![]() But after a while, I got an Android tablet and got Firefox on it and was pretty satisfied with it. That thing blew Chrome and Fiirefox out of the water. Didn’t have Firefox for long, then I discovered the new Opera (for the first time, after I discovered Opera Mini on my dumb smartphone). I don’t remember when, I think 2013, I got back to Firefox because Chrome slowed down a lot after lots of browsing, back when I was a normie. Seriously, how did Chrome get from such a simple and fast browser to the clusterΦuck that is today? But at least we got all the memes about Chrome eating all your system RAM and crashing Windows. I stopped using it when Google Chrome first launched, I don’t remember when (2009? maybe earlier), but what I do remember is that Chrome back then had both Firefox and IE BTFO in terms of speed. PS: Seamonkey is the old Mozilla Suite, which was broken up into FireFox, Thunderbird and some other parts that have now faded away as nobody uses them anymore (Web 1.0 tools, at best )īeen a Firefox user since version 2.0, which says a lot. So, as a long-term Gecko user, I refuse to use anything by this unholy trinity, at least on my own systems. But the big players had vested interests in making sure users DO NOT venture outside their carefully guarded cash-cow sorry, eco-system, to preserve their shareholder value and screw their customers for every last penny they’ve got. Seriously, had Mozilla gotten a fair chance instead of being 7-0 down at the start of the match, it would have gained more market share as the quality of their “product” is fine. Gee, how did Mozilla get market share at all in the first place? M$: strongly favours it’s own browser, instead of offering people a choice.Google: strongly favours it’s own browser, instead of offering people a choice.Apple: strongly favours it’s own browser, instead of offering people a choice.If you value advertising privacy, open-source code, and a healthy Internet then start showing Mozilla that these points mean a lot to you by using their web browser full-time and ditch the come-up Google browser that stole the show because nobody sees Firefox when they “google” something–they see “Install chrome, it’s fast and free”.Įvery other major browser at this point is based on Webkit, or Google’s Blink fork.Įvery other major browser can be redefined as the unholy trinity: Apple, Google and M$. In fact, recent studies seem to point out targeted advertising isn’t much better than non-targeted adverts, regarding money returns. Reduce your reliance on a company that mines your data in exchange for a “free” service, what does Google do with this data? Target you with ads. Imagine if all the people, using Firefox, gave just 25 cents to the foundation… better than receiving money from an ad business. Support Mozilla in desperate need of awareness and funding–it struck a deal with Google to keep Google’s search as the default in exchange for funding. On this note, last I checked, iOS (apple) does NOT allow the firefox app to use its own open-source gecko engine but instead uses the webkit engine!! Unique “Gecko” web rendering engine that’s different from EVERY other browser (including microsoft’s edge and the brave browser using Google’s “webkit”.) On my Linux install, Firefox has blocked over 6,000 trackers and I don’t use it much. Don’t believe me? Install it and click the shield icon in the far left of the address bar or maybe it’s located in the settings. Respects user browsing privacy by blocking THOUSANDS of online trackers. It would seem that this forum would be an excellent area to discuss why it should be chosen over other browser choices: ![]() One is still using OAuth and the other one is using 'app-specific' password.Every Linux installation defaults to Firefox as the included browser because it’s open-source. In my case I have a couple of accounts setup in TB to use Gmail. ![]() To do this, just double-click on the password you want to change (under the 'Password' column), this will switch that field into an EDIT mode where you can now replace as needed. Now you are ready to change the password from the old OAuth verison to the 'app-specific' one that you previously generated and set aside. for both of these (they appear in the same window) go ahead and select the 'Show Password' button. In the same of Gmail I have the following defined: ![]() Now you will see all the account credentials you've been using so far. ![]() Here is what I did to change the TB password from the previously working OAuth to the 'app-specific' Google password:ġ) Get the Google 'app-specifc' password generated (see the previous post re: details), set it asideģ) select 'Passwords' TAB => Saved Passwords ![]()
