No, Rust didn't actually make it slower to run. It's likely it made it a bit faster; the code quality in Firefox isn't great. It just makes things slower to compile and less portable.

It's unfortunate that this might happen. Kernel compilation times were starting to become so reasonable!

A national ban isn't a global ban. If plasmas are superior, why aren't they popular in Korea?

I went to the one I'm most familiar with. Also, it was fine even when the regulations happened. It's not cherry-picking, it's choosing to speak on the one I'm most qualified to speak on. I live in an area of the countr

Modern OLEDs do last over 100k hours. http://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2016/06/133_206377.htm... California is a single state, and plasmas failed to keep traction anywhere, despite still bei

It wasn't government that destroyed plasma TVs; it was LCDs being significantly cheaper to produce and sell, and now OLEDs having eliminated most of the drawbacks of every other format.

He already had attacked Epstein, long before any of the controversy either time had occurred. He's not caving to a mob by doing so.

Postfix is incredibly intuitive. It's much simpler to read than alternatives. Your proposal is wrong.

Honestly, there's barely a reason for Firefox to exist anywhere outside of the desktop after they eliminated extensions one more time for every other platform. The "Firefox anywhere but desktop" package nowadays is "He

Actually, the Netscape page is just a thin veneer over the CompuServe page. If you take the green gifs off, the page is filled with CompuServe colors. It's less a template and more Netscape wearing the skin of CompuServe turned green.

Correct, because it's all pretty much low-quality content by most standards.

But that's already happening on it! It therefore wouldn't be dropping in quality from where it already is!

I know IceCat is a rebranding of Firefox. It doesn't include the Pocket integration, and therefore is an upgrade. If Firefox dies, it honestly wouldn't be a massive loss for the open web at this point. Webkit and Blink are suffici

There are other non-proprietary browsers, and Firefox is not innately better than any of them. Icecat for example. Or Epiphany. I really, really dislike Brave, and despise the person responsible for it, but even it's freer than Fir

I agree with Mozilla's views politically, but Pocket is proprietary. It's a major flaw. Something proprietary (I know the Firefox integration is free now, but the server isn't), controlled by an American corporation, turned

Not...quite. It's not an emulated NeXTSTEP desktop or WorldWideWeb itself. It's just a tribute to it. They made a blog post on how they made it a few years ago, if I recall correctly. It's just some UI chrome on top of some J
