  • I would love to have Android software on an Apple device. Their hardware is incredible!

    Ultimately, I tolerate Android from a privacy standpoint because we're still able to fully modify our devices and use open-source app sources. The minute that goes away (and it feels like Google isn't as tolerant of it anymore), I go.

  • "Windows" + "." brings up symbols, and at the very top were em dashes. I've been using that since it was added.

    On my Linux laptop, I confess to manually Googling them every time.

  • In a perfect world, I would have liked to see Firefox build what is now the Proton suite of apps.

    I would still like to see Proton fork Firefox and operate their own browser once they've matured further.

  • You can, but ultimately Brave is downstream of Chrome and their stated intention of supporting Manifest V2 "for as long as [they're] able" doesn't inspire as much confidence.

    Firefox is also the only open alternative to Chromium at the moment, so I prefer to endorse it instead.

  • I imagine their VPN service is financially viable if they've still stuck with it this long.

    Aside from that, they've just about cut all other initiatives aside from "Firefox and AI". The latter gives me pause, but hopefully they really are more focused moving forward.

    I think Mozilla has done alright, but I agree the folks is in charge of their business direction and especially PR are abysmal. Personally, I wish a company like Proton was at the helm.
