If speaking the truth and valuing freedom & liberty makes me a “bad actor” then it is a moniker I will proudly bear.
How is brave related to Mozilla? Saw a review that they are related somehow.
Firefox ESR 59 or Waterfox classic is still be best for power users, while Opera went south by changing to Chromium based as did Firefox Quantum in customization. I use Firefox ESR supplemented by Quantum and other and up to date browswers.
Go anti-trump woke, and you go broke
That’s the catch cry of 100 million Patriots.
And for the Uniparty Insurectionists who scape our comms here let me give You and example....
Hi Fox, Hi Murdocks, Hi Republican Party..... How’s your income stream projections doing.
Thus ends the lesson. ☝️
It seems that mainly due to security and speed aspects, then unlike legacy Firefox ESR 59.9 (with Tab Mix Plus and a few other extensions. which enabled more key customizations than the whole of Edge):
1. You cannot make it show multiple tab rows (you can with Firefox
Quantum but it takes one [1]of the hacks. And unless the latter is a portable version, it cannot run concurrently with FF ESR)
.2. You cannot adjust max or min tab width. And the more you open the thinner they get, and all look the same. (except the active tab has an close X)
3. You cannot close a non-active tab by just placing your cursor on it the top right
to get a X to click on (so unless you activate it, you need to R. click on it and hit close tab).
4. You cannot enable different colored tabs as with the legacy Colorful Tabs extension (NOT the one in Quantum).
5. You cannot choose to open links in other installed browsers via right click.
6. You cannot toggle btwn the most recently accessed tabs using the Ctrl+Tab switch (and its Alt+Tab alternative messes up switching btwn applications).
7. Edge has a very poor spell checker and the dictionary is hard to find in the drive even if you could edit it (as you can with that of Firefox).
8. You cannot create more than one profile (as far as i know).
9. I know no extension that saves your text box posts such as this, like the Lazarus legacy FF extension did/does.
10. MS does not make it easy to set another browser as the default one for all html documents and links (details too long for here).
11. There is no option to keep the Find/Search bar open across tabs (handy in searches), meaning you need to do the search new for every tab.
12. There is no option via right click on a tab to choose “Copy link.”
Since MS writes the software for Windows, than it ought to be able to create a real "utility truck" browser - and which I am sure would become a classic for "power users" - rather than just another minimalist Chrome clone.

why is it always sooner OR LATER
why wasnt it last year or the year before when statues and flags were torn down and cities burned?
you should leave the LATER part out
sick of all the typing
Currently transitioning to Brave.com. So far seems okay. When comfy cozy, will uninstall mewzilla/firefux. My own little deplatforming. 😂🔌📴
And 100 million Patriots can afford to buy out if publicly traded, shares, and take Majority ownership or outright purchase of competitive alternative browser companies.
Not so bloody stupid are we, and That is just the start.
That’s just the tip of what’s in planning.
Have a good night’s sleep Deep Swamp Coup critters... 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🐟🤳
So many Freepers are technophobes or Luddites or both - not said to be rude -- but literally have no idea how many of these Kalifornia silicon rubes are absolutely toothless. This girl has no power, other than maybe permitting Firefox to be hijacked remotely, utilized by malware, etc.

As soon as I can figure out how to save my bookmarks I’m deleting FF.
Absolutely legit. Legacy extensions are reason alone.
I changed my browser years ago. It’s SlimJet (Chromium) and Palemoon (Mozilla-ish).
Careful what you wish for libtards. If you want blood, you got it -- YOURS!
I’m willing to assist them in becoming blood donors, if that’s what they really want.
Been using Brave/Duck/Libre office for years now.
Just uninstalled Firefox. Used to be OK, went to hell after Brendan Eich left.
Brave is fine, but they are starting to show “news” and other crap on the startup page that is Leftish. Hope Eich isn’t backtracking on us.
“Mozilla argues that banning and permanent removal of bad actors is not enough.”
Not enough?
How about cattle cars and concentration camps? Is that enough for you?
You got that right.
Software in general seems to attract the people who look like they were made from leftover parts.
Stephanopulos said politics was hollywood for ugly people. Software is “technology” for English majors.
This Wikihow article will get your FF bookmarks into an html, and can't think of any browser that would refuse to import them.
More to the point, just do a trial run with those instructions, and if you can then get them into Brave or Palemoon ( I like ) or whatever you want, then you're good to go.
I have been using Opera browser for years. It is fast, clean, and light, and I don’t know anything at all about their politics. I’ve never had a problem with it.
