    She had a very tough and uncompromising stance on most things, including Northern Ireland and the Troubles. Rather than seek compromise, she increased the military presence there, which many believe exacerbated and prolonged the situation.

    It is, of course, much more complex than this, but her policies regarding Northern Ireland are a large factor in why she is not remembered fondly by many Irish.



  • Note that since I don’t use Firefox some of these may actually be available, but I don’t know about them.

    • Mouse gestures.
    • A status bar that stays on screen.
    • The ability to select part of a link’s text.
    • Tab stacking.
    • Tab tiling.
    • Opening a link in either a foreground or background tab. This is available as a toggle in the settings only.
    • Ad block.
    • Spatial navigation.
    • Customisable keyboard shortcuts for pretty much everything.

    These are the ones that matter to me, there are more that I don’t personally use.



  • Ever since the first release, I’ve tried Firefox a few times. Each time I was left with a feeling of needing dozens of extensions to get it up to par with the browser I was using at the time (mainly Opera and now Vivaldi). The extensions I found were never customisable enough, and would often break and/or be abandoned after a while.

    Don’t get me wrong: Chrome, IE, Edge, and Safari are worse - each time I used them I got the urge to throw my computer out the window after just a few minutes. But Firefox is just not customisable enough to my liking, and extension are IMO not the answer.
