I honestly kind of miss the javascript craze because the emscripten stuff is fun to mess with, plus it can allow for interesting fixes where you can't run applications on thin clients. Yes I know its jeet filled these days but it was a fun little era.
You love to see it. Even if development is incremental, seeing more and more EEE shit get forked in a world of RUST + Commiepedotroonland (a la Niri/Cosmic) really warms a man's heart.
It's hilarious seeing that he had to rename packages again. I remember when he first introduced the project as KDE Lite on the Xlibre chat and someone warned him that he was going to have to change the name he rebuffed them.
okay the devs are dickheads, just use Basilisk if you want devs that don't fuck around and block Tor. I'll give you 1 updoot for not using the same arguments I've heard used against it being:
possibly a slight understatement:
okay yeah ik, even Dig Deeper left Pale Moon, though I think he still uses it(?). But I don't think your points degrade Goanna as an engine (you can always use Basilisk which doesn't have Cloudflare and Tor blocking from memory) as it is basically the only real alternative to the main 2 when it comes to hardening and extension support (albeit qutebrowser has something but not as extensive in options as Goanna/Gecko). Ladybird is coming and it is nice that people care for it, hopefully people actually do start using alternatives and we move away from it.
I use it, and I swear I'm not tripping, but one time I was browsing the farms and accidentally unplugged my PC, it shut off, I started it. All of the websites were logged out, but here on KF, for some reason, I stayed logged in, even through the shutdown. I do have open previous windows and tabs on start up enabled, but it still deletes all the cookies and stuff, no idea how it's possible and KF is the only site that did it.
it is a good browser for normies I will admit I use it and am writing on it right now (Pale Moon is my main though)
The worst part is that to your casual observer it looks like they're vendoring everything ...but nope!
Librewolf is ait as far as being better than stock Firefox, but Mullvad Browser goes even further with anti fingerprinting. Add noscript and canvas blocker and you're golden. For normie stuff, Nyxt is the way if you like lisping.
JS does have multithreading though.
I'm just awaiting LadyBird, to be honest. Progression seems to be progressing steadily, no stupid furry-tech drama, all built from scratch. Can't wait, really. -- No, I don't want to build from source.

Web Workers are not really threading, not the way operating systems (and other languages) do it. There's no shared memory, no shared resources, communication is via messaging and not locking/semaphores, there's no re-entrancy worries, there's no critical sections because they're not needed, and so on. They act like separate processes with some IPC. As far as execution goes, a worker acts like single-threaded JavaScript but in a different tab. There's no thread safety issues involved.
The fact that it loads all that from a newly made browser is kind of impeccable. It just seems like a CSS compilation error from what I can see. I truly am

Not quite. JS has atomics for working on shared memory.
