Looks like another Smooth Move by Mozilla that will end up costing them
market share. I don't like Chrome, but basically forced to choose between
Pottering or Google at this point :/
You mean, there'll be anything left of current 5% after FF57 hits?
Too bad, Firefox is the only somewhat usable browser. With enough
extensions (hello 57...) it's possible to beat some basic security into it,
while Chromium has built-in spyware even in that "incognito mode" snake oil
that can't be disabled by extensions. Pale Moon guys, while their heart is
in the right place, don't seem to be doing well.
On the other hand, I don't quite see what's the point of sound in a WWW
browser. From time to time, someone insists you to view something on
YouTube (because it's so hard to write that instead...) but that's a matter
of clicking "download" then using a proper media player.
Yeah I am very bothered at mozilla's, and a variety of other
organizations choices that don't respect the end users and developers.
Doing something that alienates the majority of your users for "progress"
doesn't seem like a good idea, only a non-profit or a monopoly is
whacked out enough to pull this type of thing.
They haven't put the users at #1 for a long time, why do you think that
firefox is still very vulnerable to browser fingerprinting? that is by
design.
