Uh… we are. Servo and Ladybird. It’s a shit tonne of work.

Firefox should be on that list. It's clearly a lot closer in functionality to Chrome/Chromium than Servo or Ladybird, so it's easier to switch to it. I like that Servo and Ladybird exist and are developing well, but there's no need to pretend that they're the only available alternatives.

  • And also, it's very feasible to contribute to Firefox. And through it, to Zen Browser, Librewolf, etc. as well.

  • Majority of users are on mobile now, and Firefox mobile sucks ass. I cannot bring myself to use it. Simple things like clicking the home button should take you to homepage, but Firefox opens a new tab. It's so stupid.

    • I use Firefox Mobile Nightly on Android and appreciate it for the dark mode extension and ad blocking. There are some issues but the benefits outweigh them for me.

      I don't even have a Home button that I can see, I must have turned it off in settings? I describe my tab count using scientific notation, though, so I'd be a "new tab" guy, anyway. But I'd also be a proponent of it being configurable.

    • i think it's great and syncs well with my computer's firefox. i think there should be a setting to choose how to open homepage but i don't mind the extra tabs really.
