I guess I'm back in the market for a feedreader because #$%# Firefox keeps breaking[1][2] my (awesome) feedreader extension[3]. First they moved me off regular Firefox to Nightly because my (entirely private, self-developed) extension is unsigned. Now it's stopped working even on Nightly. And part of me is like why bother fixing it because they're just going to move the goalposts again like they did going from XUL to Jetpack to cfx to jpm... Already I hear they're moving to something called WebExtensions, which of course won't work for all possible situations so we might still have to stick with the old SDK, but the old SDK is deprecated... I get tired just thinking about it.

Ack, how did this turn into a rant? Tl;dr - I get cranky when I haven't been able to get to my feeds for a few days.

Mozilla being busy about taking away the rest of the reasons why we have used FF. :-/

It was never about privacy in my case, it was about a better browser for work, reading and research.
