..just revert to the fragmented and anonymous by default internet of yore, where you could have multiple disconnected accounts across various services and sites with nobody tracking you across them.

Whoop is a bit different from other fitness trackers in that it runs entirely on a subscription membership model.

Any physical product dependent on an online subscription to function lasts only at the company's whim, and no one with a brain should be buying it.

..you are a streaming platform for full length movies and TV shows, not a fucking 15 second reel platform. We have enough of those so there's no fucking need to pivot that way.

That was Saudi Arabia, genius.

Cut out the bullshit propaganda parroted by Firefox shills. How the fuck did this get modded informative?

which features a MUCH worse compatibility with modern websites

Compatibility has vastly improved over the last couple of major releases but why would you even know that?

A fork that still sticks to XUL, has a single window model and thus any tab can bring the entire browser down?

'Still' sticks to XUL, which actually extends the browser and is far more powerful than copied-from-Chrome web extensions, which simply made it easier for malware extensions to become cross platform. The largest profusions of malware extensions came after and not before switching to web extensions. The single window model offers a much smaller surface for vulnerabilities than relying on the OS for messaging between multiple memory hogging processes, and it's not as though multi process has made the others crash immune either.

A fork that's barely maintained?

Again, what fucking crack are you smoking? The latest version was less than a month ago. Or does 'maintained' mean 'new version released every week because fuck having nightlies and separate builds, we will copy Google's demented rabid release schedule and keep breaking things' the way the entire end user software industry has gone?

They aren't unique in being biased just because of a mandate, genius. MSNBC, CNN, Facebook, Twitter pre Musk and the rest all were very happily functioning as propaganda arms of the Democrat party and running interference for any criticism to get around the pesky first amendment, but of course a totally not 'braindead cult member' like your esteemed self would have observed that.

The point is that you do not have to deal with the problem, IT departments do. Therefore, even if you have to use it at work, you are not impacted by this problem.

On the contrary, I'd say I'm even more impacted when I can't make any changes to reverse the crap on a locked down corporate system. For eg, getting rid of the giant start menu and replacing it with Classic shell. It's not just security issues or updates that would only affect an IT dept, it's also the complete disaster for end users that their UI/UX has become starting with Windows 8.

It's not. Enterprise IT is the major chunk of Windows and Office licensing revenue at this point, not end users, most of whom have traded in PCs for smartphones for daily use.

That's just special pleading. Not having a mandate doesn't make them automatically unbiased and their coverage only underscores the fact.

Who is 'you' here? Those who can have moved off Windows altogether, the rest of us are forced to use what our employer pushes on us. Enterprise IT desktop market is all Microsoft's.

..given it has changed so many hands since then. The current entity is just an empty brand name with nostalgia value for those who used it originally.

..when they both use your mobile number rather than a userid as an identifier, as well as to verify your account. That's a massive showstopper for me right there, and no, buying a burner SIM just for instant messaging is a ridiculous suggestion (given that in many countries you can't just anonymously buy one without providing your ID). Aside from that it's a total pain in the ass having separate chat histories for contacts with more than one phone number.

so that we can STARVE FOX NEWS into oblivion

Why Fox news alone, unless the implicit narrative is that except for them, all the other news organizations are total paragons of objectivity and excellent journalism?

Duh. Per domain JS,XHR,frames,cookies(allowing previously set cookies to be read on a third party domain, not just written),media,CSS. But if you really were a long time user of Pale Moon, you would have known that from the multiple times it's been recommended as the alternative.

all that FUD Moonchild put in

Sure, keeping a browser updated (to stay current with a Google controlled web whose so called standards change every 10 minutes) beyond 2017 or so when the last compatible version of NoScript was released counts as 'FUD'.
It's not as though there isn't a better equivalent.
