I've been using Firefox since it was called Netscape, and before that I was using Mosaic. Nowadays, I'm also using Safari (and Vivaldi) but I still can't imagine not using FF as my default browser. More exactly, FF with the uBO extension, which is another nice gift to all of us — a bit like FF pop-up blocker was back then.

I would have loved if they had released an anniversary icon for FF. Too bad they did not, but that's probably just me getting old, all nostalgic and sentimental :p

You might have seen it already, but is this close enough?

[–] Libb@jlai.lu 2 points 2 weeks ago

No, I did not see that. Thx! That's clever.

BTW, I loved this old t-rex logo and felt, well, if not betrayed quite disgruntled the day they replaced it. Loved it so much that occasionally I still wear my old Mozilla 'Take back the web' t-shirts, the ones with the t-rex printed on a red star. It's as cool today as it ever was, if you were to ask me :p

I've been using FF since Opera went to shit, I can absolutely imagine not using FF, what I can't imagine is using a WebKit bloatfest

It's funny how, somehow, somewhere along the way displaying PDFs became the web browser's job

The tab groups are exactly how i wanted them, that's awesome to see.

The profiles are a very nice addition too.

Seems like apart from the new features the UI gets a fresh design as well. That's all personal taste however, I'm just glad they finally implement native tab groups 🤩

Also, just remove all the featured articles bs, nobody cares about the articles (I know that's not gonna happen, but I had to vent for a second)

I wish Firefox was better

I haven't really used it much over the last 20 years
