Behavioural change Mozilla's new proprietary MozLZ4 session store format (instead of plain text) is pure trash and irrational. (gist.github.com)

Plain text is superior because any text editor allows reading it.

Also, even if they really wanted to use this unnecessary compression, they should have used standard LZ4 instead of proprietary dipshit.

Whoever had that MozLZ4 idea must be a big idiot.

Indeed they do, presumably (if they cyberstalk).

But end users deserve better.

Definitely, the culture of delivering a crap product but making it look shiny with fancy marketing needs to end

About this sub

What used to be a rarity in the golden age, has grown into a serious dread of users.

Useful features have been removed from newer versions of software (e.g. browsers, operating systems, websites) or successors of electronic devices such as mobile phones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S6)?

A highly demanded feature of a product, software, etc. has still not been implemented?

There is a behavioural change in a newer version (e g. Firefox MozLZ4 instead of plain text) that just makes things worse?

Don't you despise the removal of good and useful features?

We know that ugly feeling too well.

Share your grievances here. Get it off your chest!

Including:

Behavioural changes
Useful features removed a long time ago (e.g. replaceable batteries in mobile phones)
Microfrustrations: Repetitive subconsciously annoying behaviours such as these.
Shallow marketing (frankly stupid) excuses for removing functionality, such as “Courage”.

Tips:

Unvisited links appear in green, visited links appear as grey.
Also share features you think the entity should have implemented a long time ago already (e.g. water resistance on the iPhone 6s.)
You may share past bad experiences you had because of removed or missing features (e.g. in 2014, you could not record an important event in 2160p, because your iPhone 6 could only record in 1080p).
