Yeah, that’s how bugs tend to go. If they’re hard to reproduce, they tend to get de-prioritized.

For the record, I’ve had similar issues w/ Chromium bugs, which have been really frustrating in our automated testing pipelines.

I haven’t run into any significant issues on Firefox (primary platforms are Linux, macOS, and Android), so I stick w/ it.

Mind linking the bug?

And AFAIK, tab isolation still isn’t a thing in Firefox for Android. It’s frustrating.

I’m more excited about File::lock and friends. I don’t currently have a use-case, but surely it’ll help w/ something like a SQLite implementation in Rust.

Hmm, I tend to have 100+ on desktop and 10+ on my phone, and I haven’t seen anything similar to what you mentioned.

Do you have a million addons or something?

I haven’t had that experience at all, and I use it macOS at work, Linux at home, and my Pixel 8 everywhere else. I did have a few issues on my old phone when lots of tabs were open, and I attributed it to running out of RAM.

Could you perhaps be low on RAM? If Firefox is your main, Chromium could work better in a one-off situation if it only has one or two tabs open.

Try restarting Firefox the next time it happens and see if it recurs when fresh. If it works fine after a restart, you’re probably running out of RAM.

You need to be more specific. “Intel” can mean anything from a 90s chip to something released recently.

Yeah, it’s a weird feature parity miss from Android that’s not related to not being able to have their own engine. I hope it gets implemented soon.

1. Works on Android, and I love it
2. I solve this with pinned tabs on desktop, I don’t need it on my phone
3. What’s the purpose? Why not just put windows side-by-side; Windows and Linux desktops have shortcuts, and I think macOS does too (I use Rectangle on my work mac instead)
4. That’s odd, because horizontal tabs hide w/ full screen

I hope this helps!

Certainly you’d be okay with certain pages using it, and you could hopefully disable it everywhere so you don’t see the prompt if you really don’t want it.

I honestly don’t care if browsers add or remove AI, as long as it’s opt-in and doesn’t cost resources when it’s off.

I don’t know the area, but real estate is pretty common across the world, so some questions you’d need go ask are:

• what does demand look like? Are similar places selling, or is it a slow market?
• is this purely a tourist destination or is it an area with lots of jobs nearby?
• how are the pictures in the listing? Does it attract showings, or are people skipping over it?
• if it’s currently a rental, does it rent well or are there a lot of empty periods (i.e. how attractive is the property)?

It could be that the price is off, marketing is poor, or the market is just slow. Figure that out and you can hopefully fix the problem.

Yup, look for “user agent switcher.” This isn’t something you should try to DIY in the settings, because user agents are complex and a small deviation can mean looking like Chrome or being unintelligible.

The user agent tells the page what the browser is, so the page can tell whether you’re runnit Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. The intent is for the page to change behavior depending on the browser since each have different capabilities (web standards change quickly). Unfortunately, pages rarely get updated in a timely fashion when browsers implement web standards so the engine check is frequently inaccurate.

Changing the user agent means changing what web pages think you’re running. If a page uses an optimized API on Chrome and a slower one on Firefox because Firefox was slower to implement it, then you can get a speedup by saying your Firefox is Chrome. Some pages refuse to run unless it’s a specific browser, so lying can make those pages work.

I hope that makes sense.

My phone has a gesture for back and refresh, I’ve never used “share” (I just copy the URL from the bar), and I only very rarely use the forward option. To open a new tab, I hit the tabs and then the new tab button (at the bottom). I put the URL bar on the bottom so everything is pretty close.

I find it very economic.

A settings menu is useful. What’s the issue?

To me, that’s a pretty big difference between each product.

It is meant to keep our elders out of poverty

Yes, the definition of a “welfare program” is something that keeps people out of poverty. According to Wikipedia:

Welfare spending is a type of government support intended to ensure that members of a society can meet basic human needs such as food and shelter.

That pretty closely matches my understanding of what Social Security is. Here’s the way benefits currently are calculated:

1. initial amount is calculated as 90% of the first $X you make, 32% of your next $Y, and 15% up to the limit
2. when you start taking benefits - you get 75% at 62, 100% at 67, and 124% at 70
3. extra if you’re married

Poorer people will:

• get a bigger share of their working-years income
• take SS later - so monthly checks will be larger

So yeah, it’s a forced contribution to a welfare program, but the welfare program is not as generous as others because it also functions as a retirement program for middle class people.

I think we should take this to its logical conclusion:

• don’t provide benefits for those who don’t need it (i.e. >= 4x the poverty line)
• base benefits on need, not how much you paid in - the less you earn, the more you get
• eliminate age restriction - allow poor people (working or not) to get benefits

I’m thinking it could be used to fund a Negative Income Tax (similar to Universal Basic Income), where if you report income under some amount, you get Social Security benefits, regardless of age.

I’m told I’ll only get 70% of what i am due because of decades of government stealing the money and calling it a loan.

Then you’re reading a bit too much into what clickbait articles say. The actual fact is that Social Security will be underfunded if nothing changes, and there’s plenty of time to make changes.

SS is a defined benefit

It’s only defined once you start taking it, until then, all we have are estimates. It’s somewhere in the middle of “defined benefit” and “defined contribution.”

Pension is a defined benefit administered by employer (or PBGC)

It can be defined benefit or defined contribution, depending on how it’s configured. Your benefits are directly calculated based on how much you put in, whereas Social Security benefits taper off the more you put in, and after a certain point you can’t pay any more in.

A pension pays out assets it has, Social Security pays out based on policy. A pension can go bankrupt if it’s poorly run, Social Security instead operates based on law (which can be changed), which is technically unrelated to tax receipts and fund performance.

They’re quite different systems IMO, and the main similarity is the regular payment, hence why I brought up annuities.

It’s not really a pension though. A pension is a retirement product based on how much was paid into it, and there’s often an option to cash it out instead of taking distributions. Social Security is a welfare product that, while tied to how much you put in, provides more value to the poor vs the wealthy and there’s no option to cash out.

The main similarity is that it pays out monthly once you start taking it, but it functions very differently. If you consider SS to be a pension, does that mean an annuity is also a pension? Because again, that’s a very different product.
