There is an end in sight: Firefox's. Mozilla has billion dollars and is cutting back on Firefox software development to focus on paying executives and pushing agendas.
You're either out of touch, or pushing an agenda yourself.
Firefox is a great browser, a sensible choice without any flaws that exists RIGHT NOW, that does not add a weekly "feature" that encroaches the user's interests.
It is fair to criticize Mozilla's operations. It's not fair to spew FUD on the best browser alternative that currently exists - your comment implies that Firefox isn't any better than Chrome. That is simply not true from a user-hostileness perspective, which is the context.
Financials are another matter, and if they are really so problematic then what you should do is either propose a better alternative, or even work on it yourself, given that it is open source what we're talking about.
My comment didn't "imply" anything. I stated that Firefox may be coming to an end. Then I stated the facts that back up my belief: (1) Mozilla has over a billion dollars; and (2) they are reducing the amount of money allocated to Firefox development.
I simply have no idea how you can possibly draw any other conclusion. It's not "FUD" either. If you can refute the article I posted, I will stop posting it and never speak of the matter again. Until then, I will criticize Mozilla for not spending money developing Firefox. Because I care about Firefox and want to see it kill Chrome, not languish in 5th place dying a slow death with zero leverage to actually stop things like WEI from being inflicted upon us.
> Because I care about Firefox and want to see it kill Chrome
You're actively working against what you say you care about if you post a negative reply to a comment suggesting Firefox as alternative to Chrome. In a thread about Chrome's latest user-hostile feature of the week.
Anyway, you brought attention to the issue that you care about going on at Mozilla. Let's hope that there is a way to improving that, simultaneously to promoting Firefox as a perfectly-good alternative to Chrome - today.
I'm doing what I think is right: spreading the word about the way they operate. I don't want people to be disappointed like I was. Disillusioned by false hope.
Maybe it will generate enough pressure to set them straight. Probably not.
I have a similar issue with hardware accelerated videos in general that drops all my USB connections randomly when stopping or skipping in a video. I think it's a power state change issue with my GPU because it never happens if I have a video game running.
I have disabled it an now it's fine! What is also interesting that this is happening with two different laptops. The Sound Device btw is a USB DAC that is connected through the USB-C hub. Maybe this is what is causing the issues.
This issue is relatively new, what I am experiencing is "reaching" the USB DAC Sound Device is getting slower and slower. Maybe this is a driver issue in Windows.
