Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@[email protected] Isn't it just a browser tab on the side? As long as it doesn't share browser history and/or other info I think it's fine

@[email protected] It looks like that to me, but I’m not sure if it does anything else

Personally, I do NOT like the development, to integrate more and more in a browser. No one can keep track of this code base anymore and security becomes a gamble!
Meanwhile a browser is more like an OS (access to maaany system APIs, sandboxing, firewalls, storage...) than just a frontend for the web!
But fundamental functions are still missing like tab-history management when work with duzend to hundred of tabs.
I miss the focus in development.

Waste of time and resources on software bloat. Deleting unneeded code is a better use of their resources.
