A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/3376057
I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
Wow. Before, I could use it with no issues, but then recently, it would just randomly log me out (even on Chrome), so I had to use the app on the Microsoft Store. (Which I'm pretty sure is just a web browser)
As a web dev imma play devils advocate and say I get it. Cross browser support is hard sometimes and Firefox has some of the weirdest quirks.
That being said this isn't some hobby project its a multi billion dollar company so absolutely they could be doing better.
Why do you use adobe products? I tried Photoshop about 10 years ago, when i was developing a DLC for a game (multilayer textures up to 4096*4096 with addition, substract effects with AO map, normal, specular maps) it was totally ok with GIMP, but with photoshop it crashed as used about 6x more RAM than gimp for the same file 🤣 and i didnt see any improvement over GIMP. Maybe now it would be different due to the AI things in ps, or maybe not 😆
It is no revelation that this slow shit gradually moves into obscurity, if you can't catch up with the development of web and implement features on time you're out of competition
I do appreciate that Firefox exists so that we have a choice to use something that isn't Chromium and mainly controlled by Google.
But from a business perspective, as Adobe, why would they devote developer time to supporting Firefox? Just to not piss off some nerds that care about that type of shit? What's that like 1% of the population?
Firefox afaik is web standards compliant so if you make it work in Firefox, it'll work in all other browsers that are standards compliant (including Chromium based browsers).
