#Firefox we need to talk,
or #DevsOfMastodon what are your issues with Firefox?
I really like Firefox(#GUX, #GUI, workflows etc), and I’ve always agreed that we need an independent #browser alternative to #Chromium, but I didnt think it was this bad: https://youtu.be/mmjUlFIaNLE?t=136
Sure take that video with a grain of salt, but I think he has a point.
@firefox@lemmy.world @firefox@lemmy.ml I really hope @firefoxnightly can finally start catching up!

    I blame Google. Google “contributed” to the HTML 5 standard, and what we ended up with is a standard so complex and convoluted that it’s nearly impossible to make a fully capable browser without using Chromium code.

    They didn’t violate open source rules, but they weaponized it to kill off independent browsers. Just my 2¢.

        I forgot about HW acceleration. Yeah, that is totally on Mozilla.

        But I’ll admit I’m not a web dev. I just took the basic courses in school; HTML/JS/PHP, etc. I learned enough to know I wasn’t gonna be good at it. :)
