I hope Brave deletes this from Chromium if it's present in the source code.

It's useful, but it's a meaningless feature. We've been asking for a good JS and HTML engine, faster than what Firefox uses, and for better compatibility with websites (there are webs that don't work properly with Firefo

So... Nothing really useful or what users are asking for a long time... And we then ask why people aren't using Firefox...

For now, there isn't an alternative. Maybe a Pixel phone and GrapheneOS with the sandboxed Play Store would be the only choice, but for now, nobody knows.

The day people stop inventing stuff like that and they put the same effort in do really good, quality code... That day, we might start having decent software and not Electron or React apps everywhere... God bless old times when programmers

The only thing Mozilla has right now better than Chrome is that the APIs needed for uBlock Origin to work as intented exist.

I think exactly the same. It's always the same play. I guess they don't want to listen to things they need to pour money into.

Read the comments from Lio and skywal_l, both replies to your comment <- that's what I mean.

So... Here's an idea: stop wasting time and money on things like that, listen to the community, hire engineers, and make a browser that can be at the same level as Chrome. We already told you what we want and need, no need to keep aski

Mozilla has already millions of dollars than can be put into Firefox's development instead of the business they're getting into. It doesn't need even more money, it just needs to put part of it into engineers who would make F

I hope they use the money to improve all the issues people have arised over the years. It can be a really good platform, if they're open to change. Otherwise, it might be dead in the future.

No faith on a piece of software of the author of the now abandoned Pixelfed, a software that is not finished and still very buggy.

It's not. Open Source has its own definition. You can define however you want, but it's not Open Source. What you mean is "source available".

React is a web framework. You can put Native behind React, it'll never be.

by captainepoch 2y ago
For the love of God, stop putting "Native" in web frameworks. No, React will never be native.
