I'm asking you what the misinformation is. Is this harder to investigate because the software is closed source? In my mind undoubtedly yes. I know it was harder for ME to investigate because it wasn't open source - no open issue trackers, SCM repository, whatever.

So please tell me why what I said was misinformation - I'm really curious.

But it is, because making users download a 2GB repo and looking through the code, or crafting custom filter rules to investigate how rules work is harder than looking at a hosted source code repository (like what Brave has).

Where is the misinformation?

You don't think a tarball dump is harder to investigate than a CVS repository? I never claimed it was impossible to investigate further, just that it was harder to.

Where is the misinformation?

I never used those, but I have been using Winger for a while. Not a strong recommendation, but I am continuing to use it. I also heavily abuse tab searching and switching via the awesomebar.

Would it be interesting to y'all if I wrote about how to capture performance profiles on Firefox for Android so that you can report bugs to developers?

[-] yoasif@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

That's an interesting interpretation! I definitely agree that that is the underlying bug, but it also seems to rob people -- Firefox users, developers, managers, contributors of agency - we are all in thrall to the almighty Google.

I think we can do more to even in the face of that stiff competition (and ignorance) - which is why I wrote.

Please forgive the spam -- if you use Firefox and would like to join the Reddit diaspora from r/firefox, check us out on Kbin/Lemmy.
