I am not sure if that'll be the case. The Multi Account Container ( https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers ) seems like it's dead. No new commits since end of March and according to https:/&#

F# got mentioned already but I would like to add another vote to it. C# is the first choice for most people when building desktop apps for Windows but F# works exceptionally well too. There is a small but robust community and there are a to

There isn't a single link to a commit, file or repo that shows the similarities between the two code bases, let alone alleged plagiarism. It is conceivable that they truly are two different projects that happen to be developed around t

Flickr doesn't really do videos though. Yea, you can upload them but playback is limited to just 3 minutes and it doesn't really have tools to work with videos.

I looked a while ago to find alternatives when some of these issues came up a while ago but I haven't found any other viable alternatives. I thought PeaZip might be a good option until finding out that it is also based on 7-Zip. The on
