That's a suspicious defence. There's always a first time right?

They fired him because they made an AI that could do some basic maths. Am I reading that right?

What's the story behind this? It sounds interesting.

Vague statement. You have any more information or sources?

"Never been a better time"? What about when IE 6/7 was dominating and Firefox came out with add-ons and speed of updates? I'd argue that was the best time for Firefox.

Reads more like a page designed to funnel you into their product IMO

Filebot supports subtitle downloading and programs like Plex & Jellyfin work better when files are named organised according to convention.

The utility of having a well organised media library is more useful to me than the non-issues of downloading subtitles or figuring out quality.

You would probably have to run the hardlink command on the NAS through SSH or something to achieve the same effect but it should still be possible.

I second what another commenter said about hardlinks. I used to use a program (paid) called Filebot that makes this process pretty easy. You download all torrents to say G:/Downloads then drag the files into Filebot and it will search across internet media databases to match the metadata and automatically rename and hardlink the files to say G:/Movies using a format you specify.

For example: G:/Downloads/Movies/Oppenheimer.2023.BluRay.2160p.HDR.MULTi.5.1.AV1.Opus.DVD5-CAV1aR.mkv

to

G:/Movies/Oppenheimer (2023).mkv

Then you can still seed everything in G:/Downloads while having a nicely organised media library. The actual file on disk does not get deleted until all hardlinks have been deleted.

Exactly the process I went through! The golden parachutes are egregious enough, what can we call this practice of just giving them free money in perpetuity? The golden waterslide perhaps? 🤣

A lot of people have been saying this, some have been saying it lags in chrome, and some have been saying it lags in firefox. I'm interested to know what device you have and perhaps what refresh rate your display runs?

try this link instead and let me know if it works

and yes. while not in the video, I did download the beta ff version to have a seperate/clean environment to test in and the same behaviour is replicated

Why were they even paying him $1m per year in perpetuity when he doesn't even work for the company? Seems like a massive waste of the public investors money on top of a huge exploitation scandal.

No problem. Btw it's been like that for a long time so it may not be down to the device. It could be something that is only activated if you have an OLED display? I also think ReVanced can force the black theme AFAIK

I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro running Android 14, YouTube build 18.45.41 The only YouTube options for the theme are light, dark, and device.

Hopefully that helps you narrow it down.

Sorry for not clarifying. I tried to on other comments but this is also a post about Firefox Android specifically so I sometimes left that part out.

Pixel 7 Pro. I think that counts as stock YouTube as you can get (same vendor for device and application).

Could be but I don't think so in this case. It seems (based on no evidence - purely feel) that there's some kind of event listener being triggered every time the page scrolls (whether this be touch/scroll event, visible contents, etc idk) and this event listener has different optimisation or performance characteristics depending on the device and rendering engine.

Random performance issues

Menu doesn't open in landscape mode

Tab overview page not working consistently - this one is hard to capture right now but what happens is when you have a large amount of tabs open (say over 30), when you hit the tab overview button it doesn't take you to the currently open tab in the list, instead it takes you to the very top. This is not the normal behaviour. If you open and close it a few times it will randomly work properly 1/10 times.
