As someone that uses Firefox as my main browser on desktop and mobile, I am curious here - what exactly are the complaints with Firefox? I'm using 3+ year old hardware that was mid-range even when it was new and it seems to do everythi

An interesting bit to me is that it compiles to (apparently) readable C, I'm not sure how one would use that to their advantage I am not too familiar with C - is the idea that it's easier to incrementally have some parts of your c

I am asking out of curiosity and nothing else: what use cases do you have that motivate you to get a new phone every year? Do iPhones get notably better with every release? I'm guessing camera or storage would be big ones?

I'm having trouble following what exactly this means. So Jeff wanted the team to modify an existing publication to fit the PR spin on AI, the ethics team refused, and Jeff dissolved the team?

I'm not a Rust evangelist, but I'm glad that Rust evangelists exist. I decided to try it for a medium-sized (~10k LoC) performance sensitive component recently and it has been an absolute joy to use.

Very exciting to see the progress here! Is there a way to understand how many of the Web Platform Tests are for features that are "stable" (say for X years) across all major browsers? I see Chrome has a much higher number than th

It's not making an excuse on the part of Google, it's pointing out the naivety of expecting otherwise from Google. Firefox still allows uBlock origin, and even on mobile.

I don't understand the point? You can say that about anything, and that's the whole reason why it's good that alternatives exist. The clear target of this project is a k8s-like experience for people who are already familiar w
