Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@joewilliams007@kbin.melroy.org @SvensKia@kbin.social @TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world @firefox@fedia.io I disable searching in the browser. When I wish to search, I go to a specific search engine web page.
When users have to work to DISABLE stuff in a browser, it reduces the trust people have in the browser. Consider why people have been switching back to Firefox, and now you are making the same mistakes that drove people away fro their former browsers.
KEEP IT SIMPLE AND TRUSTWORTHY.
Are you saying you've disabled searching from the address bar and instead load up whatever.com and then type your search into there? I don't understand what you think you're gaining by enforcing this extra step.
@Deebster@programming.dev @jfmezei@mstdn.ca Control? Who decides if something is a search term instead of a website?
You have other options. You can use the separate search box. You can use smart keywords to only trigger searches when you want.
