3/4 years. Experience has been good.
Duck Duck Go, Brave and Vivaldi. I’m de-firefoxing.
Clockwork Orange
The picture missed Google’s hand of money paying Firefox
I avoid it like the plague. Only a few people know my stance and as far as I am aware of its only people that interact with me outside of the internet. I’m not looking to change my mind and others aren’t either. Changing one person to my thinking won’t change anything and me changing to someone else’s thinking won’t change anything.
Congratulations to a partnerships success coming from Google’s payment being Firefox’s main source of income…
Unfortunately at the time I posted this from my mobile device so had no access to logs etc. Now that I’m up in running already aware of needing to give more information than I did. Thanks for your response as it led me to revisit the step where I missed installing essential packages and installing NetworkManager.
I actually just did a fresh install and looks like I overlooked adding essential programs step in the wiki. I added iwd before but I also just added NetworkManager. Also thought it best to just put a DE on it instead only running a WM, (I’m normally a awesome wm user on Debian). Before I was going straight from grub install completion to tty. After I started NetworkManager pinging to archlinux.org worked. Maybe sometime I can try to install it again but leave out the DE and see if it was just as simple as leaving out NetworkManager. Not sure of installing a DE would have provided needed programs for my situation or not.
A web extension isn’t going to be that much of a game changer for Firefox. Usage is down, new profile rate is down, concerning financials towards Firefox and this issue has been ongoing for sometime with ublock. This isn’t meant to diss ublock though.
I don’t have much hope for Mozilla attracting more users to make userbase count impact. Hopefully overpaid execs proves my pessimism wrong about my favorite browser.
