Made a new "Tips for X" section exclusive to this forum to make life better.
I love making life better.

It's great to have such nice folks like you around here sharing some knowledge. I know that many projects don't have enough support (either proper reports to help the development or not least important donations to keep motivating the developers involved) and that's sad to see, but thanks so far to make this little piece contributing to make the web a nicer place. I hope that your other projects (life included) could be as awesome like your contributions to this community.As to the future of the project ... there is a high chance that Release 2.1 Humility will be the second to last release of foxPEP. Not only do I believe the patch has at this point in time reached its apex in effectiveness and performance, now leaving little room for improvement, I will also soon be getting less time to focus on development (contrary to my prior belief) in favor of other more promising projects, in addition to more pressing subjects (like life). Plus, no one has once sponsored (donated) the project thus far, which I'm sure you can imagine naturally decreases the incentive to keep going.
And that's to say nothing of Firefox's rapidly decreasing market share, especially since this new event happened.
I'm pretty sure that for every detractor there must be 100's if not 1000's of very satisfied users (myself included) who appreciate the time and very hard work that has gone into the project. It will indeed be a sad day when it falls by the wayside unless some other bright and dedicated person can take over the reins. Again, kudos for all associated with keeping our PPC's and Intel machines in tune, and as speedy and safe as possible.foxPEP on Reddit: Take II

EDIT: Will someone please enlighten me as to why this project can't seem to get any traction with the general public because none of these people will actually bother to witness the end result for themselves because they don't think I know what I'm doing? Because I sure as hell am missing their collective point, I'll tell you that much. It most certainly does not compromise security, or stability, and neither convenience just for a negligible performance boost. When the browser leaks the client's internal IP address by default (courtesy of WebRTC / Mozilla's evidently bad vetting processes), or allows Joe Average's website to hijack the device camera and microphone without telling anyone, and foxPEP turns those exploits OFF, how in the hell is that making it less secure, or "convenient", of all things?
I suppose then, that this heavily "marketed" effort (or rather "little set of browser settings") will simply remain obscure and exclusive to use cases of TenFourFox and the odd insane person like myself who actually knows the end result of what it does, and thus uses it on everything else as well because it WORKS. Better yet, maybe it should have been kept as PowerUOC to fulfill our little niche and simply left at that - after all, God forbid we start allowing ISPs to inject liquid malice into adspaces because we actually dared to so much as utilize the browser's built-in hosts file to its full potential!
Nerve of some people. I'd like to see these folks package something half as well with just a third of the amount of work that this took...

This is what @Raging Dufus more than likely saw, although as he said, just browse the forums in general. You'll see the high and mighty a$$hats belittle 90% of their users every day. Anyway, the reason why i quit... (which lead to me creating my own OSX and PowerPC builds for people who actually appreciate it).

PS... Sorry to hijack the thread, but i felt the need to share. Maybe it'll help you not be discouraged as much. If people use it, great. If not, so what? I read crap about how old or slow AF or Remix is all the time. Do i care? No, because 98% of the time my projects are enjoyed by the majority, and that is why it's worth it.
I used the same version and OS. It crashed in less than a minute for me.@MacFoxG4 Firefox Legacy 68.12 on Mac OS X 10.7.5 works reliably well with 2.2 on my end. What FF and OS version are you using, and for how long did you use it before it crashed?
