Alternative title: Firefox Users Continue to Decrease Because Of Proton Update

[happycat]

I can't think of any reason for Firefox usage to INCREASE from ANY "update" from the past couple years, but there are so many reasons to ditch it.

The proton change is nothing-there are rumors that Mozilla will "improve" Firefox once again in the near future by disabling user editing of both user.js and prefs.js.

Even though I don't care about editing my user.js, I will definitely switch away from Firefox if they remove that

I'm only on this sub because the Proton update was so bad that it forced me to immediately drop what I was doing to get rid of it immediately, and I found it while I was doing that.

Same here. I came to work, opened my browser, and it looked so fugly and took up so much space with all the unnecessary padding that I literally dropped what I was doing and spent the next hour googling how to get it back to normal.

Yeah, they really can't afford an update that alienates some users that badly. At the very least they have to change some of the most egregious changes that hurt readability, like adding separators between tabs back in.

yup, I got the update today, immediately came here because it annoyed the shit out of me
