They really need to start adding windows as a build target at some near point in the future. As a webdev, that’s the only way I can convince the public to switch.
- DaoVeles 2y agoI mean for a long while even the GNU project provided Windows builds for Icecat browser. Probably to much Stallman grumbling. EDIT : Actually they still update it. Last version is 115.
- actionfromafar 2y agoFirst time I hear about Icecat browser. It seems like something that should be much more known!
- DaoVeles 2y agoBecause of the whole culture of GNU/FSF/Stallman, it can be a little funky at times. It has been a while but I think it still comes bundled with LibreJS, an addon that checks every Java script for Libre licensing. And yes it can be disabled. I get it and I like the idea but it does make for a difficult up front experience.
- lukan 2y ago"that’s the only way I can convince the public to switch." It is not ready, to be a public browser.
- master-lincoln 2y agoMaybe Ladybird can be a good reason to convince the "public" to switch away from Windows in the near future
- prox 2y agoThat would be a great day. Unfortunately the culture of Linux is still too much walled garden, not in the Apple-like commercial sense, but in the tech culture kind of way. We need a way to embrace the public without losing what makes Linux great (to hack it to your own specifications)
- leshenka 2y agoIt's already too hard to convince public to switch from chrome to another chromium browser or firefox and you're talking about switching to browser that is at least several years away from feature parity

- Sammi 2y agoThey want to be able to run more websites well before they invite the unwashed masses from windows XD
- prox 2y agoI don’t disagree :)
- nektro 2y agoit would be very silly for them to add windows support
