I'm assuming this also means more control over which extensions will be "allowed". To block those by dissidents and the like.

they already do this. there was an alternative to masstagger that allowed you to immediately see if reddit users posted in far-left subreddits, ideally to avoid conversation with them, but it was removed from ff and chrome because it was considered a form of harassment. masstagger stays, of course i think you still might be able to customize masstagger to the same effect though, i haven't really messed with it though

It wouldn't be clown world if it wasn't like that. Just give some time, until they reveal this as a "feature"...

I've only ever used mozilla, i was an avid user since pretty much the start, they became too woke for me, i refuse to use it anymore and now use brave.

The experience has gone south. 89.0.1 randomly hangs on Linux when switching tabs, with YT in the background. Randomly crashes on Android when using Private Browsing. Stability has vanished. However, I'm stuck. Brave's business model is ethically black, and concentrates too much power in one spot. Most other browsers use Chromium, which ruined extensions and will probably die when Mozilla dies. Mozilla is disappearing their talent and therefore destroying the product over political nonsense. Caught in a Catch 33.

Same. Was soul crushing when within a year they extolled the benefits of Tor for the first time and talked about how speech needs to be controlled after the Jan 6 protests.
