I’ve got the same generation MBP. Why not just use the slack desktop app? I’ve never had a problem running that side by side with Firefox. And performance for both is nearly as good as on my current model laptop at work.
IIRC when I first tried that about a year and a half ago, it didn't work properly :/

Chrome this year wanted to push other browsers to adopt obsolete U2F specifications because they used them in Google products. If there's a single implementation, and the gatekeepers are majority from one company, standards and interoperability become irrelevant.

What's the point of maintaining four separate software projects who's ideal purpose is to literally do the exact same thing. It's much better to settle on one open source project.

As a web developer, I find this to be anything be true. Safari supports loads of cool features that clients ask for, like native css carousels (css snap points), and blur effects (backdrop-filter). Chrome, does not.
If you're still developing carousels then you deserve everything you get with Safari. Have fun with that :)
Software has these everywhere. iOS and Android homescreens are carousels. Netflix 'rails' are carousels. CSS Snap Points is a way to create native snapping scrolling views, which Safari and IE supports, but Chrome does not.
Great to see mainstream media picking this up and giving Firefox some exposure. With Microsoft switching to Chromium, Firefox is now the only viable (cross platform) alternative. FF gaining back a solid amount of market share is critical for the browser ecosystem in the future. (Personally I switched back to FF after the first Quantum release, which brought performance back on par with Chrome. On mobile, the ad block…
I hope to see Firefox eventually providing an embeddable framework, considering that Chromium isn't just monopolising the web browser space... it's spreading into desktop applications through Electron. Left unchecked, Google will manage to poke its fingers into every pie within reach. It seems like the ideal solution of using the OS's native web toolkit hasn't been successful so far. So the next best offering (aside…
Then there's GeckoView, which they explicitly decided not to make available as a WebView drop-in to be available systemwide on Android. In this case, at least they seem to have a reason, though it seems to me that having an alternative to Google's WebView would be valuable enough to continue.

There is a very loud but relatively tiny minority of developers that work for/with and/or support Mozilla in some way, who actively take part in brigading on HN to try and sway your opinion. Any time anybody complains about a better browser, you'll see someone promote Firefox and bring a few hundred of their friends to up-fnord their story to the front page or down-fnord dissenting commenters.
I guess you have proofs of that. Claiming that there's brigading just because people upvote what you don't find upvote-worthy is not very constructive. I mean, I've been a Mozilla volunteer for a couple of years, some years ago (on MDN, FWIW), but I think it doesn't mean I'm some sort of fanboy just because of that. Ask Mozilla volunteers who's seen me drunk how harsh I can be towards Mozilla.
There simply aren't that many fans of the browser.
What else should I conclude?
(And both of my comments on this thread are flagged for 1) telling the truth about this obvious brigading and 2) saying I'd rather use MS Edge because I don't trust Mozilla after they added tracking via Pocket and after they removed an extension for purely political purposes which are 2 things that most definitely did happen. The truth hurts I guess, better hide it!)

It's not just that. Exporting Passwords from Chrome to FF is impossible in macOS. Not a day goes by that I don't have to enter my password for a website. Thus, switching to FF actually means re-entering tens of passwords manually (given that you do remember the passwords, otherwise you'll have to go to Passwords Manager in Chrome and see the saved passwords).
Might it be worth using a password manager instead, like 1Password, or KeePass and its variants?
A long shot but you may be able to save us countless hours of effort. Over at the OpenJ9 project we're trying to get z/OS testing for our JDK and one of the dependencies is the XML::Parse perl library which depends on libexpat. In [1] you mentioned you worked on porting this to work with EBCDIC. Did you ever succeed? If so are your changes available in open source anywhere?

Clearly the evidence is the fact that Mozilla/Firefox, with a very, very tiny minority market share among browsers, is able to make it to the HN front-page whenever they want. There simply aren't that many fans of the browser. What else should I conclude?

Also, that very tiny, tiny percent of users is still in the tens (hundreds?) of millions in absolute numbers. Could it just be that Firefox users are more likely to upvote submissions about Firefox than others?
IMHO you're just seeing a conspiracy where there is none.

Says here the Cisco codec allows you to use H.264 in WebRTC with gstreamer and Firefox. It does not enable generic H.264 playback, only WebRTC. https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/2835 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264
Because generic support for H264 in Firefox came in Firefox 43, four years ago. If Firefox finds ffmpeg, it uses it.

The common ground is the standard not the browser implementation. The web has been working well and is still working well with multiple implementations.
