The features #Firefox added: AI
The features I want (back): scrollbars (i don't f care if the so-called "designer" want to hide those), ability to select text (fucking hard when links now), copy paste (do not let app developers mess with it), right-click save as works on any video (if I can view it, I can save it), history you can filter both by site and period, simple click in url bar set the cursor, not select the entire url (triple click is for that)... Well, a tool to use the web 🤷🥺
@lutindiscret I recently discovered that holding Alt while selecting the text of a hyperlink works well. But maybe you're talking about something else.
But in general, I'm totally in agreement with what you're writing. Mozilla is not the only dearly loved organization that in betraying its legacy from the good days of Free Software enthusiasm :(
@lutindiscret Oh for crying out loud ... can people stop complaining about #Mozilla for just 5 seconds?
In 2025 the #Firefox team added Vertical Tabs, Tab Groups, improvements to PiP, PDF editing and so on while still supporting MV2 and uBlock Origin.
They're now working on Split View, customizable keyboard shortcuts and other non-AI stuff. An AI kill switch is coming in the next release.
Scrollbars? One non-AI search learns: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-increase-the-width-of-the-vertical-scroll-bar/m-p/48640.
@asterix @lutindiscret You are talking about Firefox features but ignoring the massive investment in AI and them shipping AI features from companies that are destroying the web.
But yeah, we got a couple of features.
@yoasif I'm not defending their AI investments at all. I don't like the push for AI in every bit of software today either.
However, it is intellectually incorrect to state they ONLY focus on AI and deliver nothing else.
@lutindiscret You can get "normal" scrollbars back in Firefox by setting a couple of preferences in about:config

...or switching to Konform Browser where it is default :3
