Funny you mention Ladybird.. It's a commendable project and I hope they succeed. But until it renders 99% of websites, plays Netflix videos, has all the modern features people expect of a web browser and is an actual viable option for non techies.. It is really proving the opposite of your point. The fact that an alpha is still years away speaks to how hard this really is.

Firefox native tab groups are coming soon!

Ah yes, you must mean the Regent.

Here's a poem you might enjoy: https://ncf.idallen.com/english.html

You may not care about financial shit, but that doesn't change the reality of the situation. My point is precisely that the financial costs are so prohibitive, that the most likely scenario is that no one will be capable of stepping up long term.

As soon as there's another spectre level security incident that requires a massive rewrite of the engine, any rendering engine developers with sub 100M budgets are sunk. Frankly 100M is probably being optimistic.

The competition bureau acts in good faith. They very much opposed the Rogers / Shaw merger. The problem is they don't have any actual power beyond making recommendations.

Cool makes sense, thanks for the reply! And yeah, I don't think I'm quite there yet.

Out of curiosity, what's the benefit of splitting those?

I've been meaning to try Caddy, but I just can't even imagine something simpler than NginxProxyManager.

And it worked just as they intended.

Not to blow the joke, but I recently learned Orcas are in the dolphin family. I always thought they were porpoises myself

I too am skeptical.

Mozilla cares a lot about performance. It is monitored obsessively and there are entire teams dedicated to squeezing out every last drop of performance. Heaven and earth would be moved for a 30% perf boost. I'm guessing either there's some very severe tradeoffs to these prefs, or setting them somehow breaks the methodology used to obtain this number.

Edit: also benchmarks can be notoriously misleading. I don't have any opinions or knowledge on basemark (the benchmark used to get this 30% number), but speedometer v3 is the most state of the art and generally agreed upon benchmark for performance these days.

That doesn't mean the 30% number is bogus.. Just that it should be followed by "...on basemark" rather than implying it's conclusive to overall performance.

He seemed mostly out of the news cycle the past four years, no? Apart from the occasional update from one of his trials.

This is the best take I've seen on the whole kerfuffle so far.

We as a species love to judge people based on their age. And it goes both ways. Us millenials will be as reviled as boomers are by the younger folks soon. And I'm sure more and more millenials like OP will make dumbass comments about those same young folks in return. It's the circle of life.

I too wish we could all judge people based on their actions rather than their age. But it'll never happen

So.. You want the default to be more tracking instead and then people need to opt in to get their privacy? 🤔

How do you fight it? Go around using it at every opportunity and have people think you're a far right sympathiser? They'll believe that before they believe you're simply passionate about symbols.

I don't think anyone is asking you to stop blocking ads. Block away!

I think the only request defenders of PPA are making, is please don't actively prevent it from making things better for everyone else.
