Q: What is the easiest way to stop firefox/tb/moz upates in Linux forever? - eviltoast

serious question. i know how to chattr but wonder what is the easiest way to stop worrying the next worse decision from moz. probably some AI shit. I just want to stick with my old moz trash because there has not been a single update in 5 years that made anything better - i always lose functions. this applies to ff (slower, dumber, bloated) and thundeturd (have a plugin you like? WE WILL KILL IT!).

so how to keep a state of software from when it was OK and not follow up on ANYTHING the greedy corpo puts out? I am sure moz will keep releasing horrible updates even when they reached less that 0.05% market share just because they can and are sick people.

    To echo others here. Why the F would you do that? I’ve been running the nightly build of FF for years and have never had any issues. I am on windows for what that matters but still.

      you gave the joke away to easily…

      if you never had “problems” with FF you might acutally be using Chrome because every sane person was shocked when WEAVE was killed, noscript wasnt avail for months and FF mobil has a “select list of plugins” so Google pays their shit CEO more money. But then I read you use windows and I am sure not even the best browser can make surfing on Windows a breeze. Go have some unwantted desktop bloat and pop ups with your EDGE ads.

        You need to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Chrome has always sucked. I use it when something doesn’t work right with FF but with the changes being made under the hood, I’ll probably be using it less and less as time goes on.

        As for F versus FF. I was shortening F-u.c+k. There are some bots roaming the fediverse censoring things.

        The above said and this attitude means I am going to block you. You have a nice day now.
