Really excited about the new PDF editing features!

[-] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago

At this point I'd be happy for people to understand what pdfs are and stop sending them on the emails with signatures that say "to open the file download adobe acrobat reader"... Like I received the other day.

-"Can you send me the vector artwork for this logo, not just a png?"

-"Sure, here you go."

It's the exact same png, just embedded in a pdf

At least cheating like this is still an svg.

Nostalgia to the 90s...:)

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Yes! This one is the big feature for me. PDFs are always a pain to sign.

On Linux I've been using Xournal which does the job pretty well, but I'm really looking forward to try it on Firefox!

When I saw that my reaction was "Why is firefox including a pdf editor?", curious if a lot of people will use it

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

If you're running Linux, you'd understand why so many people are excited about that one feature. I sure am very excited. PDF editors on Linux (as far as I know) suck on Linux.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Same for windows!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Pdfs are about the only thing left I can think of that are better on windows now

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I guess I don't edit pdfs very often except latex?

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

Oh damn this is a huge release. The last couple of updates have been pretty small on the user end but it looks like a ton of features finally were ready for release this time. They're even releasing some of their fingerprint resistance features as enabled by default which is really cool.

DNS over HTTPS + encrypted keys for concealing web addresses from my ISP? Neat! That plus my VPN and I'm feeling really obfuscated.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Unless of course websites don't implent it...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I still don't get how I'd make it work with my pihole

Probably in 120.
There are a lot of changes in 120 in format support.
120 supports hardware HEVC decoding.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

They're paying for HVEC support finally?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

It's passthrough to WMF.

A really terrible decision for the open web.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

WMF? Windows media framework?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Windows Media Foundation I believe, but yeah.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

That's a lot of new features

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

If Firefox 119 was so great, why isnt there a 120???

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

WHAT!?!?! why the fuck would anyone use chrome at this point?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah? So if Firefox 120 was so great, why isnt there a 121???

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Again a button I don't want in the tab bar, but I'm glad that this time it can be removed with two clicks, without digging into about:config.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

This is not a new button, right? Firefox view already existed.
I like that they changed the icon of Firefox view. The firefox icon on it didn't make any sense.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh, you're right, I guess it's a new standalone version and that's why it reappeared for me.
I just searched and reactivated the options in about:config for the old version, nothing reappears (neither does the drop down menu) as long as I don't take firefox view out again from the customization menu.
