I'll start: Opening new tabs all the way to the right or bottom, rather than next to the current tab. Its especially disorienting on vertical tabs, I lose track of which (I changed the setting but its still annoying on blank Firefox profiles).

  • Making people opt-out of AI in Preferences, AI Controls (and using a double negative there), instead of having people install the AI stuff as extensions.
  • Not recommending uBlock Origin at about:addons
  • Having "Search for text when your start typing" disabled in Preferences, General, Browsing.
  • Making people opt-out of all the garbage ads in Preferences, Home.
  • Making people opt-out of "Show search terms in the address bar on results pages" in Preferences, Search. Jesus fucking Christ, UX rules 1-4 are do no mess with links, Back, Forward, or the address bar.
  • Not including the NoAI or the Lite versions of DuckDuckGo in Preferences, Search.

Anyone know why LibreWolf isn't in Debian repos? I know there's a Flatpak, but I don't know if it can be trusted since mintinstall says it's by an "Unknown maintainer".

    They have to default "AI" into it, otherwise nobody would use it. e.g. Copilot. If it was good they wouldn't have to force it.
