We're also experimenting with making it configurable. You can ratchet down `browser.tabs.tabMinWidth` in `about:config` to pack more tabs in per window.

My understanding is that braille displays are quite mechanically complex, as each cell needs to be able to individually raise and lower six pips. An 80-character, single-line terminal display would require 480 tiny actuators.

"Firefox Quantum" is the marketing name for Firefox 57. "Firefox Quantum: Developer Edition" == "Firefox: Developer Edition" for versions of Firefox >= 57. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree that the UX isn't anywhere as seamless as Chrome's, though I've seen add-ons that attempt to fill that niche. Hopefully we'll revisit it once containers are done. Personally, I'm on Linux most of the time, s

And yet here it is, available and working as a WebExtension more than a month before legacy add-ons go away. The process may look opaque, but as far as results, I'm really not sure what more you want? We moved to WebExtensions specific

More changes are coming (WebRender, etc.), but raw benchmarks are only part of the story. We focused an enormous amount of effort on improving perceived performance in Firefox 57. More events go into an idle queue, background tabs get thr

Feel free to reach out to those add-on authors and suggest they port to Firefox. It should be pretty much painless at this point, and we even have an online linter at http://extensiontest.com/ that should give them a good i

WebExtensions started with Chrome API compatibility as a base, so you may be able to just download the Chrome version's .crx file, unpack it, and run it in Firefox, perhaps with some minor tweaks. You can upload the CRX to https:&#x2F

In addition to the Amex deals, it's usually possible to buy up to 10k MQMs directly from Delta at the end of each year, albeit at an obscene markup.

Didn't we already run that experiment in the United States, from its founding up through the early 20th century? In what ways do you suppose things would differ today?

The 503 error page was, itself, served by Caddy. Or at least it matched the default Caddy error pages, so those parts were evidently working just fine. :)

You're absolutely correct, but it's still frustrating. :( It's totally within rights, and the rates are completely reasonable for funded or profitable ventures. I'm just bummed that I can't quickly grab a Caddy bina

My first thought upon finding out that Caddy's source was still under an open source license was "can that change, too?" As far as I can tell, the answer is "not unilaterally," as I don't see any requirements f

Which is frustrating, because Caddy is a great product, especially from a solo operator standpoint. Configuration is simple and the defaults are sane. The humans behind Caddy are nice people. And while this move has somewhat soured my opi

Congratulations on the launch, and good luck finding a sustainable means of funding Caddy. It's a uniquely ergonomic webserver. That said, the unalterable Caddy-Sponsors HTTP header feels bad, and cheapens my overall impression of Ca
