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

Chromecast too many advertisements
There is some work in progress on Open Screen Protoocol along with a very very early prototype implementation, that aims to create an official W3C standard for implementing the W3C Web Presentation API. Hopefully this work proceeds.

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

What if Discord changed their Desktop app to use Firefox browsing engine instead of chromium?
Replacing Electron and rebuilding Discord from the ground-up would be quite the undertaking. What framework would you use? Firefox has tried to make an Electron-like framework in the past with Positron, but it has since been discontinued.

Is there a way to build desktop apps using Firefox engine?

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.

day 1 : so far so good
It’s been discontinued github/mozilla/positron

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
