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.

Keyboard operated control and site specific extension were appealing to me

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.

Yes, same with dark mode. “Dark background light text” works great and locally so sites cannot track you depending on your dark mode preference.

But integration into FF sounds good?

No idea, I assume they at least list the numbers. But I want some pretty charts…

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.

Yeah, what kind of bullshit survey format was that? I guess that format has its uses, but the way Mozilla is using it here is awful, awful, awful. I didn’t finish it. What happened to the 1 to 5 stars, points or whatevs?

They could name this “Please select least annoying feature”.

I wonder who cooked this page up, with forcing at least one (mostly stupid) idea into the “Want most” list. Some pages have three bad ideas, so one has to find the worst, and even promote the least shitty one.

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

What a dogshit survey, there were maybe 3-4 thigs I’d actually be interested in (vertical tabs, better sync, better search engine management) It’s built to confirm some manager’s bias 1000% and push AI slop, which will just end up wasting Mozilla’s limited funding. Also loved the “Pocket good!” Angle some of the pages forced you into as well.
