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.

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

Chrome says nom-nom
They did, twice. But they both were really unused.

How to make desktop icons like chrome?
That's an old tutorial, the pref its asking you to toggle doesn't exist in the latest Nightly anymore. Your best bet is to use an extension but if that doesn't work, then you're screwed. Mozilla isn't continuing development of this feature.
-
Do firefox have something like --app switch in chrome?
Are you referring to PWA? Unfortunately, Firefox does not yet support it; however, you can use this for the feature. The exension isn't great and buggy, but it gets the job done.
- Is it just me or does someone else desires desktop PWA's like Microsoft Edge or Brave or whatever?
