I don't get the hate in the comments. there is plenty to complain with firefox but adding the pdf features is not one of them.

Much of Lemmy believes that if a person or entity does one bad thing, then the person or entity itself is bad. Of course taken to the logical conclusion this means that we would all have to live in caves to be moral. But each of those lemmy users has their own set of mental gymnastics for why their chosen set of conveniences is justified.

I've been using Firefox for a while now. I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't understand why people hate it so much.

Firefox is obviously way worse than supporting the unholy amount of data harvesting being done by billionaires enabling them to control even more of our lives... Right?

Damn, I used to think Firefox was at least slightly less secure than Chrome and other browsers. But after learning more about data collection, I’m going to start using Brave instead. This capitalist world is crazy—many Android apps contain trackers and collect far more data than they need. It feels like nothing is truly safe because every option has its own problems. It’s frustrating that companies such as Google collect and profit from people’s personal data. Their greed seems endless: they always want more users and more data to monetize.

Brave is literally a crypto scam ran by a bigot that replaces publishers ads with its own, WHY would you use it 😭

If you think Firefox collects too much data about you. Which I doubt. You can go with any privacy focused Firefox fork such as libre wolf. Why would you go to a chrome based browser?

Some people say Brave is almost on the same level as Firefox for blocking ads, but others don't like it because it's too similar to Chrome. I'm still not sure which browser to use, so I'll check F-Droid for a more secure option

In case any Mac users are unaware, any Mac with OS post 2007 can do this natively with Preview. It’s very handy.

You can do a bit with it. View PDFs, enter info in fields, mark things up, draw basic images, compose images into others, sign documents, etc.

I keep a copy of my signature in preview for work. Love it.

It does almost everything people need Adobe Acrobat for, and also you can make some minor adjustments to photos like cropping, and convert between formats.

YSK, PDF files can harbor significant risks, this has been ongoing for years, vulnerabilities crop up and they get patched. More crop up, meaning who knows what is currently unpatched?

While this is certainly neat, I can also highly recommend PDF Arranger. I've been using it forever and it can do all types of PDF stitching.
