How is this supposed to actually make them money? Remember, third party apps died for their profit incentives.

That's going to cause so many lawsuits. Also wonder since the WAG strike finally finished and are creating a contract, if this will affect it?

This is great news. It's their way if encouraging you to swap instances! You shouldn't stay on the main popular instance, it defeats the entire point of decentralization.

The maturity of decentralized communication cannot come soon enough

It is a hard problem, for all the reasons I listed lol. Alphabetical order would be a terrible idea, browsers would be punished because of their name. Randomized order would be better. Obviously Firefox would be there, that doesn't even need to be stated. This isn't easily solved, and we do not have browser neutrality or anything close to it in any form or platform. How does your solution help against the blink monopoly that is killing the internet?

These are things you need to figure out, there's no "no need to make it harder problem than it is" when it comes to designing these very important things. That's just how you have straight up bad design that isn't thought out.

If you want to compare to how app stores do it, which are still no neutral at all, they still are constantly changing. Mobile app stores recently got the privacy nutrition label, some desktop ones have the same for security. Install base is going to skew numbers. Imagine putting Palemoon as an option and not giving massive security warnings all over the product page. Should there even be a product page for just one selection screen?

Qogir Theme with square buttons option. I frequently swap between XFCE and Gnome, and it works very nicely on both. I like the big square window buttons, like how windows does it, because it makes it easier to click rather then a small circle like most themes. Also I just like the look better.

Yeah, it really makes human contact more valuable at the end of the day. That was a good point coming from the verified real Margot Robbie!

One triggers trauma and the other you do in video games on the regular

Also the voting is so weird in your conversation, they were being considerate in censoring the word and was downvoted for saying why? Bandwagon voting is so weird, makes me wonder if they read the comment or just look at the numbers.

What determines a popular browser?

Would smaller browsers like LibreWolf make the cut? What is the prerequisite? Should every small fork of a few dozen users be shown?

Should security patch speed and security defense be shown? What about number if CVE's

Which order are they shown in?

Do they have descriptions, and how do you accurately describe the difference in web browsers in a short description?

Should Firefox mention they're the only non-Chromium browser engine, and should it be grouped by browser engines instead?

Is it really diverse if they're all just Chromium skins?

If Firefox is going to be buried at the bottom of the list, is that really as fair as the first one in the list?

What about if they unfairly resize their Edge browser as half the screen and preselect it as a default, while making the alternatives smaller and harder to see at a glance for people that just want to go quickly through the options.

How do you accurately describe what the browser defines "private" as?

At what point is the user too informed or too little informed? You don't want to information overload.

This is why it's more complicated then just "show every popular browser".

It's not narrowly defined lol, you literally said Matrix so I asked about Matrix. XMPP is a protocol, so obviously I'm going to ask why you prefer one protocol over the other. It's like saying you hate the http protocol, but really you're actually talking about a specific browser, it makes no sense.

You not liking Element is an entirely different conversation. Which Matrix had a ton of full fledged clients. Element is like the Ubuntu of matrix clients.
