Really excited about the new PDF editing features!

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At this point I'd be happy for people to understand what pdfs are and stop sending them on the emails with signatures that say "to open the file download adobe acrobat reader"... Like I received the other day.

-"Can you send me the vector artwork for this logo, not just a png?"

-"Sure, here you go."

It's the exact same png, just embedded in a pdf

At least cheating like this is still an svg.

Nostalgia to the 90s...:)

Yes! This one is the big feature for me. PDFs are always a pain to sign.

On Linux I've been using Xournal which does the job pretty well, but I'm really looking forward to try it on Firefox!

When I saw that my reaction was "Why is firefox including a pdf editor?", curious if a lot of people will use it

If you're running Linux, you'd understand why so many people are excited about that one feature. I sure am very excited. PDF editors on Linux (as far as I know) suck on Linux.

Same for windows!

[–] Petri3136@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Pdfs are about the only thing left I can think of that are better on windows now

[–] flamingmongoose@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I guess I don't edit pdfs very often except latex?

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

Oh damn this is a huge release. The last couple of updates have been pretty small on the user end but it looks like a ton of features finally were ready for release this time. They're even releasing some of their fingerprint resistance features as enabled by default which is really cool.

Coolest feature:

DNS over HTTPS + encrypted keys for concealing web addresses from my ISP? Neat! That plus my VPN and I'm feeling really obfuscated.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Unless of course websites don't implent it...

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I still don't get how I'd make it work with my pihole

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago

But JXL when

[–] Gargari@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

That's a lot of new features

If Firefox 119 was so great, why isnt there a 120???

WHAT!?!?! why the fuck would anyone use chrome at this point?

[–] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah? So if Firefox 120 was so great, why isnt there a 121???
