This might be a clue, given the potential uses of such a tool.

True. Don't want to give anyone monkey virus or anything.

It was clear from Zoom's security vulnerability last year that they value ease-of-use over security, so it seems obvious to me they wouldn't care about privacy.

This is why I use GitLab

I second this, considering the fact that the two platforms have an equivalent feature set, there's also Drew Devault's platform: source hut (I think) which seems very good.

This is literally why I hate native apps... they will always take resources away from the website which is an absolute necessity. Unless the service is app only (rare), now you have 3 separate teams working to build the same solution.

The native apps are usually a lot better to use on mobile phones / tablets though

That depends. For accessibility reasons I find browser style overrides and find-in-page better than apps with little or no customization.

At first glance, this seems to be pretty opinionated, with a hip 30 second commercial

I used to be a fan of FF until chrome. I understand it's bad - but how about chromium?

Btw, I'm not against looking at FF again, but looking at this changelog and recent product direction, they honestly feel lost.

They deliver a new version every month, why do they feel lost and what sort of changes do you expect?

How is chromium better than chrome? It's the same program, minus some blobs.

Some users may not like the blobs.

I mean, sure, but chromium is still happy to spy on you, integrate with Google services, and contributes to the Blink monoculture. I'm just surprised that there are people who would object to Chrome on principle and not to chromium.

Mozilla is currently in a state of disarray. Diving revenues, layoffs, etc. Don’t expect anything major from them until the number of users start growing again.

Features just for insta? I thought this was a web browser not an instagram browser. I guess same goes for the facebook container... what's up with building browser features for facebook? Why no reddit container, or google container, or amazon container?

Firefox stopped being a neutral browser long ago. See [1] and [2][3].

It's possible this was a layout bug whose most common and visible consequence was on instagram?

Or does FireFox's picture in picture code have special casing for some sites?

FF has some special cases for specific sites. A bug linked above shows it for Insta and another for a bank.

Good question

> When a video is uploaded with a batch of photos on Instagram ...

They fixed a site-specific bug. It takes some creativity (and a strategically short quote) to get outraged over a browser update improving how the browser renders websites.

The Instagram thing is because a feature in Firefox broke a website

Cool!

Who want's to take a wild guess at the purchase price?!
