Forcing useless features or features that are useless to most users is more or less what windows is doing. Why the double standars?
Especially when Firefox could have included those features as optional modules (even as preinstalled extensions) that we could simply remove if we dont want them?
How are they being forced upon you?
They are adding them as features to the browser, making it heavier and slower, instead of adding them as optional extensions so that they are only there for the ones who wish them.
Just disable them. It's not like unused code paths consume resources usually.
How do you know the features are making the browser slower?
How are you quantifying the increase in weight?
I don’t know how you misread my comment to say that I believed Mozilla should continue to add features.
It might be me and in that case i apologize
It just sounds like you think its good that they added all these featueas
It's not you. It's ridiculous that they're this indignant.
My apologies. I definitely wasn’t meaning to come across indignant. I guess it’s just one of those things of things sounding perfectly clear in your head and not perfectly clear in the receiver’s ear. Hope you have a good day going forward.
If that's what you're trying to express then I kind of feel like you miswrote your comment. You want them to focus on browser features but not continue to add features? You don't feel like there's any room for confusion there?
