Pretty much this. We had this multiple times already with different tech. For example “bezelless” phones were desired for years and they kept and kept making them smaller, at some point some manufacturers really forced it in premium models and then some time later it suddenly became pretty much standard.

I updated my Firefox today in the afternoon and afterwards it didn’t connect.

No. The update process can be a tad bit slow sometimes, but the as actual usage etc. is very fine.

Epic Games on the other hand I had countless times of installing or just starting where it would just ramp up system resources and wouldn’t get going.

I hope they keep them at least in parallel. I’m so much faster usually when doing self-checkout, because I often only buy a few items and can just skip the line.

I’d say it’s 50/50… actually 33/33/33.

First, in 2026 I think you need to fuck up pretty bad or use very special stuff in order for your website to only work on Chrome.

But of course Mozilla should behave just like every other browser (well there is basically only chromium right now) and all browsers in general should display websites in the same way. Back in the day you did choose which browser to support when you developed your website, but today you are basically just using browser standards.

Then… there is Google. They are blowing up and poisoning the web standards so much, for their own good and just to bring technology forward. They surely could be more careful and considerate while doing this, so that Mozilla would have a chance to participate.

I had some websites which didn’t work in some way. Can’t remember, which websites it were, just some big company websites where random buttons would just do nothing or similar. But I think it were only 2 or 3.

Other than that it’s fine. Sometimes it seems like tab management is a bit weird, I once had the browser open with about 100 new tabs besides the other ones I had saved. Just had to close them and done. On my Work-Laptop I have a folder pinned in one space and the popup for it’s contents is shifted down ~200px permanently for some reason. It’s all manageable.

Giving Chrome a go? Why would I? Zen has everything I need, plus Chrome does not have an ad-blocker. I also sometimes need WebUSB and such things, but well, then I’ll use chrome once for that and be done with it.

Ah, thank god I am using Zen (Firefox fork) now for 2 years already. I totally forgot about this manifest bs. Now that Chrome introduced vertical tabs I was thinking to myself “ah, I could give it a try, having less breaking things and so on”. But thanks for this reminder I will gladly stay with Zen.

What about buying a used framework?

Can we have that in Germany too?

I could also say “and all forks of chromium die, if it dies”.

I don’t see Firefox dieing any time soon. And the more people use and support Firefox or any fork, the lower the chance of it actually happening.

I mean, he is the main person working on the project, yeah. But someone has to take the lead. When I followed the project at the start, there were many people involved with new features and I also don’t have much negative to say about Zen, for me it works fine.

I in turn wouldn’t call a project with 221 contributors a 1 man project :D

Just use Firefox (or Zen Browser, which is a nice fork of Firefox)

Because they only are doing the minimum needed changes to align with the law. Other countries don’t have the law, so they don’t do it there. Same game as with Apple.

Do you have any source for this? EVs have so much fewer parts which need maintenance or could reasonably have to be replaced. Also batteries these days are gonna last for a long time judging from what I’ve seen.

I see some of the pain points from the original commentator, but it’s partially an unequal comparison, because many people compare used ICE cars to new EVs. But your comment is stating it like it’s snake oil.

Aaaaah… If they were just so restrictive on gun laws… insert image of utopian healthy world here

Just watched these two videos 6 hours ago hahaha, without knowing him or the article or the post.

If only gimp wasn’t garbage… Tbh I’m also kinda wondering how Affinity did pull off the move they made with their 3 programs turning into one, at the same time redoing so much of it.am And why foss can’t do it.

Of course there’s money and closed source is probably messier in a lot of places than foss is (or at least targets to be), but is that it?

Raycast, HazeOver, Nightfall, Amphetamine, Yabai, Glide, AltTab, AlDente, MonitorControl, LinearMouse come to my mind right now. Probably forgot a few.
