Doesn't support uBlock Origin. Unless there's a secret version around somewhere, but the version on the MS store just says "This app does not work on your device." Right now I'm weighing the positives/negatives of switching to Samsung Internet Browser by Samsung and the separate ABP for Samsung Internet Browser app. Advantage: New tab page is actually usable. Disadvantages: Having to use ABP with no ability to add custom filters and no "I Don't Care About Cookies" addon to make up for the inability to block those through ABP. I think I might just have to make a html file with the pages I frequent and see if I can't get Firefox to display that as new tab page.

The few pages that loaded faster in 57 now load just as fast in 56 and I kept my old functionality. The update was almost worth the annoyance.

I don't really see a point in any of the color changing stuff being reimplemented given a tiny amount of css can do that in any of the many the theming extensions.

Update went well for me. It's definitely significantly faster than previous versions. I lost a handful of extensions like Cookie Monster, Flashblock, QuickJava; luckily Request Policy and NoScript should be coming out with new versions soon. Though, uMatrix seems to be working pretty well as a temporary replacement. Overall, I think this is a really great step for Firefox.

Does anyone know of a good alternative to this or if it's even going to be possible with the switch to webextensions? It certainly looks like the dev abandoned it at this point, so I'm not holding out much hope for that one getting an update. That and SALR are the only two extensions I have left that don't have updates or good alternatives that I know of.

Probably depends on the icons/images involved. By the way, if you (or anyone else, for that matter) are interested in collaborating on some kind of SALR Lite: WebEx Edition we can absolutely get something official going to tide people over until whatever XenForo future may occur. Thanks to the work done to make it multiprocess-friendly, some stuff would be nearly as simple as a copy/paste. A lot requires more finessing, and there are some things that are quite frankly still impossible with webextensions. sidenote: last I heard content scripts still don't get "extension is shutdown you should shutdown" messages but I'd have to see if 57 actually fixed that.

The one thing I would love (personally as a mod) is this: rap sheet link again on the profile page and "custom titles" for users which is useful for keeping track of avatar/name changes for problematic users.

I just upgraded and like it a lot. Pages do seem to load faster but that might be placebo from reading the marketing. This is on a desktop with 16 gigs RAM so it never felt slow in the first place.

The "hide avatar" button is helpful too in case people have borderline nsfw titles. The search in thread is great too. Really pretty much everything in SALR is great except gesture navigation but I say that because I don't use it so I can't really judge.

Well with some userChrome.css tweaks I find 57 tolerable. I never had any speed or memory issues before, and performance seems completely identical to me. But whatever, progress I guess. I do still have a few annoyances if anyone knows a fix for.

Firefox having TreeStyle tab is like the main thing keeping me to it, though it's been good, or at least OK, to me, over the years. Out of interest to any other browsers have it? Chrome has an extension but it's a weird docking sidebar window.

Unless they're Safari, which Chrome is a fork of. The only reason Firefox still has it is because Piro has spent a ton of time working with Mozilla to get necessary features into the API.

I find it uses less CPU and perhaps less memory. Haven't stress tested it, but definitely notice the slowdowns I used to get (caused by tab state saving to disk making GBS threads itself after x amount of tabs) are gone. But one thing I have noticed, also with Chrome, is that an ad blocker will sometimes fight an ad, the ad script keeps trying to relaunch an ad when it gets blocked. This causes loads of CPU use. You can really poo poo up your browser with some unfortunate javascript, as I noticed when I tried writing some javascript.

Trip report from the GIF thread. Actually perfectly navigable. It would totally poo poo itself on the second page before, Chrome would too for me. Blocked autoplay gifvs make it no sweat of course, but even autoplay enabled is fine, although the gifvs struggle a bit with loading and playing back completely all at the same time.
