Addon alternatives for Firefox 57

Skybird · 11-28-17, 06:30 AM

It was quoted that certain things that the now missing addons for Firefox before could do, could not be done anymore due to their new Chromium-based engine. So I do not see any advantage valid for myself. The thing should brwose me through the web, not more, not less. Then I can stay with Firefox, for its interface is kind of familiar. Changes for the sake of just chnaging something, are no chnages for me.

Brwosers become another monoculture. And one bug hitting one, is the one bug that hits all.

And privacy protection, once the outstanding argument of Opera and Firefox? Sayonara.
