I guess beehaw has dbzer0 defederated because those links don’t work for me
There is no agreed way to pronounce it.
so you agree then that one person doesn’t get to decide what the pronunciation is, and there is no “official” way to say it (although, the majority of people use the hard g - source)
I can absolutely understand that point of view and even agree to an extent.
However, as a counterpoint: creative people being able to support themselves with their work means they can focus on their art instead of it just being a side hobby to their money making job
The inventor can call it whatever he wants, but it’s not going to change the pronunciation that has stuck with the general public. Language isn’t some decided upon thing that one person gets to control, it is a tool that naturally evolves and changes over time as it spreads from person to person
really “normie” is a normie term now, ever since Wednesday on Netflix became a pop culture phenomenon. I’ve heard people in real life use this term
Firefox? dead?! you mean the browser that peaked in user share in 2009 and has even declining ever since?? no! say it ain’t so! surely if I post a few more memes to lemmy it will turn things around
if only adblockers could block these Firefox ads
people usually look where they are going
Well in my experience, Firefox is definitely slower, and it is immediately apparent that it is much jankier than Chrome. And as the many posts I linked above show, I am not the only one with this experience.
Also it’s hilarious how I give a source and now the goal posts are moved and the benchmarks are “synthetic”
CPU and GPU benchmarks are also “synthetic” but they still show actual differences between what is being tested.
Qualitatively and quantitatively, Firefox is slower.
These issues are posted about about all the time:

And everyone wonders why Firefox has less than a 3% market share

What’s wrong with Firefox?!
I will get downvotes for this, but you asked:
Firefox is slow and glitchy, and lots of websites break or just perform worse than chrome.
Firefox used to have ~30% market share around 13 years ago, when it was better than the competition. The reason it’s dropped so significantly is because better options came along (chrome)
I understand the arguments about Google controlling the internet through chromium. I would love for Firefox to actually be the best browser, but it’s not.
And since Firefox users ignore these citisisms and act like it’s the best browser ever, there is not enough pressure for Firefox to actually fix these issues, since their users act like it’s already the best thing available and perfect in every way. It’s very similar to why Linux doesn’t catch on.
I have tried just about every browser available. I will use the one that performs the best and has the best features. Currently that is Brave, which is a great browser, but I would absolutely jump to Firefox if things changed and it became the best performing option.
I swear every space game is described like this
