Other options: Firefox Beta, Firefox Developer Edition, and Firefox Nightly. Beta and Developer are very stable, and honestly Nightly is pretty stable as well (but it updates a lot). Possibly you could replace it with Librewolf.

...but Austria is in the EU though?

Also, you can manage your profiles at about:profiles.

You mean the ones for a closed and unhealthy web? :P

Maybe they could recommend Windows as well, while they're at it, haha.

I'd already be happy if we still have the ones we have today in ten years.

How can a platform - in general, not just meta - provide a “free” service, without monetizing it with targeted advertising?

One option would be contextual advertising, rather than advertising based on tracking the user.

(Contextual, as in: if you're looking at a Formula 1 community, you might be interested in car-related products.)

I don't know the relevant programming languages so I don't know what to search for, but generally, if you want to find something in the Firefox source code, supposedly https://searchfox.org is a great way to do that.

So you're saying: don't release the GTK 3 port until colour spaces are also complete? Why not give people what's ready, and then when colour spaces are ready, cut another release? No need to make people wait who don't need colour spaces.

(Additionally, it's easier to verify that bugs reported before the release of colour spaces are more likely to be related to the GTK3 port.)

It doesn't matter if they do, as long as voters believe they do.

Almost nobody thinks this win is the result of fringe extreme elements within Islam. It has more to do with lack of housing, inflation, etc.

It works great in combination with the keyboard shortcuts for opening the first, second, ... eighth tab, which is Alt+1 (or +2, +3, etc.) for me, but I think is Ctrl or Cmd instead of Alt on other OS's.

Haha yeah fair enough, he got a majority of electors (I think that's the right term?), but not of the popular vote, which is what counts in the Netherlands - another sign of how different the electoral systems are. But yeah, the larger point is that the level of popular support is way lower.
