Yeah, if people didn't think it was worth donating to before, they sure as shit aren't going to pay for it now that it's also closed source. What's their value prop even supposed to be here?

As far as I know, Firefox Mobile doesn't have a bottom toolbar so I'm not really sure what you are referring to there (at least, there's no bottom toolbar in Firefox on Android where I'm using it), and the notification/battery area is definitely not part of Firefox. It sounds like your phone's system UI is providing those elements, and it's likely not really fair to blame problems with the system UI on Firefox.

How do you mean? I've been using it for a couple of months now and aside from one website (my bank) everything I've tried to do with it has been perfectly fine. It even has adblock and videos play in the background. I've also not seen any issues with dark mode; I'm using dark mode right now, actually.

They kinda do already; Apple sells a twisted piece of metal for $1k, and people buy it from them.

Hey, the 2nd Amendment doesn't say Americans can't have nuclear missiles in their garages. This guy was just doing his patriotic duty! /s

Something like this would be cool for ublock origin too, with a sound pinging whenever an ad is blocked; could be fun.

We weren't discussing a left wing party here, it's a right wing party that you said wasn't far-right because of their openly stated racism. I could have been clearer in my response, but I'm saying that by being openly racist (and by maintaining relationships with members who are openly racist), this right wing party is far-right.

You are correct though about the actual distinction between leftism and rightism being support for capitalism, thank you for clarifying that.

Being racist does not make you far-right

Being openly racist absolutely does mean being right wing. What else would it mean? That's the main platform the right has, they just bury it under euphemisms and pretend it doesn't exist. The ones who are too stupid to obfuscate their racist remarks are the far-right.

There are other instances for both piped and invidious aside from the ones linked above. I believe the intended usage involves you finding the instance closest to you in terms of network, which may not be those specific instances linked above.

Mouse gestures, synchronising my settings across 2 PCs and an android phone, shortcuts to different searchers etc. Plus it would need to be visually customisable

It sounds like perhaps you haven't looked into Firefox for a while, because out of the box it does all of the things you listed, except for gestures. There are multiple popular plugins that provide Firefox gestures easily. I'm not sure what visual customizations you're referring to, but Firefox also has had support for themes for ages now.

Every time I try KDE again, it feels so cluttered and all over the place with extra buttons everywhere and things scattered all about. So I go through pages and pages of customizations and settings to tame it into something that isn't hideously distracting, and... I realize that I've made it look pretty much like Gnome would with a couple of extensions and way less effort, so I go back to Gnome. 🤷

his idea was to reduce visibility of harmful content

He's got a funny way of accomplishing that goal. So funny that it looks like his goal is exactly the opposite. GENIUS!
