Solun1, 17 Dec 2020Why do you mention Flash though?The article says that Firefox 84 is the last version to support Macromedia Flash.

    Peet, 17 Dec 2020Dream on, the whole internet is tracking you all the time.I didn't mention tracking so why do you bring it up? I don't mind being tracked for marketing purposes, what I'd have a problem with is any kind of government tracking me. But Firefox provides very good anti-tracking options if that's what you want. I don't.

      abigfanoftechs, 20 Dec 2020Google is a major sponsor of FF. They need to keep FF going... moreGoogle is not their sponsor. They pay them for implementing Google search bar. They pay every other browser for doing that.

        Solun1, 16 Dec 2020Love this browser, not buggy like Chrome and it's fast... moreGoogle is a major sponsor of FF. They need to keep FF going in order to give an appearance of competition in the sector - it's a sham.

              On Windows OS, Firefox is the best browser. It has tons of add-ons which are updated frequently by the developers. Never interested in Google browser and their search engine on Windows. On Android OS, DuckDuckGO is the best.

                On M1 macs, safari is the only browser to go. No need chrome, no need firefox.

Wish they would solve this., It is the only thing stopping me from permanently using firefox as default browser.

                              That shouldn't be hard. They already have a working iOS app. The M1 is basically the same processor as the A14 but with some extra cores.

                                Poor Flash… Once the dominant way to stream videos, play browser games and make websites look fancy and futuristic (not to mention a resource hog!).

                                  Love this browser, not buggy like Chrome and it's fast. Plus it's the last stand between our freedom and total Google dominion on the internet.
