In this years Software Olympics, developers attempt to get the worlds largest abandoned internet browser compatible with the worlds most slowly developed display protocol.
- esarbe 5y agoHaha, me so funny! People are donating the source code to their privacy focused browser and documenting their efforts! Let's belittle their efforts and make fun of them by throwing unfounded claims! Yay!
- bitwize 5y agoHackernews bikesheds the browser and the display protocol. A few Mozillas come around to explain that yes, progress is being made, no, not everyone who can code was laid off from the Mozilla Foundation, and you will have a properly scaled Firefox running on your 4K display Real Soon Now.

- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoEn-Gate!
- mastrsushi 5y agoThey ain’t postin, someone’s gotta :)
- Seirdy 5y agoOi, don't break the prime directive, or k** is gonna deploy the #cat-v platoon on us.
- hulitu 5y ago"Properly scaled" If they had this for their UI and the scrollbars maybe this would keep me from switching. But they know better.
- 0xdeadb00f 5y agoI'm a Firefox user. But I'd say you're not entirely wrong. I'd change "largest abandoned" to "least used" IMO. FF still gets updates, but the only major changes are UX ones (which no one asked for).
- tinus_hn 5y agoMeanwhile HackerNews contributes nothing but complaints about the Google Chrome monopoly.
- no_time 5y agoDespite the ever increasing scope of html5 and the shrinking ff userbase, I have yet to find a page that doesn't work correctly in ff. I really wish they'd face reality and retarget their marketing to their real audience with blogposts like this on mozilla.com instead of whatever the f is currently going on there.
