Bought out? Firefox was never bought out by anyone. What are you talking about?

I've looked maybe a handful of times over the past couple weeks, mostly to look at /r/modcoord and /r/save3rdpartyapps. Even then, I used libreddit. Other than that, I've not visited for really any other reason.

Lemmy + Mastodon is doing a good enough job being my daily time waster. There's definitely less content here but I am but one man, it's not like I could go through all of Reddit's bot-generated daily content anyway.

After the response to the question about Christian in his awful AMA, I don't think that's even a theory. That's just the truth.

I hope they don't bend to them. Reddit fully deserves this level of overt trolling at this point.

Journey.

I don't think it works quite as well nowadays with much fewer people playing it but it was an incredible experience when it first came out. I still play it whenever I need to calm down or just having a bad day. It's truly a special game to me.

All I want is Bloodborne... I genuinely wonder if we'll get a Bloodborne remake/remaster or a PS4 emulator first

Returnal is what I was going to reply with? Seriously enjoyed it and its bizarre story

That wasn't really part of the problem. The most used browser engines are often some of the most irritating and frustrating to deal with, just look at Internet Explorer for most of its existence. Safari is an obnoxiously widely used browser because Apple enforces its use on iPhone no matter the browser you use and it has a bizarre update schedule tied to OS version. This causes many iPhones to have ancient versions of Safari.

The problem here is not that there are or were too many browser engines, it is big companies making their browser engines in anticompetitive ways.

We're "lucky" that Blink, the engine that runs all Chromium-based browsers, is currently keeping up with browser standards. For now. Who knows if Google will keep it that way or decide to change course and move away from FOSS standards.

It is dangerous to put so much stock and power into a single huge corporation like this. A large variety of innovative and competing browser engines is far healthier than one dominant engine.

They sure did! That was the main reason why I swapped to Opera from Firefox forever ago. I believe they also were the first to make the landing page where you could click regular sites that you wanted to go to as well as saving your browser session when it's closed or crashes, restoring it when you next launch.

And it was really great and innovative for its time. Presto was pressing the envelope for so long while other browser engines were happy to do the bare minimum.

It's really a shame they just moved to making their own Chromium skin but making and maintaining a Browser engine is expensive. It really is quite impressive that Firefox has lasted this long.

Good lord, this interview just solidified my decision to never return to Reddit. It seems Spez doesn't want me there anyway, despite how much time and money I've given them.

I also wish the interviewer had brought up Spez lying and mischaracterizing Christian so blatantly. Just pathetic behavior.

They just opened up after the two days were over, like how many of them planned. Not every sub agreed to stay dark indefinitely.
