Mozilla using their limited funding to improve the last libre and independent web browser instead of the most useless and overdone ai hipster shit in existence challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (FAILED)
The problem is that all their money comes from Google and that’s a very poor position for them to be in. If they want to be independent and not at the mercy of Google, they need to find other means of funding.
Not a fan of the AI stuff but if it can loosen Google’s grip on Mozilla, I’m all for it
No shit Firefox is really missing:
- systemwide Webview for Android and Linux
- sandbox compatible with Chromium, especially on Linux and Android
- webapps through a secondary profile
- very secure preset in privacy settings to make it en par with Torbrowser / Arkenfox
- native support for custom Search engines (literally Edge and Chrome have that)
- possibility for a side panel with custom sites.
Thats it basically. Firefox is great
native support for custom Search engines
Can you explain what do you mean by this? I’m already using Firefox address bar to search game wikis directly
- https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/
- sandbox compatible? Elaborate please
- PWAs would be awesome, agreed
- bad for casual, non-techie users, which expect pages to work
- every site that supports opensearch is supported, just go on a page supporting it, click on the address bar and click on the green plus symbol
- side bar exists as an API for extensions, same for containers! Mozilla provides an official extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/side-view/
Geckoview is not a webview for those Platforms.
The Chromium sandbox is way better

Very secure profile. Your argument makes no sense, it would be opt in and Arkenfox works nearly everywhere.
Yeah I am not talking about opensearch but actual custom Search parameters. Fenix doesnt support opensearch too.
Oh nice extension, will try that! no that is not a sidebar I would like
Addition: gui button for managing profiles, especially for secure and insecure profile. Most people dont even know profiles exist!
Also: unlocking profile with hardware key
