I’m not having, as I said before, any issues with Gecko

Good for you!

I say that as a web developer myself. Gecko has become problematic to work with. It’s not the web devs fault that Gecko is now full of odd quirks.

I used to dev for Firefox, then test on Chrome. The amount of times I was looking for a non-existent bug in my code just to realise it works fine on Chrome and it’s actually a Gecko bug not respecting a specification was a major factor in my choice to drop Firefox as my daily drive.

And the irony is that one of the best documentations for web specifications is made by Mozilla.

If your only criterium is the presence of AI, then of course it doesn’t matter.

But Firefox has been degrading far before AI was even hyped. Mozilla basically gave up on its development as they lost their market share. Full of bugs, poor implementation of new standards, terrible optimization… That’s why I switched to a Chromium based browser. Not because of AI.

Unforunately, there is no solid alternative at the moment. Firefox used to be great, but the quality of the browser has been consistently declining for years now. In terms of features, stability, and accuracy. The various forks I tested back when I couldn’t deal with Firefox’s issues any longer had the exact same issues.

At least Vivaldi is european.

Vivaldi is Chromium based

Yes. And? It is open source, and Vivaldi modifies it heavily.

You’re criticizing browsers based on “Shitty Browser A” while promoting browsers based on “Shitty Browser B”. Both categories are heavily modified and just as viable.

People need to stop being scared of Chromium-based browsers.

Exactly this. Micron ended their consumer RAM. Sansung here is just stopping producing something that is arguably outdated, and has a perfectly fine, already more available, most often cheaper or equivalent modern replacement.

In the same way that you are implementing the UI, you sometimes also need to implement the UX. Animations are part of the UX, preloading is part of the UX… That sort of things.

Problem is the e2e encryption. The bridge basically decrypts your emails and makes them locally accessible.

It is technically impossible at the moment to keep your emails end-to-end encrypted and not have to use a bridge for your client of choice. It will only be possible if your client of choice partners with Proton to integrate them, or if a standard for e2e encrypted emails pops up and both Proton and your client adopt it.

Because forking a buggy suite isn’t always the best choice? If they have the ressources, and they do, making their own is best for everyone. More choices.

Both are to be designed then developed.

What, is Gaben a “good one”? Please. He deserves the criticism as much as any other. Steam is the most unethical platform of its kind.

Just because a state self-proclaims to be socialist, doesn’t mean it is.

Why is transpilation unappealing to you?

That is not how the internet works

Obviousness? If you mass layoff your tech staff, you take the risk of more technical failures.

A smaller staff cannot do the same work as a larger one, and I guarantee you they’re being asked to progress at the same speed. So, the tradeoff is on the quality of the product and the testing, not on the speed of development.

I would say your biggest issue here is needing precise decimal point computations and using imprecise data types. Any software that requires precision in the decimals needs to use types that are made for precise decimals. No floating point error.

It is a specific virus of the herpes family, with a very fitting name

Okay that’s something I had no idea about hahaha

It’s very, very, very likely to take into accounts a bunch of data bought from all the wonderful companies that track all your habits, especially purchasing habits.
