lol

Hug Firefox close, it's an awful world out there, especially with Google being given the greelight to continue their monopolising with Chrome.

I remember being tempted by this thing when it first came out - their asinine sign up waiting list kept me from pursuing it further and then I forgot about it until they eventually fully dumped it and moved into full AI-enshittification territory. There are really 30 years of reasons why most people will never trust a new entrant to the browser market - this is just the latest and probably greatest.

What a shitshow.

Am I the only one having isses with Firefox on Linux? While playing videos the image sometimes freeze and the audio keeps playing. Ironically the best media-player so far has been Edge, even chrome have some issues. All installed from Fedora discovery store, so prob related to Flatpak packaging.

flatpaks are sometimes funky with highly optimized software - they tend to need lower level access to hardware, which flatpakking sometimes gets in the way of.

check if you have hardware acceleration, maybe other stuff? `about:support` has lots of info, I've had to tweak a few things routinely to get browsers working like their native counterpart.
