaha python

They don’t even have math in the base language, you have to import numpy to do basically anything.

[-] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 6 months ago

Not many languages let you do advanced math with their base, usually libraries do the heavy lifting and in numpy's case it isn't even written in python.

[-] NaiveBayesian@programming.dev 14 points 6 months ago

Do you never import math?

[-] TunaLobster@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Go parse JSON with standard library C++. Hahaha

[-] Tenkard@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

I'll start

include regex.h

What's wrong with using extensions? Are you sad that your phone doesn't have features and you need to use the app store?

[-] BrinkBreaker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 months ago

Nah. That's why I use an android. Extensions go burrr on android firefox.
