Yeah. MV3 is a faster but less capable version. With MV2, every request must be filtered with slow, JIT, garbage-collected JavaScript code. In MV3, filtering is handled by native browser code using the list provided by extensions. UserScrip

Did you know that Mozilla spends so much of their budget on their CEO's compensation that they actually had to lay off the entire Servo team?

by maxloh 4mo ago
Because Mozilla allocates far too much of their budget to executive compensation, which has led to the layoff of many Firefox maintainers, including the entire Servo team. A self-respecting hacker would choose a piece of tech that is well-m

Maybe you could move most operations to local WASM? That way, you could save on most server costs.

Yeah. An idea on top of that is to bundle an entire website into a single HTML page, with vendored JavaScript to enable client-side routing (all of the original pages' JS is still stripped out). That way, the page is self-contained as

Oh, I see. In that case, feature-wise, it is actually a modern alternative to HTTrack. I think the misunderstanding stems from the browser's "Save As" reference in the description. It is misleading. You use "Save As&quot

I find SingleFile [0] to be a much more robust version of this. It strips out all the JavaScript too, but also packs everything into a single HTML file that is easy to transfer. Binary assets (like web fonts and images) are packed as base64

Nextcloud is written in PHP, which doesn't sound scalable to me. OwnCloud is written in Go but employs an open-core model. Some features are locked behind a proprietary paywall.

Do you even know what you're talking about? OpenCode started as an independent CLI project. Their desktop app is still in beta, and it was never a fork of VS Code. I believe they contain no code derived from VS Code.

It's about the tech stack, IMO. Chromium is a moving target to maintain compatibility with, which is difficult for a team that doesn't have much C++ experience. As a counter example, Brave is heavily invested in C++ and Rust, and

They can only support MV2 extensions as long as Google continues to maintain them. Their tech stack is heavily JavaScript-focused, as their entire UI is written in JavaScript.

Yeah, pissing off the ecosystem is a great way to drive users to your competitors. Requiring users to manually install and update a popular extension is a subpar experience. It seems they spent so much of their budget on the CEO's sala
