maddie (MOVED!) :QueerCat: :verifiedtrans:  
why is firefox being able to disable extensions such a big deal? well, let's say a company with low moral standards such as google or microsoft offered a large sum of money to mozilla in exchange for adblock being disabled on their websites. i'm near certain that mozilla would take it.

@mjdxp Of course they would. After all, money talks louder than what your userbase will evr do. At least to those big companies.

They don't give a fuck what their usernbase thinks even when it's not about money. Take a look at Mozilla Connect: some of the top ideas have been living that since forever and no one cared enough to even start implementing them. Major UI reworks happen all the time, yet, it's never about what gets suggested, quite the contrary — most of what gets suggested is about undoing what was done🤣

Who cares what these peasants want, let's redesign!

@m0xee @mjdxp Yep, just so. They never cared much, if at all, and now it's clear they don't. Same as all other web browsers, really.

At least userChrome still works so I can undo at least some of what gets "improved", but I have to admit that this dedicated extension button was pretty bad, and all it's there for is "manifest v3" compatibility: read "getting rid of ad blockers".
Worst thing is, there are no alternatives: getting Palemoon less painful to look at would be a challenge and I'd rather stop using the web altogether than use anything Chrome-based.Surf, Netsurf and even w3m are okay for simple sites.
