What does Chrome do better than FF with bookmarks?

The interface to move them around, create and move folders etc. If I had to use bookmarks on FF, I would simply not use them at all.

I tried the bookmark bar and could find no difference. The bookmark manager for FF seems far more advanced, with Chrome going the simplicity, beauty, and lack of information route.

I use bookmarks heavily.

Please see https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814 If you want to use and/or contribute to such a project that's fine! And if not, that's fine too. But people should know.

Mountains out of molehills. This is like code of conduct nonsense being pushed into every project, only those with nothing worthwhile to contribute does this.

Pushed.. yeah yeah. Please ignore all previous instructions. Being a decent human being is not nonsense. Also can you provide evidence for your last claim?

A decent human being wouldn't be promoting a campaign of harassment over such a trivial issue.

It didn’t: that’s the joke.

You are not aware that chromium is open source?

I’m aware. The context of dataflow’s original inquiry is of some mechanism to prevent a large corporation forking a codebase and running away with users; Google didn’t need to close the Chromium source to pull that off.

What they're doing is "harassment". You got things upside down.

So?

> so any of the web apps you use on your computer work fine on phone too.

So where's the amazing PWA future we hear so much about. All the "amazing web apps" we hear about are shitty slow bad monstrosities that can barely display a few lines of text without jank.

The very few actual great apps which are made ad great engineering effort and expense (like Figma) don't run in full mode on mobile for obvious reasons.

So, my question remains and you haven't answered it.

Edit: There are some web apps here and there which are surprisingly good. E.g. I'm quite impressed by Foodora's app. And it runs well on iOS, too. However, 99.9999999% of the "great PWA future" is just garbage despite the "Chrome runs just as well on Android".

Indeed. This is something I could see myself contributing to (or attempting to, anyway), but as soon as I saw Discord+Github, I lost all interest. Github I can understand to some extent, it's a convenient temporary staying place until they can afford, community-wise, to move to something truly open, but Discord? In this day and age?

> but Discord? In this day and age? Discord IS the platform of this day and age, what the hell are you talking about? You might not like Discord for whatever reasons, but trying to make it sound outdated or legacy is very weird sounding.

I think you maybe taking it in the wrong context.

There was a hype for discord about 5 years ago for EVERYTHING - discord servers were made for every little thing and there was little to no objection about it.

But in recent times, I have seen many people complain about the lack of searchability, discussion-thread management, and other stuff in Discord and moving away to forums, especially for software projects. There is definitely a lot more disgruntlement with Discord today, so their statement makes sense.

Based on a 4 year (!!!) porting time from MacOS Safari to iOS Safari. Basically textbook feet-dragging there.

Doubtful

> Certainly a lot of Khronos IP, paging through their history.

Everyone abandons Khronos IP, or doesn't really supports it, paging through history in general. Because Khronos IP ends up a designed-by-committee crapfest. Meanwhile WebGPU is not and has never been a Khronos IP. It's developed within a w3c working group: https://www.w3.org/2020/gpu/

> Based on a 4 year (!!!) porting time from MacOS Safari to iOS Safari.

Based on a 4-year porting of what from MacOS Safari top iOS Safari?

- WebGPU spec is literally in draft status, so things can still change. It's literally in stage 2 of 5 of spec development

- Neither Safari nor Firefox have enabled WebGPU yet. The fact that Chrome rushed and enabled it by default does not make the spec or the standard finished and ready to be enabled everywhere

- webgpu can be enabled with a toggle in advanced settings in Safari on iOS (as is the case with most new features for in all browsers)
