I am not sure about the tabs.
For the scrollbars, edit these settings in about:config:
- widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override = 16 (or whatever you want it to be)
- widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled = false

lol - same thing with pilots
Thank you!
You're very welcome
When the new Freenet is up and running, I think it will be the first system of any kind that could host something like wikipedia, not just the data but the wiki CMS system it's built on. An editable wikipedia, entirely decentralized and very scalable.
I think when the history of the last decade is written, it will be about - in part - the terrible social damage caused by opaque and biased social media algorithms manipulating the public discourse.
Locutus is primarily designed for decentralization, not anonymity - which will make it less suited to IP theft than various other technologies that are already pervasive, the same is true of a lot of the other "people you don't want to be your early adopters" that you mention. It's definitely a risk for systems like Freenet, but it's a manageable risk.
Not quite sure how reality will go for this project at least based on comments here so far
Most of the negative comments so far are from people who I doubt spent 20 seconds looking at our site, so I hope they don't color your judgement. Read through our user manual and form your own opinion.
Of course, the irony of using Youtube and Google Docs for the presentation kind of hurts.
Once there are viable alternatives on Freenet we'll use them.
I remember a few years back thinking how the promise of Freenet was so easy to achieve today between low power computers, cheap storage, and bandwidth... yet we are stuck with what we have.
I think the time is right, which is exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing
Totally agree about the importance of naming, and Freenet has the advantage of literally describing what we're building - a free network.
We've already had interest from everyone from video game developers who want to build a decentralized MMORPG, to political advocacy groups across the political spectrum. Plenty of people value freedom.
Wish you'd explained how you match or differ from the only other similar tool I know of (Ethereum, right?). Or is this for a different purpose than "running work on computers I don't manage, and being able to pay fairly"? Doesn't matter how good a hammer you have if we don't need to nail things.
You're being surprisingly judgmental when it doesn't seem like you even read the first few paragraphs on the website about it, let alone the other available documentation.
We're still early but we already have a user manual that goes into quite a bit of detail, if you'd like to take a look and if you still have questions I'd be happy to answer.
There is setting/preference called "Always show scrollbars". It toggles the "widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled" pref as mentioned by the Anonymous Coward. It will not force the scrollbar to be visible on a page that cannot scroll. I think that requires GTK v3 tweaks for UNIX systems.
