... because Mozilla already clarified their position on this last year.

TL;DR

No, Mozilla is NOT ditching manifest v2.

Well what’s happening with MV2 you ask? Great question – in case you missed it, Google announced late last year their plans to resume their MV2 deprecation schedule. Firefox, however, has no plans to deprecate MV2 and will continue to support MV2 extensions for the foreseeable future. And even if we re-evaluate this decision at some point down the road, we anticipate providing a notice of at least 12 months for developers to adjust accordingly and not feel rushed.

Those won't can access it from Firefox on Linux, use User-Agent Switcher add-on as a workaround.

Do you really think Google will give up on their pole position because of this verdict?

In India, the share of Linux desktop became double just within one year (from 8% to 16%). I only hope this data is right.

Just installed it, and my initial impression -

  • Thanks for dark mode :)
  • UI responsiveness is good.
  • Need an option to increase/decrease width of reading pane.
  • Need multiple themes like Wikipedia website.
  • Require smooth scrolling (I'm on 240 Hz monitor but scroll doesn't feel smooth on this app, though apparently uses GPU acceleration)

I was reading somewhere that Intel will publish a tool to verify that.

Anyone tried this beta version yet? Any idea how stable it is?

Thanks for the additional details.

The scariest part of this whole problem is there is no way for the owners of i13/14 CPU to figure out to what extent the CPU is damaged. It's like holding a ticking bomb without knowing when that will go off!

Yes, but then who will dare to buy from them in future?

Care to share the proof that Mozilla sells user data to anyone?

Firefox’s stance on privacy, like Apple’s, is to some extent branding

Some of the recently introduced Privacy related features -

  • Enhanced Tracking Protection
  • Total Cookies protection
  • Browser Fingerprint protection
  • DNS Over HTTPS support
  • Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) support
  • Continued Manifest v2 support
  • Copy URL without tracking parameter
  • Protection against redirect tracking
  • In-Built on-device translation

(Further options to harden Firefox via user.js or via about:config)

I moved to Mozilla Thunderbird long ago https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/

 

Enhanced Performance: DNF5 promises faster repository metadata processing and improved package query operations, aiming to save users precious seconds during package management tasks.

Reduced System Footprint: By eliminating Python dependencies and merging the functionalities of DNF and MicroDNF, DNF5 offers a significantly smaller installation size, reducing metadata redundancy.

Unified Experience: Fedora aims to provide a consistent package management experience across all platforms, with DNF5 serving as the sole package manager for servers, workstations, and containers.

 

Note: Xface wiki doesn't explicitly mention version 4.20 comes with Wayland support.
