No lie most of those features sound like a bad idea.
Not all of them, there were a couple that were really appealing. I would especially love the ability to get metrics and data on sites and trackers I’ve blocked in a nice dashboard.
I’d love to be able to snyc everything (all settings, including user.js, etc.; all extensions and all of their configuration; all visual changes, including userChrome.css and additional files; all website configurations, including all cookies). Basically a 1:! copy of the user profile directory.
This won’t happen, though.
A couple screenshots so people can see what kind of question s there are:
Pocket is decent but I haven’t used it in years and definitely don’t want it to be a Dev priority
It felt like glorified bookmarks with like marketing attached or something with an icon I couldn’t easily remove lol
They could name this “Please select least annoying feature”.
The german translation was absolutely strange.
Belgium, Switzerland, Austria not choosable??
“Convert Important Websites like GMail into Apps?” Why this weird example?
In some categories all were more important than the points in otger categories
That was a feature they removed.
Some WebApps are only available as websites and don’t have a native counterpart.
I’d personally like this feature to come back so I can use those WebApps without having to have other browser-things clutter the UI (like multiple tabs, url bar, etc.) and aren’t needed when you only want to open one webapp.
Yes I know about PWAs and I am a big supporter. I even experimented with some userchrome.css to emulate a webapp experience, tried the older extension and webapp manager, and the newer “Quick Webapps” by elevenhsoft, and the experience is not really nice.
Used Element web as a Chromium webapp and while not perfect (for example no way to open links with the OS default browser) it is really good.
I just found it odd for Firefox to use GMail as an example, as people using GMail would probably also use Chrome.
Crappy choices. One basically is forced to like a third of the ideas presented, even though 90% is garbage. And even worse, sometimes they hand you not just one, but two or three shit sandwiches on a page, and you can only dislike one, AND you actually have to like one to proceed.
And at the end an unskippable question I’m not going to answer, so I closed the tab.
