- Vinnl 9y ago> penalise you for downgrading by deleting random bookmarks and your browsing history aka they don't support profile data migration between versions. "Penalise" is needlessly polarising.
- lexicality 9y agoOn the one hand yes, but on the other hand prior to 55 it worked fine. I feel like they could have saved that up for 57 as part of the cake icing.
- Vinnl 9y agoActually, they never supported backwards migrations: it just happened to work relatively well. They even explicitly noted this in the release notes. And it's easy to imagine that it would cost a lot of effort, especially with the massive amount of changes in 57, to support something that would be used only once by a relatively small number of users.
