I've read it, it's a pretty good article.
The web could have been, and can still be, so much better ...

what are good firefox alternatives?
>>1687
w3m or links
don't use elinks, it's bloated and unmaintained crap which was even removed from the openbsd ports tree due to unfixed security issues
>>1687
>firefox alternatives
- Pale Moon (FF 28)
- Waterfox (FF 56)
- Ungoogled Chromium
- Iridium (Chromium)

I really don't know to be honest. I'm still using regular Tor Browser though I really want to switch to another browser...
>>1689 (me)
IceCat might be worth mentioning as well, never tried it though.
There's also Librefox, which is simply Firefox with a different configuration and add-ons, not a fork.
And here's someone's opinion on various Firefox-based and Chromium-based browsers:
https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/browsers.html
Are there any non-pozzed browsers that allow for easy syncing of open tabs, bookmarks, local/extension storage and the like?
Either the contents can be encrypted before uploading to the syncronization servers, or one that allows you to configure your own server for the job.
>>1701
>bookmarks, local/extension storage and the like?
Any browser, and put the browser config into a sshfs directory
>open tabs
Lazy bugger doesn't even want to re-type a URL

Is there a reason no one ever mentions seamonkey? It's served me very well over the years where I've always had problems with the ones you've listed.
>>1702
How feasible is it to do this between different platforms? Between linux, *bsd, windows, android and etc
>Lazy bugger doesn't even want to re-type a URL
You got me. To be fair, I tend to leave my tabs open between sessions and having the ability to look at what I was reading in case I forgot to bookmark it or something sounds pretty convenient.
For now though, I just note down the list of websites I have open into a text file and use git to send it across all my devices, but it's still a pain in the ass to reconfigure all my extensions in case I modified the configs on one of them.

It tries to do too much? Also:
>SeaMonkey and the SeaMonkey logo are registered trademarks of the Mozilla Foundation.
So still developed by Mozilla, why? I thought they liked to deprecate shit and modernize everything.
>>1709
I see, Mozilla only provides hosting and legal backing though it's built upon Firefox 52.9 ESR.

>do this between different platforms
Pretty sure Firefox uses the same config formats and databases for all platforms. I once migrated someone's computer from wangblows to trannix and just copying the .mozilla or whatever directory worked perfectly.
>Between linux, *bsd
no problem
>windows
why are you using that crap
there are probably sshfs drivers for it anyway

My main concern is between desktop and android, but I guess I can try it out when I get the time to
There's also the issue of the compatibility between different firefox forks on older versions

So they can add new CSS features for marketers to use in their latest web pages, make pretend security improvements, run diversity campaigns, etc. Mozilla was a corporation for pretty much all its history and should never have been taken seriously. It was only good back around the early 2000s because IE was complete crap and there were no alternatives (actually there was links and shit and the web would have turned out much better if they were used more).
...and if you needed any more proof that Mozilla is bullshit, they have _still_ not made the "disable popups" option work after a few decades. In fact I think the newest Firecox doesn't even have the option anymore. No, there is no technical reason for this as your standard cock sucking apologist would quickly claim. If there was a design issue making the change non-trivial, it would merit an entire redesign, and should have been done at least 18 years ago. The easy workaround is set dom.popup_allowed_events to "" but then you can't click the browse button to select a file to upload (because they're browser is retarded ass shit).

Mozilla is removing control while advertising they're giving people more control, they invade your privacy while advertising they're protecting it, they say they're for the Open Web while creating a walled extension garden and removing RSS. Great organization/company!

you could always use an sftp client and download your config files/history/etc that way.
