"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
git clone https://github.com/dr460nf1r3/firedragon-browser.git
Look at the steps inside https://github.com/dr460nf1r3/firedragon-browser/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml

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.

Google Chrome pushes browser history-based ad targeting
Mozilla used to work on it: https://github.com/mozilla/positron
Currently I'm guessing https://tauri.app/ would be the easiest way to get away from electron.

One meme from my collection
They made an Electron-compatible replacement, Positron, discontinued.
- Firefox should have a webview

How do you think Mozilla can better optimize Firefox (and Gecko)?
That way: * other browsers can base their engine on Firefox's * it's possible to make nodejs applications based on Gecko rather than Blink (i think it was called Positron) * other company can join and help them having an engine that is truely free and open source, where everybody can contribute and assure that the web standard is respected

Yeah, totally. Mozilla started something that would do just that, but it looks like it's been abandoned for a while. https://github.com/mozilla/positron Not sure if anyone's made a fork that's being maintained.

Created a comparison table (Firefox vs. the big three): feedback?
Firefox has project seperated from it's browser, just the problem is it never took off and only stay as... a relic of the past https://github.com/mozilla/positron

Chrome says nom-nom
There was https://github.com/mozilla/positron but itβs abandoned
They did, twice. But they both were really unused.

Firefox Is the Only Alternative
Mozilla has been trying to build an Electron alternative based on Gecko, but it has been discontinued

I assume they meant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XULRunner, which was Mozilla's spiritual predecessor to Electron.
Some abandoned modern alternatives included Positron[1][2] and qbrt[3][4].
While technically possible using Firefox's XULRunner functionality (`firefox --app app.ini` β mostly undocumented, potentially unsupported in the future), as far as I can tell, Mozilla has abandoned the Electron approach for XUL/Gecko bundling, which is a shame since Firefox itself is basically just an implementation on top of the Gecko XUL runtime.
> "[Firefox] is distributed as the combination of a Gecko XUL runtime β libxul, other shared libraries, and non-browser-specific resources like those in toolkit/ β plus a Firefox XUL application β mostly just the files in Contents/Resources/browser/, plus the 'firefox' stub executable that loads Gecko and points it at a XUL application" [5]
