Firefox Gets More Investment in New Features, Prioritizing People (and Privacy) Over Profit - Slashdot

On its 20th anniversary, Firefox "is still going strong, and it is a better browser today than it ever was," according to TechCrunch.

In Firefox, the scrollbar width is not tied to the system's scrollbar width setting.

I set the scrollbars to be thicker in Linux Mint so one of my elderly customers can more easily see it. The Firefox scroll bar remained as it was, which is quite thin.

Set that value to something much wider, such as 26. Firefox immediately changes the scrollbar width, no need to restart it.

#WTF @mozilla are you serious?

#Firefox is going to download #Google Trends for my region whenever I click the addressbar?

And the only way to disable this shit is to click on the trends AFTER the download?

What if I do not want to inform Google about my existence AT ALL?

Which domains such "feature" will connect to? Passing which data?
