X and xterm are accessible because they also let you run graphical apps, for example you can program using pygame. I'm not sure why they would add neovim and Firefox.

Or you hit the right button but you have to keep holding it down to move the character and don't realize your finger has been slipping and the character suddenly stops moving at the worse moment. I've had that happen with Gameboy

I don't know about "non-native" but words tend to lose the hyphen over time when their usage becomes more common. A recent example is e-mail, old texts contain the hyphen but more recent books and articles will likely omit it

You may be right but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, that may be just to keep the UI consistent and avoid the trouble of people complaining that they see the button on some websites but not on others.

Wouldn't reducing batch sizes make privacy even more of a problem? Now instead of a 1/100000 chance of the user being the same person on another website there would be a 1/1000 chance.

Firefox on Android has a setting "Open links in apps" and works similar to the way you describe but it's global, either enabled for all websites or disabled for all. I agree that something similar on desktop would be useful.

Input methods are managed by the OS, the browser delegates control. It can't do that over a simulated input control rendered on a canvas. Also what I mean is that all these are problems already solved by browsers that follow w3c recomm

In the new icons, is it just me or the drive on the top right looks exactly the same as the drive on the bottom left? They are different in the old icon set. The new folder icon looks much better than the old one in my opinion.
