"How i learned about Firefox MPRIS" - or - "[PSA/FYI] Add years to your life by avoiding this critical 'WTF?!?' moment."
I started using firedragon yesterday. it's great so far. that's not what this is about, but, probably has something to do with it.
- Is anyone here using FireDragon? How does it compare with Firefox and LibreWolf?
- I'm looking for a lightweight, non-Chromium-based browser.

Trying to build from source

Binaries for Arch Linux are not compatible with older GLIBC versions (I'm trying to create AppImages for other GNU/Linux distributions).
PS: I have the same issue with another program named Firedragon, the Firefox/LibreWolf fork for Garuda Linux, I have already talked with the developer about this issue. The main binary cannot work on other Linux distributions because the GLIBC version is not compatible. Any tips?

Which one is better Liberwolf Browser or Brave Browser?
A fork of Librewolf that's less strict is Firedragon. If you want to stay within the Mozilla ecosystem but find Librewolf to be overkill, consider this alternative.
-
How's your experience with Librewolf browser?.
A less extreme alternative is Firedragon which I've heard good things about, but haven't used. The only downside being that I believe as of right now your only install option is compiling from source, or get it by running Garuda Linux. Not a big deal, but obviously less convenient than a binary or flatpak.

Is it worth switching to Garuda from Manjaro?
It comes with its own version of Firefox, called Firedragon, which is a fork of Librewolf with some enhancements.

Making a Chromecast Receiver
I had no clue Chrome already used Openscreen Protocol! I thought it was just an in-progress idea & that their casting ecosystem was all something different. https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol
It's lamentable that so far this very cool part of the web has no open interoperable solutions. I'm so delighted to see this hackery & hear it works!! I really really really hope it sticks, until a real answer is provided.

Google Announces Pixel Tablet
There is a great lovely w3c spec to do Chromecast, but as an open protocol. A remote control protocol for the web. https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol
I really hope we can do it. So far it's almost exclusively Google putting the work, to take their tech (derived from Netflix's common sense/simple Dial protocol) & re-protocol-ize it again.
Such amazing benevolence, in my view. But if you want tech to succeed, you need to set it free. If you love it set it free. Create more value than you capture. Again here as in many places, I can say, thank you Google. You empower a great connected medium. It is good. These acts are great.

Firefox lost 50M users since 2019. Why are users switching to Chrome and clones? Is this because when you visit Google and MS properties from FF, they promote their browsers via ads?
Stuck in standards hell, but I'm sure Firefox will support it once it gets standardized: https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol/blob/main/explainer.md
