They're not concerned with it. The guys doing the extension forks have repeatedly said they're going to focus on Adblock Latitude, so they don't need uBlock.

Back when I worked as a helldesk jockey for a medical lab, I was told by my supervisor that the helpdesk PC's screensaver couldn't be changed because of HIPAA...

Just sayin', supervisors can say some dumb shit.

Apparently, the On/Off widget requires Australis.

Please don't slander the noble dicebag by associating it with the scum who ruined Slashdot and Sourceforge.

My favorite part is where whoever wrote that page actually uses MySQL's behavior to defend PHP's typing stupidity.

Only ones that aren't tied to Australis. uBlock and Firebug, e.g., aren't supported.

No, it's not. For starters, they already had Sync which did pretty much the same thing, sans monetized data mining, without having to integrate a 3rd party service with an intrusive privacy policy into the core browser.

That privacy policy should qualify as a "serious prohibitive quality" and the fact that you think it doesn't makes me question your honesty on the subject.

And first the claim was "user feedback" -- the mozilla feedback page shows that's clearly not true (the feedback, last time I looked, was unfavorable at a 9:1 ratio), then it was "popularity", which is still BS - As has been pointed out, it has about ~1% of the popularity just of ABP, which would put it, as a percentage of the whole, at around epsilon.

Not to mention the fact that several extensions intended to un-fuck the UI have been twice as popular or more, but we don't see them worrying about the popularity there... that position is still "up yours, install an add-on if you don't like our brilliant UX".

About the only way that hard-coding Pocket into the browser is not mind-numbingly, earth-shattering incompetence is if they got paid to do it. I mean, we're talking the no business near source code, drooling on the keyboard, typing by hitting the keyboard with a squeaky mallet kind of moronic.

I can see how one might think that, if one was sufficiently lacking in reading comprehension skills.

Bollocks. It's got barely 10% of the users of the #5 app (Noscript), and about 1% of the #1 (ABP). It doesn't show up until the 4th page when sorted by popularity (#64).

Not quite sure that passes his criteria "B" - might be smaller than Firefox, size-wise (not that that's a terribly high bar to clear at this point), but that's 5 full applications of "bloat" as a web browser replacement.

As much evidence as there is of this mass of "user feedback" asking them to integrate a shitty data-mining add-on into the browser core.

The one good thing that came out of this whole debacle was that someone on r/linux posted about Wallabag.

I love self-hosted knockoffs. :)

How's its extension support? That's what killed Palemoon for me.

Unfortunately, Australis in Firefox has creamed Palemoon's extension support (and the whole user agent debacle on Palemoon's side didn't help things, either).

I'm kind of hoping that Firefox extension authors would react to the whole "signing" BS the way a bunch of big Minecraft modders did to the EULA enforcement change and Microsoft buyout. Otherwise, it looks like neither one will be fit for use for much longer.

Don't forget GIMP.
