Look at this chud video here.

It’s just complaining about DEI, but why now? Apparently, Firefox has a “license” to all your data now. How much is that true? Is he just cherry-picking here, in this case? Librewolf or whatever it’s called might be a better option. There’s also Zen browser.

I got this in my YouTube feed and didn’t know it was more anti-DEI slop and now I’m not sure what to believe. Wish they didn’t have to make it so political like they accuse others of doing. Ah well. But what is this I hear about Firefox having a “license” to all your data?

I guess that’s like a lot of browsers, tbh, but I suppose Firefox has higher standards, or did…

    It’s so complex that compiling any browser that supports at least most web standards from source takes a lot more time and memory than compiling the entire Linux Kernel or even the mesa userspace drivers

    i made the mistake of clean building ungoogled chromium once
    it took over 5 hours on my pretty beefy machine lol

      Firefox isn’t much better in that regard. Bootstrapping alone takes many minutes, which is no surprise since their build system is not only huge but also written in Python of all things. Even if you use gcc instead of clang to compile the corporate spaghetti, the tons of rust in the codebase will make up for all that time gained lol. On my 2014 Xeon workstation where a generic Linux Kernel takes less than an hour, FF takes 6+ hours to build.
