       this language of "celebrating" and "voices" and "bullshit" will give me heart troubles at some point.the destruction of firefox is a long running operation of psyops and technical sabotage.

       @bonifartius The marketing is silly but I don't mind the skinning. I just wish Mozilla would stop introducing and then canceling new projects all the time. I used some of them (like their cloud file hosting) but now I'm so sure they'll cancel it that I don't bother to entertain any new efforts. "Colorways" are fine. I even play around with them. But I'm sure they'll be gone in a few iterations. That bothers me more than the marketing.

       @dimi imho firefox is a dumpster fire ever since they did the new UI in 2018 (iirc). they should have concentrated on the engine and improving it with the rust stuff they had going, they chose destroying a totally functional UI, virtue signalling and buying bullshit stuff like pocket.

       @daeyoung @dimi idk, we brought this upon ourselves. people adopted google shit after google shit until it was too late. i use FF now, but it really isn't the browser which is good. it's stuff like tree style tab - which worked much better under the old ui. it's a shame that vivaldi is closed source, the usability features are pretty nice.i think my biggest disappointment is that the old opera engine never was open sourced. that would have been pretty great. the same for the edge engine they now switched out for blink. imagine how the landscape would be if there were four feature rich open sourced/free software engine families now instead of two.it really is a sad story.
