I’d forgotten about the death of XUL. I was starting to use it as a nested UI for managing simh, and then it was apparent, that it was going to be a lot of work, and that it was going to be all for nothing as it was going to be quickly dumped.

So annoying.

Yeah, I haven’t been a fan of Mozilla for years but Firefox just has that one feature I just have to have. The fact that they police extensions isn’t even the worst part though, they also have spied on users and embedded ads in Firefox and then deny all of it. Also, the switch from XUL to WebExtensions is still something I’m not happy with.

They lost me the moment they were so quick to police extensions that they locked them all out.

Whatever talent they had is clearly all gone.
