Brave's deviations from Chromium (features we disable or remove)
There were some privacy concerns, regarding leaking of user information: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment/issues/76

Scroll-to-text fragments not completely working via reddit
This doesn't make sense. There is no mystery about how scroll-to-text fragments should work. They're documented e.g. here: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment

Borges: The Library of Babel [pdf]
It's call "Text Fragments", and it was introduced to Chrome more than one year ago. https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment
I think it works in Chrome and Edge, but not in Firefox.

What's everyone working on this week? [2021, week 12]
I kind of want to be able to upvote this post three times: once for the actual projects (which sound really cool!); once for introducing me to the term/joke "rakit"; and once for teaching me about the scroll to text fragment API – I had no idea that was a thing!

DuckDuckGo search engine – The privacy browser is growing rapidly
The most disturbing example of this I found recently is the new auto-highlighting feature Google proposed to the W3C then YOLO'd into chromium before people's concerns were met, because they have control of it and don't need industry approval to get that to happen. Here's an example convo with some of these topics raised.

How Google jumps to a section of webpage without internal linking, during search?
Per web.dev, it is for Chromium based-browsers and other browsers have not signaled intent to support. This is quite a rabbit hole. Very recently there has been some spec discussion if you follow links in the pages I've linked here.

Website Search Hurts My Feelings
It's been that way for years: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/20351
I lost hope it and other issues would be fixed and moved to Chromium on Android.

Andriod app and Web are synced but..
Firefox for Android was rewritten pretty much from scratch circa 2020. Collections are one of its many unfinished and poorly-thought-out features, and they never got around to implementing the ability to sync Collections to desktop. It was a known problem in 2019, while the rewrite was being worked on, and Mozilla doesn't appear to have given it any attention in the years since.

Firefox on Android: Home Button
People have been asking for this for over a year via Mozilla's current feedback channels, and for two years on the previous issue-reporting venue, to no avail. It was automatically moved from the old venue to Bugzilla ostensibly because Bugzilla makes it easier to track and work on issue reports, but they haven't actually worked on that issue report at all.

Is it me or Firefox?
Known issue, not a new issue, and unlikely to be fixed any time soon, unfortunately. I had this before I stopped using the Android version a year ago. It was reported as a bug at least a year ago on their old issue tracker, and later moved to the current one, where last activity on the issue report was three months ago. No apparent progress toward any fix.

Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to finally go mobile
Since Fenix's first release they've been saying that the absurd limitations on add-ons support were only temporary, and they would have quickly increased the number of supported ones.
And instead absolutely nothing changed for three years.
Furthermore the insane bugs from which Fenix suffers from its release (https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731) (making it unbearable) have been left hanging, focusing the few resources on dumb ui experiments.
So everything suggested that Mozilla did not care of its Android browser, or actually that they were deliberately sabotaging it.
This news instead represents a huge improvement, hence my bewilderment.
I don't know what people who downvoted my message thought I meant.

Firefox Address Bar Tips
This was sadly deprecated on Android: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12099
It was such a huge loss for me that for at least a year I used the outdated pre-Fenix. Now they still work on Desktop but they just stopped working on Android (althouth the bookmarks itself are synced-up)
What are some alternatives?
ungoogled-chromium - Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
iceraven-browser - Iceraven Browser
App-bookmarks - Export browser bookmarks as plain text.
bromite - Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser!
problem-solving - 🦋 Problem Solving, a repo for handling problems that require review, deliberation and possibly debate
mystart - Google Bookmarks clone with extra's
darkreader - Dark Reader Chrome and Firefox extension
OneTab-Night-Mode - Little theme for the onetab page to make it less eye raping.
multi-account-containers - Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs that preserve your privacy. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple identities or accounts simultaneously.
tab-stash - Firefox extension to save and restore tabs as bookmarks. Clear your tabs, clear your mind.
Firefox-UI-Fix - 🦊 I respect proton UI and aim to improve it.
