If I’m not mistaken then Chrome enabled Site isolation in 2019 and Firefox in 2021[1].

MV3 itself is controversial[2] as it unfairly targets extensions that block ad - a major source of revenue for Alphabet.

Alphabet has all the money in the world to make a browser as secure and as privacy friendly as possible. Their focus is only on “secure browser” part.

Mozilla lacks of funding (in compare to Alphabet), but still mostly outdo Alphabet on the “privacy” aspect of browser. And, they play catching up game on security aspect of browser.

Using Firefox since v1.0.2 and no plan to switch to any other browser.

All concerns that people have about Mozilla/Firefox, can be solved by tweaking preferences in about:config; nothing is hard-locked by Firefox developers.

While I do know the general concerns about AI and telemetry use in Firefox, but can you shed some light on Security issue? Thanks.

I can also concur this (“salary is not shared upfront”) varies from country to country.

I’m using Voyger iOS client on my phone, so decided to self host the same web app on my homelab.

Split screen mode is useful for me on desktop.

Is it me or this app has issues with smooth scrolling?

But how much is anyone forced to use snaps

Both Firefox and Thunderbird are installed as Snap package. And, you have to fiddle with repo settings a bit to give Mozilla repo a higher priority to install deb packages.

How it gets into the system at the first place?

NextCloud - Self hosted personal cloud solution that you can run on Docker or bare metal.

This is the most likely reason why all of sudden there is an uptick in attempt to embed malware in AUR build scripts.

But, if you are lazy like me then https://distrosea.com/

Flatpak does have a concept of Verified Publisher. Many distros ship flatpak app store with default filter set to Verified Publisher only.

This can be caused by a faulty RAM. If possible, run memtest from boot screen.

Personally I’m waiting for the day it comes out of “under active development” state so that I can migrate from NextCloud to it.

Set dom.webgpu.enabled to false in about:config

My bad, I meant “known major issues”. If minor issues are not fixed, they document it on release note. But, at no point any fixed release distro ever released breaking changes “knowingly”.

Are you familiar with the term “Regression testing”?

Bugs are of two types - known (found during testing by Distro maintainer) and unknown.

Fixed release fixes known bugs before pushing packages.

It is following the standard development life cycle.

Wayland or X11?
