While the code being open is good you still have to rely on trust.
I certainly don’t have the time to review to code of each extension I use. And even then, we have no garanties that the extension distributed through the browser stores has the same code.
You can see the issue was opened on august 18th but the responsible commit was only made on the 19th. So the code was pushed the extension users before it was made available on the repository. Open code is of no help here.
It just showed the developer is not to be trusted.
I agree, there are a bunch of annoying limitations. But it’s better than nothing. To me the best vim based browser is qutebrowser, too bad it’s using chromium.
How does it compare to tridactyl?
Privacy Badger stopped using heuristic 4 years ago because it could be used to fingerprint you.
Cookie autodelete simply does not work with Firefox’s Total Cookie Protection, which is enabled by default.
As of Firefox 86, strict mode is not supported at this time due to missing APIs to handle the Total Cookie Protection. Also as of Firefox 103, standard mode has also enabled Total Cookie Protection. Use ‘strict’ mode if using pre-86, use standard mode for versions 86-102, or from version 103+ use the custom configuration and set cookie to ‘cross site tracking cookies’ option (not the cross-site cookies).

You don’t even need an extension to automatically delete cookies, just enable privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown and privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage. To add an exception: Ctrl+I>Permissions>Cookies>Allow.
Check Arkenfox’s extension page and the section about sanitizing on shutdown.
Wow, you are really confused. The argument about the functionality being already implemented by Firefox was about https everywhere. This has nothing to do with adblocking and it does break some sites (the one still not using https) but you can still access them with a click.
Cookie autodelete is useless if you use Firefox on strict mode.
I don’t understand your edit, how is more things doing the same thing better? It adds complexity, attack surface while taking resources.
Privacy Badger is useless with uBlock Origin and cookie autodelete is useless with Firefox in strict mode.
What’s the replace widget feature?
Decentralise and adblockplus do nothing uBlock Origin doesn’t already do. You can remove them. Also it’s uBlock Origin, not just uBlock.
That’s weird, something is definitely wrong. Are they set up in a similar way? The first thing that comes to my mind is: Are you using the same DNS server on both? Differences in DNS response time should be more noticeable than rendering time on most hardware. And I think Firefox doesn’t use the system DNS by default but I might be wrong. Do you mind checking? I’m curious now.
Have you tried Tree Style Tab or Sidebery?
You are right, I should have been more specific. He’s openly homophobic. I’m also pretty sure that’s not the case for Mozilla as he was Mozilla’s CEO and was pushed out over this specific thing.
I don’t know why you are shifting from CEO to employees.
How is this better as a protection against tracking? You are still making requests to trackers, this is so easy to counter, make multiple tracking requests, filter out want changes, keep what’s the same and you have some tracking data.
Click fraud is a big thing, with lots of counter measures, I don’t see how they could go past them as they are saying themselves that they have a very naive approach. To me it’s useless at best, but more probably counterproductive.
I don’t think the commenter you are replying to is arguing that chrome is a better choice. He or she knows it’s bad but didn’t make the change out of lazyness (no offence). Change has a cost, especially if it implies changing habits. So people will just delay or avoid them.
Regulations, like the Digital Market Act, are also a big factor.
How do you know?
