#Firefox doesn't need any new features to be more attractive for users, it just needs to make CSS theming more accessible : firefox

Bad for privacy (potentially)

well extensions can be too, you just gotta trust or use open source stuff

Agreed. This is the only reason (besides the built-in fake VPN) OperaGX is popular. All browsers have pretty much the same feature set. OperaGX's biggest strength is CSS customization, Firefox's biggest strength is extensions, Edge's is being the Windows default and Chrome's is it's image of "fast and secure browsing".

All Firefox needs to be is a jack of all trades. But still prioritize it's main distinction.

It should also ship with a better default CSS theme.

And stop forcing websites into darkmode. Part of the reason I use resist fingerprinting is for theming.

Uh, no, they definitely need tab grouping before they get into making CSS theming easier.

Looks to be in the works which makes me very happy. If you use nightly, make sure browser.tabs.groups.enabled in about:config is enabled

@RmDebArc_5 @firefox I believe they really need better tab organization (without the need for extensions). just basic tab grouping like chrome is a very important feature.

Funny enough

Also don't add advertising crap that is opt-out and only configurable via about:config.

Maybe start rendering pages right?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Most of the time its the fault of the developer if a page only works in chrome.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

what pages dont render right though?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

For me it's anything like excalidraw or something like Google sheets. They work fine until I change tabs and come back then it's blank. But if I move the arrow keys or scroll wheel then every comes in and out of existence or stays on the screen even if I select another sheet until I close and reopen the site. But I never noticed this issue before moving to Linux so maybe it's an issue on my machine

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Idk for sure, but if excalidraw uses canvas then there are a lot more possible machine/OS specific problems that come up. Web browser features that hand tasks off to the GPU have gotten a lot better over recent years but there are still oddities like max shaders for a specific browser/OS/GPU combo that'll lead to some funny behavior.

Nah, get chromium and web devs to adopt web standards

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

When chromium is 99% of what people are using for browsing, it IS the web standard. That's the whole point of telling people to get the fuck off of it. Are you not old enough to remember IE4 and ActiveX?
