Also - when you say banned, you're speaking of the "red screen of death" right? Not a broader ban from the domain using Google Workplace services, yeah?

You feel that Firefox doesn't have a bunch of features that you would use - but those are not bugs. I recognize this is HN - where there will definitely be a higher percentage of power users, but an open source project not having the features you want doesn't make it a second-rate browser, it just means it would take more work for you to customize. Listing cred of having used FF in the Mozilla days is the same as saying Linux is second rate because you installed Caldera back when people were still scared of Y2K.

As a daily FF user - Firefox is great. And more users should give it a whirl, especially ones that haven't used it in a decade.

These tools will get better, and they will eventually allow the best to extend their ability instead of both slowing them down and potentially encouraging bad practices. But it will take time, and increased context length. The world is full of people who don't care about best practice, and if that's all the task requires of them - keep on keeping on.

Maybe the real issue is they choose to bring in lower quality suppliers that they deemed to be "good enough", instead of hiring quality, and building robust internal process to make sure the type of feedback is brought to the suppliers directly - with examples, and well thought out suggestions instead of this notice posted on the office fridge.

To me, this looks like a lack of will for financial commitment rather than an industry-wide plague that's impervious to the ultimate resource to fix nearly every problem we face - willpower and an increased budget.

In this case, it feels like the two most likely outcomes both hurt us.

Nuance is needed, and I hope that they find it.

We cannot let that happen with AI technology, and it is a very difficult conversation when we're talking about technology that has already replaced likely hundreds of thousands of jobs in the form of extending the amount of productivity individuals can produce.

To you, this is a moral issue, and one I absolutely agree with at its core. But this is technology, in my opinion, has the risk of eventually triggering a form of social stratification. The focus should be on keeping the technology ubiquitous, accessible, and unrestricted.

At some point, it becomes a national security issue. This technology is going to be leveraged in ways we can't even dream up today. Copyright law needs to be re-imagined in a way that won't restrict advancement in AI, and AI-adjacent technology. It's not because we want to - it's because we have to.

The only problem I really remember is at one point Firefox having issues under linux when NVIDIA was swapping their main driver over to the "open-sourced" version, there was some performance issues with decoding, not unusable - but it was resolved within a week.

But, this is just my experience.
