Some praise for Mozilla/Firefox

CCWulf — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 16:34:51 GMT

I know there are things to gripe about, and things that don't work to one's liking and so on, but... I would like to thank the team behind Firefox for the work they put in. Firefox is a damned good piece of software and I really appreciate it - thank you for it.

Recent-ish developments I particularly like:

* 'Reader mode' - thank god for this. The internet is insufferable without adblockers and this only makes it even more bearable

* Embedded PDF reading/editing - still a bit flaky, but thank you for reducing further the need to have any Adobe product on my machine. Right now I only keep Acrobat around for the dreaded 'signatures'.

Thanks @CCWulf! You'll be happy to know we are working on support for signatures: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/signature-on-pdf-documents-using-an-image-of-my-signature/idc-p/38311/highlight/true#M22228.

I'd like to tag onto this thread:

I just tried the new PDF editing feature. That works great. I tried the "drawing" mode. That is MUCH better than Adobe's own capability, which is awful. (I have full Acrobat.)

I do agree with another thread that suggested you clarify that your "editing" is more like Comment and Notation. We are not actually changing what the PDF already contains... which is a powerful feature of Acrobat.
