Firefox of course :) It's the last one that has no compromises. As an example, Brave offers similar adblock and privacy features, but at the cost of having to put up with Web3 stuff. wbu?

The web browser.

Exactly. Music streaming works like this and it's doing fine. There's no reason why video streaming didn't go a similar route other than greed.

It's true that you need extensions on FF to have some of Brave's more advanced features. However, I consider this to be a good thing because you can skip their Web3/AI/Ads garbage and only get the features that matter like Forgetful Browsing (through Cookie AutoDelete) for a possibly lowered attack surface. Any Chromium fork, no matter how against big tech it claims to be, is still at the mercy of Google at the end of the day. Nobody is going to spend their time or resources patching Manifest V2 back into the browser after it's completely gone from the upstream.

It's the opposite for me. X11 is unusable on my laptop because it doesn't support fractional scaling well, whereas on my desktop it doesn't allow for a multi monitor setup with different refresh rates. Both dealbreakers are not present with Wayland. Though your point still stands; NVIDIA GPUs continue to suck more with Wayland than X11 for example.

I think I like the direction they've been going in lately.

I try to use a minimum for performance reasons. My big three are uBlock Origin, Dark Reader and a password manager.

I've never heard of Kvaesitso in particular, but I like simple, search focused launchers as they force you to specify what you want to do on your phone instead of letting you mindlessly open e.g. a distracting social media app.

I think they're referring to the socks you're supposed to wear when programming :3

You can do that today with the FUTO keyboard lol. It uses a small language model for predictive text.

Brave Search, not because I like the company and their crypto/ai shenanigans but they have some nifty features and (supposedly) an independent index.
