Don't cursor and vscode also have this problem?

Is phone number enumeration now considered a vulnerability? Really?

Mozilla is an advertising company too. In terms of breakage, Im talking about more fundamental things like missing APIs and wrong rendering.

it is an architecture problem, too. LLMs simply aren't capable of AGI

Firefox is dead. You need an insurmountable amount of configuration to even make it bearable and there is non-user respecting settings and telemetry everywhere. Ads, too. It's not something you can recommend, every site is broken and Mozilla rather likes to spend it's money on [1] discouraging human translators and [2] giving people free coffee on "Browser Raves" in Berlin instead. It's a shadow of its former self.

it's the same kind of "workflow optimization" that notion and obsidian users suffer from. You spend so much time making your tools more productive but don't get any actual work done.

Firefox should commit more to correctly implement web standards - not even gradients render correctly. A lot of the users are oddballs with strange configurations that break everything. No wonder devs optimize for chrome.

This is just as user friendly as the rest of the firefox configuration. I can't recommend it to anyone in good faith anymore.

google is a customer of fflabs and has enrolled them in summer of code. They also provide free fuzzing. ffmpeg is a foss, gpl-licensed project. nobody has any obligation to contribute, thus it isn't exploitation.

New comment by zgk7iqea in "XSLT RIP"

zgk7iqea — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 20:03:13 +0000

Very interesting, thanks.

One point from one of the linked threads I find particularly puzzling:

> I think the issue with XSLT isn't necessarily the size of the attack surface, it's the lack of attention and usage.

> I.e. nearly 100% of sites use JS, while 1/10000 of those use XSLT. So all of the engineering energy (rightfully) goes to JS, not XSLT.

XSLT is a finished standard. Not everything needs to evolve. If the implementation works and is safe, what speaks against keeping it?

New comment by zgk7iqea in "XSLT RIP"

zgk7iqea — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 10:25:37 +0000

Why not just write an XSLT implementation in JS/WASM, or compile the existing one to WASM? This is the same approach that Firefox uses for PDFs and Ruffle for Flash. That way it is still supported by the browser and sandboxed.

the OP is about the difficulty of running a business in germany, not living standards. And what matters is always subjective

maybe better in terms of overall living standards but not in terms of innovation or the state being friendly to someone running a business

phone, the app already exists https://www.ausweisapp.bund.de/

a lot of people still scan their id but theoretically fraud prevention is possible
