I’m not sure what exactly you’re talking about.

This article—which I haven’t read—has a screenshot of mobile Google Chrome tab grouping. Hopefully this’ll help.

Is this the official Mozilla connect survey? I believe the question order and groupings were randomized, and that may have been a (IMO bad) control question.

Hey, I got curious and decided to take a look at how things are going.

Currently, there’s a big meta issue on Bugzilla (1907090) with dozens of sub-issues tracking development of tab grouping on desktop, and they’re actively being worked on right now. Seems like there’s simply a lot of work to be done, especially of the invisible sort, before we get the feature proper. But things are progressing nonetheless!

So I’d say there’s no need to join the crowd asking that on every other announcement… but that’s just what I think. Hopefully this was helpful :^)

if its truly end to end encrypted

Telegram chats aren’t end-to-end encrypted by default, and group messages cannot be encrypted. Just saying.

Yeah, I think it’s just funny comparing it with the usual situation on Linux, where there’s even less restrictions. I believe you can actually put a newline in a file name, for example, though I’ll need to check and come back later.

I’d need to rename a massive amount of files if I ever wanted to go back to Windows.

P.S. yup. Generally, just avoid /, null, and you’re good to go.

And to make matters more complicated,

• Servo, as far I know, has no plans to be a browser. Instead, they want to offer an alternative to Blink (the Chrome rendering engine), so that other software can be made with it. This seems to be a common misconception.
• Ladybird’s project lead and main developer, Andreas Kling, may or may not hold controversial views that some would prefer to avoid supporting.

I really want there to be more options in the browser market that aren’t Blink based (or WebKit, sorry Apple), but the situation’s tough.

You can probably force it to be by using a custom extension list, but the result might not be functional or pretty to look at.

I don’t think so. As far as context switching goes, tab groups are faster and, having used both Chrome’s tab groups and Firefox’s bookmarks, I’d argue they’re easier to manage too.

The way I see it, each feature has different intended uses. Ideally, I wouldn’t use tab groups as a bookmarks substitute either… but sometimes it happens due to their advantages.

Using bookmarks as a substitute for tab groups is a very different user experience, though.

They might simply prefer it, or be in an environment where they have no choice (e.g. office, education).

I’m a stubborn Firefox user but I have to say, this feels a little aggressive and not at all likely to convince anyone to switch.

To be clearer, at least for now, they’re literally separate checkboxes. I have the sidebar on, AI off.

I would love it if Mozilla cast the AI trend aside

I feel you… :^(

The AI assistant stuff is currently an opt-in experiment.

By overestimating users’ intelligence… classic blunder, really. 🧐

I jest, I’ve no idea.

I forgot those exist and interpreted it as “Would you sacrifice performance for one of these features?”

Am I stupid?

That’s a shame! Be good if someone could look into that later. Glad you found something that works, though.

Thought I’d forgotten 'bout this comment, didn’tcha? Sorry to say, I’m very good at restarting old discussions instead of sleeping on time.

I tried looking into this again, and although I’m not sure, I don’t think you can. Please do comment if you have any insight on this.

I trimmed down the fat and replaced it with “…”, but feel free to open the GH terms of use and read the cited sections yourself.

While there is this option on the GH settings for Copilot:

• Allow GitHub to use my code snippets from the code editor for product improvements

…I find it entirely unclear what, precisely, is being disallowed when this is unchecked. Surrounding text and links are unhelpful.

Also, if I understand the relevant law properly here, many AI companies are likely betting on training being fair use. Your rights, your power to dictate terms in a LICENSE, are thus irrelevant if fair use applies. I lack the background to tell how the COPIED Act, were it to pass, would change this in regard to code, if at all.

Finally, there’s that question… do you actually trust companies to follow the rules in good faith?

Very simple, “just works.” Great if you want to make a one-time transfer and don’t care about syncing files over time.

I love Syncthing, KDE Connect (why is it not Konnect?) and others, but they might be a bit “extra” for this case.

Unrelated, but I just found out there’s a .youtube TLD. Not sure how to feel about this.

Some features of premium actually sound really interesting, but I find myself struggling to reconcile my interest in both those features and the general idea of an internet that isn’t built upon ads with my strong dislike of Google and a sincere wish to give them as little money as possible.

Didn’t think I had to say it explicitly. As far as influencing Mozilla’s course, I don’t believe those to be very helpful methods. A fork may be helpful, but it highly depends on the developer(s). I argue against the second one all the time. Third is laughably counterproductive.

Mozilla is capable of responding to (esp. proper) feedback. For example, regardless of what you think about the subject, the community sent a pretty clear message when they started accepting cryptocurrency donations, which I’m sure they’re still keeping in mind to this day.

Point being, engaging with them is one thing that helps and I can do just fine. No need for “endless doom screeching.”

Re: positive news. Yes, on paper it can. We’ll see how it turns out in reality. I’ve explained why I’m not immediately into it, though your comment seems to ignore that part of mine. I do want it to work out though, if for no other reason than because what’s done is done and ultimately, I just want Firefox to thrive.

Oh, we’re fully in agreement. I’m not arguing in favor of abandoning Firefox or Mozilla at all. I’m just saying frustration and anxiety are to be expected sometimes. Note that I’m not excusing rudeness or the like.

Re: the burden of developing a modern browser, I wonder what librewolf evangelists think would happen to the project, if Firefox development by Mozilla were to fall due to any reason. To my view, the forks only exist because Firefox still does. After all, if managing an entire browser was possible with their resources, they wouldn’t need to fork one.
