It impacts Firefox as well

Already, I see a lot of stigma around cryptocurrency. I don't know if it'll ever take off thanks to stuff like NFTs ruining it.

Yeah I would trust them. But I don't think I would use them because I just find their mail service to have too much friction in a lack of interoperability with clients unless you not only pay money, but also download a whole extra program just to decrypt your email. It's essentially a walled garden

Numbers 2 and 3 act like these are things that you can easily just stop

but firefox needs users to keep google from having complete control over the web.

Okay, but then what does that make Apple with Safari powered by WebKit (and it's mandated use on iOS)? In addition to the few and between browsers that make use of it like GNOME Web.

That's good, isn't it?

It is, but it's also not for everyone

Also, I strongly don't expect everyday users to use package managers. And personally, I like having notifications in the app whenever it's time to update so I can take action right there.

We literally just want passkeys and native PWA's (add-ons do not count), and an interface optimized for Android tablets. And I refuse to use Firefox again until these things are added.

This is incredibly out of scope for a browser feature set.

Librewolf isn't just a debloated version of Firefox. It's built with a completely different goal of being extra locked down for privacy. More so than the defaults of Firefox. Also, it doesn't even include auto update functionality unless you're using a package manager.

Definitely a mood

I'm honestly wondering since study seem to primarily include Android users. It seems like the only main statistics they showed about notifications was for the most popular ones (including about eight specifically). It feels strongly plausible that 5,000 notifications a day could be coming from eight different apps.

Also, given how a lot of Android notifications are used for things like background updates, or also things like media controls (which are technically treated as notifications). This would also add a bit of plausibility to that metric. Especially in the case of a more digitally savvy user.

I really think that on the list of worst single points of failure, DNS is not one of them. Given how easy it is to actually switch. And given that cloudflare outages are not nearly as common, The times they do happen usually are only for half an hour or so.

This has the same energy that my little pony friendship is magic episode where The cutie mark crusaders start writing gossip about everyone in ponyville. And everyone just stops talking to them after finding out It's them
