" I want to make sure the community's voice is represented in these discussions."

Then KILL ALL The stupid non-browser functions.

Remove ALL AI code.

Make Firefox work.
Fix printing,

Make it follow system GUI / theme.

Stop copying Chrome or Wiindows.

@firefoxwebdevs
Unfortunately nothing by mozilla is now trustworthy.

Just make a browser that is reliable, follows system theme / uI, has tabs attached to pages and doesn't make plug-ins obsolete. Even PDF should be OFF by default.

It's been getting more broken every year.

Forget integrating translations and AI.

In contrast, Hegseth has ordered criminal acts. As has RFK jr, Vance and Trump. Others too.
The entire top tier of Trump administration should tried, after closure of the Supreme Court of USA, which is now not fit for purpose.

"many of the redirect services also offer useful usage stats - I used to use bit.ly for this reason"

Which is a malicious privacy violation if it's not your own site. Possibly even illegal in the EU.
If it is your own site then the data harvesting URL shorteners are not needed. A parameter on the URL works.

Also the user has no idea where a URL shortener is taking them. There is no justification at all for these evil data harvesting services.

@yvan @sundogplanets
URL shorteners are evil because they hide the destination. Such links are now forbidden on many forums. I think invented for Twitter when it was stupidly only SMS size messages.

I always preview a QR code and never go to shortened links.

"Make sure that your QR code reader is one that lets you look at the URL first, not one that just loads up automatically. Then you can see that the website being loaded is the one that you are expecting. People have been known to paste fake QR codes over real ones in public places"

This can't be emphasised too much.

I disabled the included code reader on my Android phone.
Some 3rd party Android coder reader apps on Playstore have had spyware or malware.
