My new add-on for #Firefox is now live!
Okay, so we are used to tabs along the top and possibly vertically, but what if we got rid of tab bars altogether...?
My add-on makes adding a new tab, closing an existing tab and switching between tabs a content menu task, minimising the interface even further and possibly even helping with task focus.

It may not be perfect, but I am really pleased with it. I hope you like it too.
Mozilla adds CoPilot chatbot to Firefox in the latest nightly builds, plus previews new Task and Timer widgets for the New Tab page.

Remember when #Firefox used to come with an integrated video calling service called Firefox Hello? 
Now they’re offering their users #Amazon giftcards in exchange for taking a survey over #Zoom. 
So you run non-free software in order to connect to an unethical service so you can go shopping at an unethical company. To be fair though, they also promote the alternative option of sending you money directly via an unethical payment processor. What can I say? Thanks for improving Firefox.

Google plan to limit ad-blockers kicks off next week.
If only there were a way we could fire Chrome so we could out-fox Google's plan 🤔
Thoughts on the new Mozilla statement regarding #firefox #PPA
I don't care how strong you think the privacy properties of a new feature are (and there are legitimate arguments to be had disputing those technical claims) - enabling an experiment like that by default is incredibly disrespectful to users, and doubling down is the act that comes across as outright hostile.
Im Juli sorgten zwei #SSH CVEs für Aufsehen. #SUSE Manager 5.0 und Leap Micro 6.0 sind erschienen und #CentOS 7 wurde eingestellt. Weitere Backup-Provider wollen #Proxmox unterstützen. #Firefox 128 verärgert mit PPA, das openSUSE-Projekt diskutiert lebhaft ein Rebranding. Canonical will Docker-Container zukünftig bis zu 12 Jahre unterstützen, während #FreeBSD den Supportzyklus verkürzt.
#firefox #mozilla Mozilla announces more AI in Firefox, still failing to understand that at this point their market share is made of tech savvy people who do not want that.
Mozilla, please. Stop chasing the fads. Get your own values.
People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.
Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.
Mozilla: We're going to start listening to our users!
Users: Don't put any more "AI" in Firefox.
Mozilla: Not like that.

Not wasting anymore time and heart advocating for Firefox and forks, they're doomed.
"Opensource" is sadly not enough to keep me ignoring the awful organization and their individuals parading like they wouldn't just throw you under the bus the moment they get a break
Dear Mozilla what you're doing is stupid, dangerous, and opposed to your mission. You need to stop. #ai #aibrowser #mozilla #firefox #webbrowser

Estou testando o Zen Browser, ele é baseado no #Firefox e tem a proposta de ser mais enxuto, privado e seguro.
E a melhor parte é que é CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, ainda é um projeto iniciante mas já oferece um experiência interessante.
Das features que eu gostei:
Split views (dá para ver 2 sites lado a lado)
Custom mods para interface (dá para customizar tudo, botões etc)
Compatibilidade com Addons fo Forefox (é o Firefox por baixo dele)
Tabs na lateral
Sidebar para apps mais usados (tipo a do Opera/Vivaldi)
E é bem mais leve.

How much would you be actually, genuinely, willing to pay, per year, for a great-browser-first Mozilla Firefox?
No AI, no adtech, no sponsored news/search, and so on?
$/£/€0?
$/£/€10?
$/£/€50?
$/£/€100?
$/£/€ more?
pensando em testar alternativas ao Firefox depois dos anúncios de hoje que prometem mais integração de IA no navegador (por mais que essa "maior integração" não tenha sido bem explicada).
ouvi falar bem do Waterfox e do Floorp, alguém tem outras recomendações ou gostaria de compartilhar sua experiência com esses?
Third: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.
