ok, I was probably biased by all the slow routers I had, but to my defense even the openwrt wiki mentions that SQM might not be useful with routers that have a slow CPU:

SQM is performed on the CPU, as such slower devices may be unable to keep up with your peak internet speed.

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm

I don’t know what were your companies consumer base, but where I live basically everyone has the cheapest old consumer routers that are on the very limits of the openwrt hardware requirements.

yes, that’s why I started caring. all the internet connected cameras everywhere. it cannot stay this way.

that’s like saying you can ise visual basic outside of excel, so there’s no point in using it in excel

Completely on point. But to add

Cameras should never be facing the inside of a vehicle, ever.

Neither outside. if you bought the vehicle with the inward facing camera, you accepted being recorded. but if a tesla appears near you, you never ever got the chance to deny being recorded.

aaand then they just broke millions of TVs. there goes the brand recognition

You are just moving the goalpost.

its easy to say firefox follows the standards slowly, when google is stuffing the standards with all the ridiculous unnecessary bullshit that have no business in the web standards, because they have the developer capacity to bloat it. when web standards maintainers are mostly google employees.

If there is any technical aspect (not moral, just technical) I am ignoring please feel free to share with the rest.

all the privacy aspects, including the many ways chrome is leaking identifying data that firefox fixes. as a start, you can look at uBlock Origin’s wiki page on why can it work better in firefox than in chrome. and this is just a little fraction of the differences.

and what should the router do with traffic going to TCP port 443? because that’s most things going to the internet. it could be video streaming. it could be a video call. it could be someone scrolling unimportant shit on facebook. it could be any of your dozen IoT devices uploading telemetry to the manufacturer. it could be literally anything. you can’t meaningfully prioritize traffic based on just what service is it, you need to keep track of the recent usage of each connection, and that will cost CPU power.

I also recommend ruining windows

a solution without wiping them out won’t solve the problem.

they changed their mind in ff 72: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/07/firefox-79/

most routers are way too underpowered for that. you are happy if yours has 128 MB of RAM and 64 MB storage, and then you can imagine how is it with their CPU.

I would like to click on a peertube link and for it to create a user on the peertube system using any relevant customizations from my parent user

unauthorized exfiltration of your user data, including all settings, your email address and possibly your subscriptions.
but probably this could be solved with some agreement dialog.

and if I modify options on peertube I wish it would save that to my piefed user somewhere

intransparent and unauthorized modification of arbitrary settings in the origin user

CSS scroll drive animation (standard), Cross document view transitions (standard), CSS corner shape, Multicol Level 2 (standard), some of the Filesystem Access API, WebGPU on linux, PWA manifest install (standard), took 3 years to ship documentPictureInPicture.

half of these are animations. are you choosing your browser by what cool animations it supports?

certain things are better unimplemented. like webusb and complete filesystem access, because they are too dangerous features to give to random websites by a single click. if a website wants to access arbitrary parts of my filesystem they should develop a downloadable app for that.

webgpu and pwa support are indeed happening slowly. Unfortunately firefox does not have as much funds as our favorite advertising supergiant does, and they are just the same plagued by a CEO who can’t ever be fulfilled with enough of a paycheck. you will not fix that by switching to chrome.

document picture in picture kind of sounds WTF, like the other feature allowing arbitrary HTML to he rendered onto a canvas. I feel it more with the latter, but sometimes I just feel google is intentionally making the web a standard too heavy to have competitors.

Web standard are implemented first in chromium, then in firefox after years.

I just addressed this in the previous sentence.

Chromium based browser have strict multiprocess isolation. This is not true for firefox. If a tab crashes chrome it does not crash the entire browser. This is only partially true for firefox

how is that only partially true on firefox? this is exactly the reason why it consumes so much memory when having lots of websites open.
I do not remember the last time firefox crashed for me. must have been many years ago.

Chromium is an objectively slightly better browser on paper than Firefox.

only if you completely ignore a bunch of aspects of it. in reality, it has a few advantages and lots of disadvantages. oh, and its also the default for billions of people who have no clue why choose one over the other.

put that script in task scheduler on repeat. let it run every day

you should revise your understanding, heavily

And do you need all 10 games instantly available on your PC?

if it takes multiple hours, streaming services and video calls could be lagging while the download is going. it becomes more meaningful when you are not living alone

they just disproved your point

what are you agreeing with? this is an entirely different thing.

that sounds both a privacy and security nightmare
