isn't it mostly because of their overly addictive recommendation algorithms? taking away infinite scrolling would also help a lot to make it more healthy.

I know people, 40+ in age, who just want to see some fun videos in their work breaks, when nobody's around to talk with

much easier than C/C++. no more random bugs that make no sense and basically untraceable segfault crashes

true, but at least they have been working on modularizing it for a few years, and making it so that even unsupported message types can be displayed to some level

bad changes aren't really happening in the renderer, are they?

i switched to chrome when I was too young to understand anything, and I'm not even sure if it was better for any extent. have switched back 5+ years ago

And no, FOSS doesn't need money behind it. FOSS needs a dedicated community behind it

how do you imagine a Linux-sized community getting built around firefox in a few days? and even that is a bad example, because a lot of linux devs are paid by their employer from a company anywhere on the world

when you ask them, don't only mention ublock, but the privacy aspects of only allowing the browser of the largest data collection fueled ad company

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

blocked? that sounds weird, can you give a few examples?

I don't know what exactly speed dialsare in opera, but firefox's homepage can show website tiles in multiple rows

if that helps, switching browsers is a lot easier than switching your OS. the automatic import brings over most of your data (bookmarks, passwords, history, ...), and you only need to handle the addons, if you had any, and the browser settings if you need anything from there
