I disagree that Tree Style Tabs are awful. I use it every day and it's rock solid. Firefox forever, yo! Whitest guy ever tries to make an F gang sign with his fingers

Long time TST user here. Yeah, it's actually very stable, even after the it became a WebExtension. Last year I've used Sideberry extensively. It has some nifty features that TST does not have. Do these two extensions look native to their host OS? Nope. I can live with that if don't need to use another closed source Chrome clone.

Sideberry doesn't look native, but I use TST and it looks exactly like the Firefox tabbar

I’ve worked on projects that logged locally and only transmitted every ~60 days when they detected the right network (eg public wifi). So unless you monitor it continuously and permanently this isn’t true.

I know open source projects that update their code every 30 days. Unless you're continuously and permanently monitoring every patch of every library then this isn't true.

but you can compile it and disable all those stuff with patch. With close source, we have to wait for 60 days, find the ip and block etc..?

Dealing with opensource project is way easy tbh.

It's another Chromium wrapper(?), and calling yourself "The Browser Company" is, IMHO, sketchy at best? Requires sign in on launch... https://i.imgur.com/89Oegnf.jpeg

In my view, the name "The Browser Company of New York" feels cheerful and evokes an old-timey, skilled craftsmen feel. They do care a lot about storytelling and their brand, and their relationship to their users.
