Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.

Firefox’s stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech “journalist” take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to “track” users which is blocked.

Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn’t do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.

Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as “privacy friendly” and see how soon its usage stats drop.

This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.

This looks neat. It’ll be sweat it it could get

• tap gestures (double tap -> launch app)
• Use app shortcuts as icons in pins (My apps shortcut instead of play store app)
• lock desktop mode

Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.

Wow, Linaro. that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. They were the ones to optimize Android builds during the IceCreamSandwich days and just last day I was wondering if there were any third party optimization project still out there. All the best to them.

What services do you run on FreeBSD? Does using FreeBSD limit you in the number of apps you can have, as most of them target Linux?

That’s just wild. I always heard oxygen deprivation leads to brain damage and stuff?

Between 30-180 seconds of oxygen deprivation, you may lose consciousness. At the one-minute mark, brain cells begin dying. At three minutes, neurons suffer more extensive damage, and lasting brain damage becomes more likely. At five minutes, death becomes imminent

These articles are very easy to write and you can see how emotional people get. You don’t need proof and it always works.

Everytime there’s an article about what “China/Russia/India/North Korea/or Whatever Says”, social media goes:

haha, so fake!

fake news

imagine believing this

propaganda bs

where’s the proof?

we only believe in hard facts

no credibility

chinese/russian bots brigading lmao

astroturfing

And then whenever there is “US Says”

so true

I know someone who knows someone who was doing this

I had a gut feeling about this

The boogeyman is real

They’re stealing our tech

They’re coming for us

We have to renounce them

They’re destroying our economy

Enemy #1

They’re ruining our western values

US is numba 1

NO FUCKING PROOF REQUIRED!! Anyone questions?

why would they release the evidence, it’s classified

I mean fuck all authoritarian regimes, but it’s funny to see how social media (especially in US) reacts to these articles and riles them up. Also great for election season.

Standard hypocrisy from propaganda rotted brains at work

I’m still with Picasa photo viewer. I know this is more than a viewer, but is there anything comparable to simple viewer of picasa. Last time I checked was few years ago.
