To be fair quite a few users left Firefox because they found it "bloated" or "it didn't work anymore" but never realized they were the ones that installed the bloat/adware/malware.

Seems to be only the code samples. The code itself still lives in Subversion on webrtc.org and still uses Google's issue tracker.

Ignoring the fact that both SuSE and Red Hat are paying the involved engineers their paychecks in order to get the feature in their silo first.

But Netscape was running at a much faster pace. They got ahead of us on features and they began to give their browser away at no cost to end users. This made Netscape the standard by which all other browsers were judged. If our browser

Why would they give a refund or discount in the first place? "I would like to return my Haswell chip because it has come to my attention that some of the execution units can't execute all instructions." I guess the problem is

There's absolutely nothing interesting about a position which is game-theoretically a draw and actually needs a fairly big blunder to be winnable which is why no-one even bothers in practice. More interesting is that the position is ac

I think his point is that neither of those are secure.

I have to say that that combined with the whole GG thing certainly opened up my eyes how incredibly mysonginist some things and communities are, and how badly they are in denial of it.

Early(?) Simpsons had Bart going to the comic book store all the time, and he's a 10 year old. Sounds like that part of the show has now aged!

What problem are you having exactly? Works fine here.

The source didn't get published until long afterwards. Firefox got broken because of this - and also because the previews had several other bugs that prevented it from starting up in the first place and detecting more problems.

I was referring to the fact that many Google sites offer a subpar experience if you're not visiting them with Google's own browser, yes. So it's not a misconception, those people are right that they're better of using Go

You didn't mention the lack of backwards compatibility. Broke Kindle, for example.

the misconception is that they _need_ Chrome in order to use Google _anything_. Chrome is use for Google, and nothing else. Misconception?

I remember back in the day you used to be able to build gcc with various other compilers to bootstrap yourself. I think gcc now requires gcc features, so you're in the same boat. But anyway, the comparison isn't very good because

Just like Mozilla's page, that makes perfect sense as long as the authenticity can be verified via other means, such as PGP signatures. What use is having HTTPS to protect the very thing that you need to implement it . It's a bas

Uh, in case you didn't notice, those SHA checksums are also PGP signed. I Googled Mozilla Thunderbird and the first hit was the download page, using HTTPS. You're right SSL isn't enforced, but that's a chicken and egg

They cooperate on the same stack (webrtc.org) which deals with audio/video processing. Networking, JavaScript bindings, etc (the part exposed to the outside world where standardization matters) are separate. This ironically means that

In no way does Google want Firefox down. Of course they do. One less browser to support for all their properties, one annoying group in the standardization process less that keeps clamoring for annoying things like user privacy, proper sp

Mozilla writes patches against all supported Firefox versions (that's what being supported means !), and as already stated, Debian only uses officially supported versions for Iceweasel. So no, there are never security patches that Deb

Iceweasel is based on the officially supported Firefox versions, so upstream by definition has all the security patches.
