I have yet to see any realistic alternative to Thunderbird. Most other local clients are so bloated I might as well just go to the gmail web panel. Thunderbird is the most lightweight email client that I can see. Too bad it has been abandoned.
Claws Mail is quite a good email client and it's not bloated for a GUI client.
BTW, Thunderbird is currently neglected by Mozilla, but it's certainly not abandoned. It's still getting regular updates.
Free speech dies when social justice is "enforced".
So you think that Teresa May and the Conservatives are concerned with enforcing "social justice"? Then again, maybe you're so far to the right of her that it feels that way.
Isn't 16.04 going to be an LTS release? It's going to be released next month, so they could have waited. Still, I suppose 14.04 is tried and tested, seeing that it's been our for coming up to two years.
Funnily enough, I typed that reply with Pale Moon. I've been trying it out for the last two weeks and am fairly impressed with it. Still, I'll probably go back to using Firefox as my main browser, but Vivaldi and Pale Moon are there if I do choose to move away.
I'm finding the direction that Firefox is taking is trying my patience, and as a long time user of Firefox since its Phoenix days, there might come a day when I say bye. Vivaldi and Pale Moon might well make that bye easier.
Firefox is a browser that shits in my mouth and makes me swallow, even when I've told them repeatedly I don't want to do that.
Seems like your Firefox has picked up some malware during your visits to the nether regions of the Internet.;)
As for Vivaldi, I'm one who regularly tries it out (it's one of my secondary browsers). I wouldn't go as far as you about Vivaldi's quality, and I certainly don't believe it "shits" on Firefox (at least not to that extent), but I do think it's improved since every snapshot and is on the verge of being a serious contender. I like it and hope it offers a choice away from browsers that are aimed away from the power user.
They're really not. Anyone who pays the owner money can advertise whatever they want.
If you can show some credible evidence that they don't follow their own guidelines for what's an acceptable ad, which seemingly restricts what advertisers can push out, then "advertise whatever they want" is a bit sweeping.
I'm in two minds about the Acceptable Ads feature in Adblockplus. On the one hand, it's giving in somewhat to advertisers, but on the other hand, it's arguable that it encourages/pushes advertisers to limit their excesses, which is itself a good thing. I use Adlbockplus myself, but I do turn off the Acceptable Ads feature (personally got fed up with the excesses of the advertisers over the years, so decided to burn all their houses). Still, as long as I can disable the feature, and Adblockplus still blocks ads, then I'm fine with it as an interesting compromise (for others to try out;) ).
I'm not the one comparing tabs to tiles within tabs, as if their usefulness is comparable by any reasonable margin, hence your hyperbole. Yeah, I know, you can ultimately do without both, so they can be comparable in that regard, but the impact of both isn't the same by a long shot. Bit of a false comparison you pulled there.
Tiles are useful for some, but they can be superfluous for others. We're all different, and I don't begrudge the inclusion of tiles in Firefox if there's an option to disable them (as long as they're not a means to advertise). I can see their use for some types of user, but I can also do without them for my type of use.
Still, whether one's in touch or out of touch, tiles are hardly what one could reasonably call a major feature. A useful feature, an additional one, but hardly the end of the world if not included.
Ever since Opera invented speed dial years and years ago, it has become an indispensable part of the browsing experience. So much so that the other browser makers copied it. You might not use it, but it is a major feature that most users want.
I can see it being something that helps others and that they could well want, but then there are many minor things that help others and that they may also want, but aren't major if not there. I have no problem with the inclusion of tiles in Firefox (not adverts, though), but I'd hardly see it as a major issue if they were removed. Such things like the URL bar is major functionality; tab tiles is additional functionality. Suggesting that tab tiles is major functionality is verging on hyperbole.
So you have to cut out a major piece of browser functionality to remove the ads. Bravo.
Hardly major. In fact, I personally find the silly boxes a hindrance rather than a help. Still, yeah, for others it might be beneficial to have your most visited sites there for you in pictorial form on a new tab, but I'd hardly call it major functionality.
It feels "less quirky" than Seamonkey, and some of the Extensions that I have used for years ( Like Tree Style Tab) work with PaleMoon while they don't in Seamonkey.
You can get a few of the problematic extensions to install and work on SeaMonkey using the Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey. Not all of the Firefox and Thunderbird extensions can be converted, but it certainly expands the frontiers.
It's a pity that I completely uninstalled Opera some months ago, after waiting several months with vague promises and excuses about a coming release. It was mostly a secondary browser for me, so I didn't lose much sleep purging it. It also has lost a lot of the features that enticed me in the first place.
Now that it's finally here, I'm not sure I can muster up the effort to install it. Maybe I'll wait a year... or maybe longer.
But then if the authorities didn't listen to him and his kind, then they'd soon find that they'd have to listen to some other scarier people with growing support. Damage limitation, etc.
"I would say 99 percent of teachers see the benefit of it,"
Not damning the point that the Supt. of Holyoke Public Schools made or supporting it, but I tend to distrust anyone who claims that 99% of a group supports their side to bolster their argument. I know, figure of speech, but still indicative... at least 99% of the time.

Have you got Ublock Origin and set Dynamic Filtering on (Advanced User setting on), then blocked consensu.org? ;)
While each time XFCE is used, a mouse is slaughtered. Poor mice.
Saying that, my Linux install regularly kills mice.

Again and again and again and again and again and...
On Android, I use Ghost Commander. It's quite like one of my favourites when running Linux: Midnight Commander. It's open source and free, too.
O Lucky Man!
More like an Exocet.

Anyway, moving on.
Again, you're in hyperbole mode. Your idea about what constitutes major is a bit wide of the mark.

I have no problem with the inclusion of tiles in Firefox (not adverts, though), but I'd hardly see it as a major issue if they were removed.

Try out Flash Control, which does block both Flash and HTML5 videos, and not just on YouTube.

I think they're trying to frack with you.

Well, let's hope that society remains as vigilant.
