Mozilla is no better than Facebook anymore. Different side of same coin.
They're not even interested in moving the web forward instead crying at Google for increasing the capabilities of the web browser instead improving Firefox. Users like chrome. I like chrome. There's no reason to use Firefox except for the ideological one. It's the inferior browser. People expect more from the web, but they (Mozilla) dont want to meet the modern expectations of what a browser should be.
>There's no reason to use Firefox except for the ideological one.
That’s a pretty emphatic statement. I use Firefox’s Tab containers extensively and haven’t found a good analog in chromium based browsers. Can you recommend an extension or addon that provides this functionality?
The API for this should come up in next few months. Besides cookies/storage/other state mediums can be compartmentalized even now atleast theoretically with an extension.
The colored tab border isn't possible yet in chromium, and there's hope that the API will come up for this.
I have a major reason for using Firefox: Containers. They might be a niche feature but they are beyond essential for me. I'll be using Firefox until someone rips it out of my cold, dead hands.

Or start charging for things that used to be free, like news results.
Hi, my name is Maciej Ceglowski, the latest (and hopefully last) owner of del.icio.us.
The site will be back online soon. If you had data stored on del.icio.us after 2010, you'll be able to export it here.
If you had data on the site before 2010, whether I still have it depends on whether you completed the "opt-in" process in 2011, when Yahoo transferred the site to AVOS.
I'll do my best to get everything I can back online this summer!
It's a long story and not completely the integrator's fault but in the end we had to replace all of the memory. Since then we have stuck to the same part manufacturers where possible. We don't know whether we've just been lucky or simply haven't reached a critical mass where it becomes a common problem, but it's been extremely rare for a part to arrive in working order and go on to fail within the warranty period. Maybe that's a testament to Supermicro, we have had some problems with their power supplies but all sometime after the warranty period has ended.
We (Mojeek) got our first batch of servers complete and it didn't work out so since then we have built them ourselves with the parts we want and that have been reliable for us.
It's an exciting time for us so it wasn't boring, but ask again after the next few hundred and you might get a different answer.
Keep the DevOps Mindset but get rid of DevOps as a thing where Devs are allowed to control everything that goes into production without a technical argument (the argument has been replaced by test-cases). We need to start having hard discussion again between devs (the agents of change) and ops (the protectors of the realm). Maybe not for every case but
Note: having seen terribly rigid processes I'm very much an advocate for DevOps and welcomed this way of working. I think we threw out the baby with the bathwater when we embraced DevOps. A site that allows what is mentioned in this article doesn't have a functioning Operations unit.
DevOps is not about letting devs control everything that goes into production. There is a much deeper problem with npm and the bloat driven web development. The amount of JS code an average website had more than a rich client implementation would be. The generic argument for web used to be that the resulting size of the web site is smaller than the rich client. This is not true anymore.
