> No adware, no bloat, no noise. And, apparently, no tree style tabs, no vertical tabs at all.
What does Tree Style Tabs offer that Sidebery doesn't? I switched to it and haven't looked back. The tab search functionality is so damn nice.

I agree with you here. I want a viable non-Chromium browser. But even if that existed, I also think a practical Chromium browser is important to have access to. I'm a developer and I use the web, so sometimes I just need Chromium. I think that will continue to be necessary for at least 10 years. And I think the landscape of Chromium browsers is very bad. As a minimum, I want adblocking, low- or no-telemetry, timely s…
its not MacOS only. just installed on windows

> If it's only breaking for you, and you alone, you can see why the rest of us are skeptical that it really is that broken. There are several problems here. Before anything, I want to note that we don't have to fight, we aren't enemies. We're on the same ideological side, even. This tastes like an angry and bitter internet argument. Do you taste it too? We're just two people talking about web browsers. We don't need…
I'm going to generally side with with ops "bitterness" here. Sure, I don't want bad blood -- but like, I get why their tone is this way; this ain't just McDonalds vs Burger King. Op is correctly frustrated at the "consumer is always right" mindset folks like you show. This is more important than consumer choice and (as someone who uses Firefox as a daily driver and will just bounce to Chromium as needed) "fixing a bi…
If you want to target privacy nerds, please consider supporting Linux off the bat.

Not true about webgpu, but true about some APIs in Google's project-fugu
We had very few products that use the fugu apis., and I don't believe we were the first to ship them either in a production website. If you're looking at fugu in particular (especially in the latter stages) we had external developers or businesses wanting the features. Note: there are some apis that a Google customer wanted to use first.

> there's always another site that doesn't work right I keep hearing it, but personally I’ve only come across one recently (a site was running some tracking bullshit that broke on FF). And there’s one feature broken on LinkedIn.
Take that you know of 2 from recent memory and imagine someone unlucky enough to be in the top 10% of most broken sites experience by chance for the last 3 months. Those are the ones that comment/leave about it, but it's a game of attrition over a long enough time. Webcompat used to be a lot more active (not sure if it's one of the things Mozilla has stopped actively engaging or not) but it was always a few big sites…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't mean this to doubt you, it is a sincere question. Do you have any examples of that happening? It sounds very believable, but it would be great to have actual sources for future reference.
QUIC. HTTP/3. WebP. And more in this comment thread.

Hopefully the Ladybird browser will become a viable choice soon
Did Andreas even mention anything about extensions in Ladybird? I hardly can imagine browsing the Internet without ublock origin or other extensions like cookie autodelete, privacy badger, ublacklist

You are making assumptions about me which are not correct. I am not using Firefox because it has bugs which made it stop working as web browser for me. I have had breaking problems with Firefox on every platform I've used it on. On desktop (multiple Linuxes, Windows 7 and 10, and MacOS) I run into problems which I spend hours trying to fix, until I give up and go back to a Chromium browser. On iPadOS and iOS, it woul…
> On desktop (multiple Linuxes, Windows 7 and 10, and MacOS) I run into problems which I spend hours trying to fix, until I give up and go back to a Chromium browser. On iPadOS and iOS, it would crash when using arrowkeys to navigate URL history(or something like that, if I remember correctly. Been awhile). I had another issue with it on Android, the details of which I'd forgotten. I don't even use the sync features-…
I myself am guilty of this in the past, and I hope GP does not take offense at my writing this, as I don't intend to offend. I think it's just a feature/bug of humanity... some underlying mechanism that can possibly only be explained with psychology of lizard brains or something ;)
