You might want to recommend forks of Firefox too. Part of the reason Chrome/Chromium is dominant is because of its forks, and a fork of Firefox might appeal to someone more than the main browser. I use Pulse, but Waterfox is also solid from what I've heard.

Does Firefish have edit federation yet? Pleroma and Mastodon (and all the currently maintained forks) have it but Misskey and its forks seem to be slacking there.

Oh, I support Gecko. More browser engines to compete against Chromium the better. I just can't support Firefox in its current state right now. Thankfully, Pulse seems to be picking up the slack in places.

No problem! Tree Style Tabs might also do the job on base Firefox with nested tabs, but it's not as streamlined as Pulse or Edge, especially if you want to hide the tab bar (you have to edit .CSS files).

edit: okay enabling both features, moving the main side panel to the right and enable tab collapsing makes a great space-saving setup.

edit 2: now i'm using pulse as my main browser

I think the management's recent decisions, as well as the removal/lack of power-user features for those users, have moved a lot of people away from Firefox, myself included. They really need to focus on providing really good software, not get caught up in trying to chase trends or forcing services people don't want. This WIRED article does a good job explaining the issues.

I am keeping an eye on Pulse Browser, which is an experimental fork of Firefox with uBlock Origin pre-installed and some UI customisations. They've got a sidebar with "web panels" very much like Vivaldi's Panels, and they've got vertical tabs like Edge. People also seem to be posting suggestions to their discussion page on GitHub. It's early days, but if they listen and try to implement some of the suggested features to their best ability, it could be a much better Firefox than Firefox itself.

Not one-for-one, but the BBC actually wanted to put a tax on broadband bills in response to the resentment towards the TV License.

Funnily enough my friends were talking about this as well. Didn't know until afterwards.

Of course not, but it's worth pointing out :p

Apparently the X used by Twi-- er, X Corp, is from a font that X may not actually have the actual license to use.

The pink acid one fits amazingly lmao.

I've heard as much, especially on r/TrueSpotify when I still used Reddit. Lots of "where hifi/2fa".

Apple's UX isn't perfect either but the library management is a huge part of why their UX is personally better for me.
