Oh, we use all kinds of slurrs for that. Actually, to avoid slurs you can say “guau”, which sounds like “wow”.

Well, that’s you. I’m not having, as I said before, any issues with Gecko, I do have many with Google and any monopoly.

Is it still kicking? Wow, never thought I’d come back to Dillo, Midori, Epyphany (GNOME Web) and links.

/u/Nora is right. There was a short period when Yahoo! made a better offer to be the default search engine a long time ago, but Google was already there and came back to Firefox swiftly.

Sounds very useful, BTW.

This hurts, too soon (awesome work).

People keep saying that, but I don’t think there are noticeable differences in performance between both engines. Gecko is competitive, the problem, I think, comes from the web developers not bothering to optimize or test under Gecko anymore.

Wow, that carbon footprint. You must be proud.

It’s not needed. Nobody is looking for AI powered shit and they will feel it in their numbers. Why invest the pennies Mozilla can invest in a technology that big monsters are developing with billions and billions of dollars and natural resources? It’s not even reasonable, like a Pocket 2.0.

Better to “send keystrokes” to Google.

There are Firefox forks to circumvent AI. But even if there weren’t, I’d be using GNOME Web before bending to Google’s Chromium. If Vivaldi Chromium promises no AI, and LibreWolf Firefox promised the same, why on Earth would I go to Google’s camp?

Those are blatantly not people, they aren’t even human.

Specially, nobody needs more Chromium based browsers.

Gaaaaaaaahhhhh, please make it stop!

I’d bet it’s a data issue, not related to the apps themselves. I use a lot of public transport and contribute to OSM as much as I can, but contributing routes really recquires a special kind of commitment, one that likely needs to be paid for, so you can sit the whole routes with your GPS from begin to end. Specially in big cities where routes can take more than an hour, and there are so many.

For real? No, I think I can form an opinion with just these xenophobic comments.

I was curious and done with the malware. Living in a very small city in some third world country where the internet was only for some government offices, higher social classes, universities and one or two cyber cafes, grabbing a Linux CD was a daunting task. I got a set of RedHat CDs but couldn’t make it boot in my own PC (a Compaq).

Life got me living in Mexico City to get my BS and suddenly I got many more options to try this Linux thing. Mandrake was now the go-to distro for beginners, since Ubuntu was not a name yet. Installed the Linux, loved it. After discovering the DE variety, I distrohopped for years. It was easier for me to download a Live CD somewhere, often at my University, than changing DE in my offline PC. At that time Mandrake became Mandriva, and I distrohopped between Zenwalk, Slackware, Fedora Core, Dreamlimux (lesser known Debian-based Brazilian distro), then got Ubuntu CDs by mail (they used to send them for free, and even included stickers!), and I settled there until Unity.

I once took a photograph of a pack of batteries that stated the warranty didn’t cover sudden battery discharges due to acts of God, or something like that.

What’s wrong with being a Russian? Why even censor yourself to not write “Russians”?
