The Continuing Bikeshredding of Firefox

It does so many things wrong related toLinux does so many things wrong that you might as well ignore it entirelyfor that.:troll:

Mozilla "chromifying" Firefox means I will no longer be able to use ChromeFX theme, which makes Firefox look like Chrome.

this is a hash
#Foxyeah this is a hash tag
A hash tag is a hash + an identifying word or phrase.
Edit: and this is discourse.
-
Nope, those are headers.
# this is a hash.
-
No, in markdown land, a header requires an open and closed hash to be a header.
This is just discourse shitting the bed.

TIL people still use Firefox.
What else would they use? Broken-ass Chrome, that tricks people into registering by making them think they're logging into Gmail, or not-yet-broken-but-soon-will-be Edge, that no adblocker supports?
I mean, the only nice thing about Chrome is its omnibar.
Oh yeah, I know: Midori or Vivaldi, right? Browsers no-one uses.

Those appear to be words but I don't understand any of them.
-
During first run (or maybe subsequent too, can't remember) Chrome shows (or used to show, can't be bothered to check) a login page, which people mistook for a Simple Google account login page, but they were being "logged into" Chrome instead -- have their accounts linked to the browser and data archived in the cloud. I know people who fell into this trap.
-
I believe it does it unless it has other startup tabs to display.

Ugh, you cannot be serious. I use chrome at work (Firefox doesn't work with file uploads to one of our internal websites. Dunno why. Haven't checked if it's been fixed recently.) and every time I need to go to some internal website I need to verify I'm actually selecting a URL from that thing and not a google search that's not going to turn up anything relevant because I'm looking for something internal.
Give me separate history and search bars every day of the week.
-
I haven't used Chrome properly in a while, but what I really loved about the omnibar was the search function. It was awesome to be able to type youtube.com <tab> search query and bypass the home page. That was reaaaaaly awesome and I miss it sooo much!
-
Ever used duckduckgo as your default search in ff?
You can type
!yt nyan cat
in the address bar and it searches for nyan cat on YouTube.You can even search using other sites, like wikipedia (!w), Google (!g) or bing (!b) (I think there are over 100 codes for it)
-
Cue @Onyx saying "Opera had
g keyword
before it was cool!"
Filed under: actually it was pretty cool back then already
-
I still use Firefox because I haven't found an alternative browser for Android which has both a decent ad blocker and an easy way to sync bookmarks, history etc. between devices.
-
I forgot about DDG, I used to like it very much.
Still, Chrome's ability to use (almost?) every website's search ability is a spot on.
I really found it strange after switching back to FF, that no one else missed/requested this.
-
You can type !yt nyan cat in the address bar and it searches for nyan cat on YouTube.
Chrome's bar lets you set shortcuts so if I type "yt" it switches to searching youtube.
-
Firefox also lets you do this by setting bookmark keywords - for example, I mapped wikipedia to "wk" so typing "wk blah" in the address bar searches wikipedia for blah.

I tried Vivaldi. I like it!
Until it inevitably slows down to a crawl and eats up all my RAM, because Node!
Cue @Onyx saying "Opera had g keyword before it was cool!"
Opera had customizable shortcuts for freaking AGES, yes. Since 9, I think? You could just right click any search box, select "create search", assign a shortcut and BOOM! It analysed the form and created the query for you.
The new piece of shit has a few search engines baked in, though. I can no longer use
y
for YouTube because it's now Yahoo! And you cant unbind it!Bitter. Did I mention bitter recently?

So you only use it improperly? That's what incognito mode is for. ;)

g&ts are amazing. Fruity drinks make me nauseous.

!yt nyan cat
in the address bar and it searches for nyan cat on YouTube.ISTM that should make it search everything except YT.
Yes, I know the

Yes, yes but what about jynnan tonnyx?

You didn't get it. I don't use it properly, ie. for web browsing. I use it to HACK PEOPLE! MWAHAHAHA!
Chrome and Emacs through Sendmail. All of your computers are belong to us!!!

I prefer a jinond-onicks.

But does Chrome have Grumpy Cat? Where is Grumpy Cat?
-
!important;
i always read that in CSS as "not important"
which always causes some cognitive dissonance
-
My point, exactly, about DDG using
!yt
to search YouTube. I think it should exclude YT from the search.
-
"So, what site do you want to search?"
"Not YouTube!"
"Okay, uh, you don't get it. You want me to search a specific site, right? Which one?"
"Not YouTube!"
"Fine, but there's a billion other possibilities. You want Amazon, maybe? Goodreads? Fucking Slashdot?"
"Not YouTube!"
"Know what, if you can't decide, then fuck you. Here are your Bing results. Have a great fucking day."

-
What's your opinion on the dictionary access operator?
-
Question... is the removal of extensions also part of the "Great-or-Dead" initiative? You know, the only reason you'd want to use Firefox instead of Chrome?
Well, there's also the fact that the Gecko implementation of the user-select style makes a heck of a lot more sense than the Webkit implementation...
Mozilla "chromifying" Firefox means I will no longer be able to use ChromeFX theme, which makes Firefox look like Chrome.
The existence of this convinces me that some people just prefer the worst of both worlds. Let's take it a step farther and go for Chrome's look and feel with the Dillo rendering engine and IE 4's extension gallery!

And Opera 12's supportedness?

See, this kind of shit right here is why VB will stay the red-headed stepchild of CLR languages. If it's a fucking string literal, it goes in the fucking quotes!

I think using the Dillo engine covers (and surpasses) that. I actually had been going to suggest the Presto engine instead and changed my mind because there was a time when (aside from some blind spots like onbeforeunload) the Presto engine was actually pretty well up to date, perhaps even ahead of the game, and I didn't want that to distract from the ,d.
