The depressing truth is I can't recommend anything. Firefox soft-forks can easily allow unrestricted use of web extensions, but I haven't kept up with which ones are popular and actively maintained so I can't recommend anything specific. If Mozilla ends up standing behind this decision I guess it'll be time to do some research.
Mozilla has been problematic for a while now, both with personnel having some... strong political ideas, their governance, executive pay, product direction....
Ugh, I don't want to go back to a chromium based browser but I don't know how what other options I have at this point, short of dropping down to links/lynx/elinks ..
firefox could have some of the wackiest politics in the world but that fact remains that Google/Chrome is one of the key linchpins for the global corporate surveillance capitalism panopticon that we have today.
I still feel like it's an easy recommendation compared to the rest of the browser market.
I honestly can't tell it the was meant sarcastically.
Who defines what the "right" political idea is? And do you really want to live in a society limited only to ideas that are deemed as the "right" ones by whoever has that power?
What do you mean? Who defines the "right" political ideas in a democracy?
My understanding is that a democracy would exist to allow the majority of a society to define what they want, and that in the US we have a democratic republic because our founders still didn't trust the public enough to leave decisions entirely to a majority vote of the public.
You can do the same with Firefox. Simply use Beta, Dev Edition or Nightly. The first two are very stable. You just need to flip `xpinstall.signatures.required` to `false` in about:config.
As far as I know, installing unsigned extensions is also possible in ESR builds, in Firefox from Linux distributions, in Unbranded Builds from Mozilla (but I'm not sure if they keep older versions). In forks and in your own Firefox builds (from source).
