    Ad blocking on Android is the killer feature. Can’t possibly go into the YouTube app and watch there, it’s cancerous

          Eh, it’s usually fixed pretty quickly. When it breaks, I just watch through Firefox with my ad blocker instead.

          The YouTube app sucks, I’ve disabled it and intend to never use it again.

    I will never understand why browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab = false is not the default, or why it is not an option in the Tab section of settings.

    This is one of the shadiest looking links I’ve ever seen. No way am I clicking that.

      The actual url is https://šime.eu/3

      It’s called Punycode.

        Exactly, in some contexts it is displayed like this to mitigate homograph attacks, where someone creates similar looking URLs for phishing purposes. Nothing shady about Punycode by itself, but it’s good to be aware of homograph attacks. Internationalized domain names (IDNs) are cool :)

      It’s just a website. Actually a decent looking one too.

      If someone wanted you to click that link with bad intentions, pretty sure they would have a normal domain name. :)

          This is what it redirects to if it seems safer: https://šime.eu/3

              Not sure what’s your point at this point. If you’re that worried you could’ve used the wayback machine or disabled JavaScript on your browser sense the website is functioning without them anyways.

      @NewPerspective @neop I just read it and it isn’t shady. It’s just not some fancy site owned by some media company.

      The only thing I think he missed was the excellent reader view that I have never seen done as well anywhere else.

    Firefox itself is a little bit spyware. Its not as bad as Chrome but its not good either.

    You should harden it

      Why you getting down voted? You are right. If people really want something better then harden it with a JS file, or use Mullvad or Librewolf.
