I mean US Anti-Trust should get on Google's arse for being Anti-Competitive.

Chrome should really be splintered off and the team merged into FireFox as one big Browser.

Considering the only real difference now is that FF has slightly better privacy controls, probably.

I've heard from a good amount of ex-military Intel people irl that Firefox has intentional backdoors for Chinese hackers.

It's open-source, so some-odd nerd would have figured it out by now.
Could be a plausible websockets exploit, which pretty much every browser has now.

This. And of fucking course some of my important add-ons are still in Legacy mode, so I don't want to update my Firefox until they're compatible.

Quantum is pretty fast, but it still has the memory leak problem. There are 4 instances of Firefox open in my task manager (only 2 windows open, 5 tabs between them), and it's taking up 4.6GB of RAM. That's ludicrous.

Looks like NoScript, uBlock, and User-Agent Switcher are updated.

Mostly I still just need a cookie-permissions manager, some method of disabling websockets, and some method of disabling LSOs.

Really? My NoScript still has the legacy label next to it, though my uBlock Origin is updated.

All I'm waiting on is Text to Image, and a couple cosmetic stuff >_> (Classic Theme Restorer, Black Youtube skin, and Cleanest Add-on Manager)

Thanks to this thing though, I was able to find some extensions that limits the amount of tracking that 3rd party websites can do. It's pretty neat.
