I was curious if they optimized the download. Did it download the 'optimized' ~150 GB and wasting a lot of time there or did it download the ~20 GB unique data and duplicated as part of the installation. I still don't know bu

It is apparently also hard to maintain over time. I heavily customized my Firefox and Thunderbird and it is annoying how often GUI components which should be equal (e.g. toolbar buttons in different places) look the same* but have multiple

Don't know what exactly PostCSS is but with a JavaScript addon it would probably be wiser to inject the custom css directly into the shadow dom instance if possible and avoiding such hacks. Also, by the way, when JavaScript addons get

(A)PNG supports semi-transparency. In GIF a pixel is either full transparent or full opaque. Also while true color gifs seem to be possible it is usually limited to 256 colors per image. For those reasons alone APNG is much better than GIF.
