Citizenship doesn't affect things. Place of residence does. If he lived in the US (or other non-EU country), then there's no way to claim any EU jurisdiction. (In this specific cas…

15-20 years is exactly the same timeframe that most of Europe uses for railway planning. That includes things like HS2 in the UK, the Berlin-Munich high speed rail project, LGV Rhi…

It can also induce diarrhoea. And taking substances for performance enhancement is essentially doping (as in: not permitted for most sports).

Seriously though, that city is SO dirty and smelly. The public infrastructure is not only bad and falling apart, but politics is sufficiently broken that very little is likely to b…

No, it doesn't. (Except for perhaps UK and Canada.)

That's only true if you live in a place with an unsustainable market, i.e. permanently growing rents and house prices. There are places with stable house and rental prices, and in …

Took them long enough, glad they're becoming a bit braver (almost like Brave :p). Any plans for desktop though...? After all, desktop seems to be the main platform for Mozilla.

Feel free to go to Switzerland and change the law if you think so. You are perfectly free to try and get the consitution changed, as long as you can convince 100'000 citizens to ag…

"US incomes are far higher than French incomes, and especially if we're comparing eg NYC vs Paris" A common assumption that americans get wrong: this isn't the case. (Taxes might a…

Yes, it loads all tabs at startup. That's not a good thing, starting chrom[e/ium] on my old laptop is not a very fast experience, even on my work machines it takes a while.

Well, there are things like the US prison system, US telecommunications, US military industry, etc., etc., that would give you lots of good results.

That comment could've been written without executing any Javascript. // Edit: heh, someone already said the same.

Anything on BA is unpleasant though. First class on the United 747 was a fairly pleasant experience. You could tell it was an old plane, but the seat comfort was amazing and the vi…

Inroads on Android? Got data on that? As much as I love Focus, it's irrelevant in terms of marketshare (and it's also just webkit/chrome under the hood). And Firefox for Android ma…

How much money does DuckDuckGo have to offer Mozilla? Mozilla do ask for quite a chunk of money when selling traffic (/users).

Except on Mobile. (Let's ignore Firefox iOS since that's really just webkit with a better UI.) Either Mozilla know something I don't, or they're sticking with a sinking ship and fo…

Gecko already runs on iOS, I just don't know what the exact build process is. The trouble is, a browser is much more than an engine, and why would people sink effort into an unrele…

To me the UX is a major plus in FF on Android (albeit with plenty of rough edges in the more hidden features). But yeah, no investment in mobile performance sucks (but hey, they sp…

Focus is chrome with a different skin and ads blocked. Literally, it's WebView which is Chrome.

Citations for "cutting how much they were going to pay"? Mozilla revenue is up, they're making a LOT of profit, and the Yahoo deal was supposed to be 5 years so they're not likely …

Mozilla don't really care about mobile. The (too) small mobile teams do care, but the company as a whole doesn't - which mostly explains why it's so rough.

Ambitious in a technical sense - yes. But not ambitious in a "protect the users" sense (see e.g. tracking protection/ad blocking), and also not ambitious in a business sense (i.e. …

If Mozilla fold, you could still use chromium. Effectively no privacy difference between chromium and firefox tbh. (Unless you use tracking protection in private browsing, but exte…

> This gives us a lot more freedom of choice when making decisions about what and how to make money. I'd argue the opposite. Mozilla seem too scared to try anything substantial bec…
