+<a href="/articles/Mozilla%20is%20Broken"><h1>Mozilla is Broken</h1></a>
+<p>I’m quitting Mozilla, not that I have been really been into the community(mostly because they want me to do only thing, apply this to programs, not humans) but I was using and enjoying it for a long time(like since 2008). Also in about 2014 I switched from Thunderbird to mutt because I wanted something simple which does GPG, hard time to switch but I love it. And now it seems like Mozilla is killing Firefox for years :</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Version numbering doesn’t mean anything(patches, big change, small change, security update ?)</li>
+ <li>Have a very bad privacy and security (look at the differences between tor browser and Firefox)</li>
+ <li>No more choice for the user<ul>
+ <li>Old one : JavaScript can’t be configured</li>
+ <li>OpenH264(non-free) is installed by default</li>
+ <li>Pocket(non-free service) is installed, displayed, non-configurable at compile time</li>
+ <li>Firefox Hello is installed, displayed, non-configurable at compile time</li>
+ <li>Other New web stuff(WebRTC, HTML5 audio/video, …) have to be disabled/configured into about:config which is a total mess with no help</li>
+ <li>add-ons have to be signed and only by Mozilla, non-configurable at compile time</li>
+ <li>tracks you even if you disable all tracking in about:preferences</li>
+ <li>Geo location can only be totally disabled only with about:config</li>
+ </ul></li>
+ <li>more and more slowness and crashes and <strong>new profile doesn’t help</strong></li>
+</ul>
+<p>Quick and Dirty solution while I make my own browser while keeping a good privacy : Tor Browser(which use ESR) with add-ons for more privacy/security</p>
+<p>BTW if <strong>everyone</strong> have to use a LTS/ESR/real-stable version of a browser even if they are actual developers… well why is the Developer Edition based on Nightly ? For badly supported things like H.264 ? I got gstreamer for that. For brand new stuff ? Well most web-smiths have to support old browsers like IE6 or IE7. For marketing because we are the browser with tons of features ? Well I think so. I think Netscape did the same mistake, why Mozilla would do the same ?</p>

- <p>Here is how I’ve setup my Firefox(I’d prefer a browser which already have thoses fonctionalities, specialy privacy). It have rough language, sorry. I hate what the web is. (I’ll put more details of the setup of about:preferences, about:config and extensions)</p>

<h2>Extensions</h2>
<h3>Privacy/Security</h3>
<ul>

+ <p>Note: I block almost everything because the web is full of bullshit, I want less of it. If you want me to allow your ads, make it non-intrusive and privacy respecting, say it non-intrusively, and I will enable it. I <strong>will not enable your stupid cookie notification-madness</strong> because I block cookies by default.</p>
