* Cookie improvements with ' enhanced cookie cleaning'.įollowing on from the non-global 'cookie jar per domain, not per user' improvements of recent versions of Firefox. With Firefox's new HTTPS first policy, any typed URL or bookmark will always try to connect over HTTPS/TLS first, and only then downgrade to plain http if no encryption is available. This leaves you vulnerable to MITM attacks, with a malicious actor intercepting the plaintext exchange and serving you their own certificate in reply. You would then rely on the web server at the other end to either have HSTS implemented to upgrade the connection to HTTPS, or else an extension in the user's installation to do similar (HTTPS Everywhere, HTTPS-only mode). Until now, if you typed in the URL bar or clicked a bookmark for '.uk', Firefox would initially attempt to visit the domain with plain http. Got to admit it is the first time I am seriously considering switching browser since I definitely not liking the flat withe look they going for with Proton, with minimal chance to customize the look of it now, unless you do something like the person over GithHub done but that's should not be needed really.īTW, since nobody expanded on it, outside of the usual UI complaints Firefox 91 did bring a number of very nice improvements. He do say if you want to craft your own interface to use the Chrome folder from GithHub, but it do show you how you can use the Custom JS Script and make Firefox look more or less anyway you want it, but would mean a lot of fiddling, but it's an option if still wanting to use Firefox as the base. Taming the beast ! and they have linked it to a version he has created using the Custom JS scripts, so you could end up with a very ancient looking Firefox if you so wish, where you can also see a few screenshots of that users changes. There is one user that using the Custom JS Scrip, who posted about it over at Windows TenForums, Firefox. You can read more about it here: Custom JS Scripts for Firefox 60+ and Thunderbird 68+. There are also someone that have made their own extensive rewrite of Firefox which they been working on since V60, but it might be a bit to extended rework. It is presently based on Firefox V78 ESR. I found WaterFox which is quiet like FireFox. So now it is like Firefox has a frame and what's in it is photon. I'm using something called WindowBlinds which changes the look of Win10, including Firefox, or used to before v91 when as you said, the Proton looks being forced on us and can no longer be turned off, which you could in v90.
