I didn't find many comparisons between the two let alone a recent one. So they're both packages for changing Firefox prefs for better performance and or privacy. I'm interested in applying them to Zen Browser. Can you provide detailed comparisons and if I should you use both?

Interesting (but not surprising) what Mozilla's stance is.

Having switched to Zen Browser, something I miss with Firefox was its stability. I find myself looking up Zen browser bugs and workarounds too much. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I'm downgrading Zen versions due to a bug in the stable version, I never had to do so during my years on Firefox. Devs on Github making an app on their free time have can't spend as long on QA as a multi-mullion dollar organization.

This is what I mean

I found these answers, this is WAY too hard.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1341555

https://old.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/p485un/how_to_disable_the_audio_playing_icon/

Is there an easier solution ? To turn off these play/pause/mute button that I keep click on accidentally ? I already have good controls with "Find sound tab" audio addon and I don't need this

ℹ️ Edit

come on guys. 30 likes, 14 people gave a kudo? What kinda like is that? "Cool bro but not gonna make an account lol" IF YOU WANT THIS, GIVE IT A REAL LIKE

If you want, vote for my proposal to allow 2 sidebars in Firefox!

Firefox gets vertical tabs and a sidebar, cool huh? And you can open pages as sidebar popups, for example a small dictionary page, or a notepad or whatever else!

But when using vertical tabs and these site popups, it looks pretty ugly and pushes the main site to the edge.

Having a sidebar and a vertical tab bar would fix this.

Current state and mockup as images attached.

This is how it currently is: the sidebar and the vertical tab bar are the same. Placed extensions are unintuitive and popup windows (like Mozillas SideView or dedicated extensions) are next to the tabs, pushing the main website even further to the side

current state

This is how I would like it to be. A sidebar and a tab bar. Extensions go on the sidebar and the tab bar is just for tabs. The browser view is centered and clean.

(Tbh I would like tabs on the left but I am too lazy to edit the mockup)

The other day I was using firefox on a public. On my computer creating a new tab creates a blank tab, but this one it showed 'Suggested by Firefox'. One of the links was interesting, so I clicked on it. Would this be considered user data that would be sold? Some clarification from Mozilla about what constitutes selling user data would be great.

Besides is good that vertical tabs are now natively available on Firefox. I prefer the old sidebar along with my favorite vertical tabs extension. Is there a way to restore it?

It seems like cookies inside my containers have been deleted after the update. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

I've had this for quite a while, before switching back to Proton from tuta. Proton of course has aliases, which would make Relay redundant, but Relay also gives you a phone mask which is very helpful to have and Proton doesn't yet offer this.

Look at this chud video here.

It's just complaining about DEI, but why now? Apparently, Firefox has a "license" to all your data now. How much is that true? Is he just cherry-picking here, in this case? Librewolf or whatever it's called might be a better option. There's also Zen browser.

I got this in my YouTube feed and didn't know it was more anti-DEI slop and now I'm not sure what to believe. Wish they didn't have to make it so political like they accuse others of doing. Ah well. But what is this I hear about Firefox having a "license" to all your data?

I guess that's like a lot of browsers, tbh, but I suppose Firefox has higher standards, or did...

This is a link to a diff of Firefox where the FAQ are stored in a structured way. In the diff it can be seen that the question "Does Firefox sell your personal data?" has been removed:

        {  
            "@type": "Question",  
            "name": "Does Firefox sell your personal data?",  
            "acceptedAnswer": {  
                "@type": "Answer",  
                "text": "Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from  
                        many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed  
                        to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "  
            }  
        },  

People in the comments are asking if the definition of the word "neven" has been changed or what's going on.
