Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Firefox is a good browser
Firefox is good, Mozilla is bad
You know what, I’ve been a Firefox user since the days of beta Phoenix. I’ve expressed your view for years now - Firefox was great, but held back by a commercial org that want led fancy SF offices, fancy SF compensation etc.
But I tried out Helium a little while ago and in truth, I’m not sure Firefox is all that good these days. Helium is basically ungoogled-chromium + extension support + super lean UI.
The upside is that you no longer have to contend with sites that have given up on Firefox testing. The downside is manifest v3. But all in all, I find it a better browser. Firefox is so busy telling its story, and finding revenue, that it just seems to have left behind product market fit.
Using the blink engine, even in a ungoogled browser, still gives google power and is immoral.
If a browser does not support unlock origin it is worthless. So Firefox wins by all opponents willfully exiting the race
This would not cause the reaction in the picture lol.
Yeah maybe not here but sometimes I feel like it
Where? On the Chrome/Brave subreddit? :p
Talk to any normie that knows what a browser is, and you'll discover that many people think firefox is bad (and then some of them will also proceed to glaze brave because they never saw what uBlock origin can do...)
It is though
It's the only non chrome browser
There's niche WebKit browsers too, like Epiphany. Also Ladybird in development, but that went full AI slop AFAIK.
Safari? I'm not suggesting you use it, but it does exist.
We don't acknowledge the existence of proprietary blobs here
Well, there are forks of firefox like floorp, zen, waterfox, etc. but i guess they might still count as firefox, because they are forks and not built from the ground up, only using the gecko engine from firefox.
Calling them forks is, in most cases, wildly too generous. They are derivatives of Firefox. They develop and maintain a few features, but they ar completely dependent on upstream for general progress.
