No lie most of those features sound like a bad idea.
Not all of them, there were a couple that were really appealing. I would especially love the ability to get metrics and data on sites and trackers I've blocked in a nice dashboard.
Keyboard operated control and site specific extension were appealing to me
I'd love to be able to snyc everything (all settings, including
user.js, etc.; all extensions and all of their configuration; all visual changes, includinguserChrome.cssand additional files; all website configurations, including all cookies). Basically a 1:! copy of the user profile directory.This won't happen, though.
Cant you syncthing the profile directory between devices?
I could write a wrapper script that synchronizes the directory between two Linux machines quite easy, yes. The script would even make sure that the browser is not running.
That's a simple task, but not my point.
(Let alone syncing the data between at least 4 different operating systems running on 3 different device classes.)
I think Syncthing runs on most OSes now. You would just point at a folder and register the token for them and it does the rest.
Thank you, I know how to synchronize data between different endpoints.
Again: this is not my point.
Don't most ad blockers have this feature.
Yes, same with dark mode. "Dark background light text" works great and locally so sites cannot track you depending on your dark mode preference.
But integration into FF sounds good?
No idea, I assume they at least list the numbers. But I want some pretty charts...
