Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
That's the defeatist attitude of a true MCSE scholar.

Intune can manage Firefox add-ons btw, no need to use any extra systems.
-
Firefox is in the process of enshittifying.
-
Bullshit.
If you want to use the browser despite those controversies then that's your choice, but be honest enough to admit they exist.
I don't use brave and haven't for a long time, but these things are well documented.

Are they doing their own development or are they still mostly reliant on Mozilla? The thing with all these forks is that I doubt they'd be able to continue development if Mozilla were to disappear, since they still rely heavily on Mozilla.
-
people think of browsers and operating systems here like it's a religion or something, it makes them crazy. google is a problem, but it's not like mozilla isn't going to pull the same crap when it gets big enough.
-
They are reliant. These forks are basically tweaked Firefox.
Yeah, FIrefox is a huge code base. If Mozilla disappears, some big developer group must take over the flag. Otherwise with only community effort, the development would be slowed down.

All the people who bluster and huff about Microsoft's stranglehold on enterprise, education, government, etc all absolutely fail to grasp how utterly manageable Windows specifically (and MS products in general) is/are. If you're familiar with Group Policy, you know; if you're not, your really, really dont. A moderately competent Windows admin with a single Windows Server can make ten thousand Windows workstations work seamlessley in fifty countries, twenty data protection doctrines and ten languages with hundreds of customisations, tweaks, automations and deployments tailored to each combination of device/user/location, if that's what they need. I wish that was the case with any FOSS OS, but it absolutely isn't and even MacOS and ChromeOS don't come even vaugley close.
-
These are negligible or even non-issues and it's not like Mozilla didn't have its fair share of controversies as well. In no way they are "better", whatever this means.
-
Yeah, I peeked at your moderation history after posting, it's OK, I see now this is the best I could have exspected in answer. Good day to you!

Let's hope that Ladybird be better than Mozilla Firefox.
I would be curious if Ladybird is successful, maybe Microsoft, Apple or Brave will use it after leaving Chrome and WebKit.

I've looked it up and apparently there's a problem where if you open a new window with any amount of tabs and close it last, you will lose all your tabs on the first window. It's a big no for me, because I already had to restore last opened windows in Firefox many times, and I am pretty sure you previously could just press
CTRL+SHIFT+Tand it did reopen them, although I might misremember things. -
I think it could be sensible to come out with a subset of modern web tech stack, and just use that. There could be even a lightweight web browser just for this subset. The problem is of course on agreeing with what would be included.
-
Why is there a sidebar for tabs? That seems wasteful for all the screen space it takes.
-
You don't Edge?
-
Maybe, but even if it happens it's going to take a lot of time. Let's wait and see.
-
I use it on my laptop because it doesn't nuke my laptop's battery like all other browsers. So it's a bit of a shame.
-
It's almost like this not-for-profit, for-profit subsidiary thing is a cancer (or at least, my selection bias of late thinks so).
Can someone ELI5 why a foundation can't develop these products directly, with a for-profit subsidiary? Is there something forbidden about rasing revenue for a not-for-profit via product sales? Would this even fix anything?

Microsoft is a spineless removed.
