Honestly, I'm starting to think in terms of what really would it look like to not use a (Firefox- or Webkit-based) browser any more.

Aside from random one-off things I wouldn't know I wanted to use until I wanted to use it, a few things I'd want to be able to use on my desktop Gentoo machine:

  • Discord (without installing the proprietary dedicated app, though I don't currently give a fuck about video or audio -- just chat)
  • Lemmy (I might literally write my own client if necessary, but I'm curious about Neon Modem)
  • YouTube (Minitube's not terrible)
  • Wikipedia (Dillo would probably work ok for Wikipedia, though I'd definitely lose features like link hovering previous and such)
  • Twitch (No idea how to do that yet)
  • Gmail (Mutt, maybe? Though, honestly, I should quit Gmail and get another provider anyway.)
  • Various relatively-mainstream news sites and blogs (Dillo? RSS readers?)

There are probably plenty of things I'm not thinking of. We'll see if I ever do that or not.

"Firefox, the only browser that hasn't been hitting itself in the dick"

Lol. Lmao even.

How do you think they got from 10% share years ago to the 2℅ they have now?

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
