True, but the other argument is just try adblock lite, it works fine.. It isn't as powerful but I would rather have a fully functional daily browser than one with lesser video playback and conferencing functions.

Ad block lite does a good enough job without me changing to be honest, again the point being is that there are more problems with me using Firefox as a primary browser than ad blocking benefits.

I guess, but the comment is a direct assertion against Firefox growing from this change. You sort of prove my point by suggestion another sub variant of the chrome ecosystem.

The lack of HVEC/h.265 support is kind of a deal breaker in firefox (windows nightly builds don't count as done). I need it to view h.265 security cameras and the occasional movie streamed via browser.

Edit: For those suggesting multiple browsers I could just use Edge if I wanted to.. still better compatibility as it is essentially chromium.

I have a list of other things that don’t work reliably in Firefox such as various video conferencing tools so no, I am not going to switch to Firefox as my primary browser again anytime soon.

I was a Firefox user for many years but there are too many daily things I use now that prevent me from using it as a primary browser for work and causal use.

The official documentation?

There isn't much to it

View-> Then the little v arrow in the right. Switch to tabs only, the Ribbon UI will now only appear when you click one of the titles like home or View.

Ya basically the one that works on the most sites while also not being a PITA.

Being older than the internet and having used mosaic, Netscape navigator, IE, Firefox, Chrome, several short lived mobile browsers and tried Opera a few times. Can’t say I have a favourite as any browser I like that becomes popular also tends to become bloated and slow over time.

I think it has been probably more than 5 years since I have seen an optical drive on a new laptop.

Blower fans had a technical reason to exist that isn’t very relevant anymore.

It used to be to keep the card profile low so you could have other PCI card slots populated. However these days everything including Wifi can be found pre populated on the motherboard. It is rare you put in any additional PCI cards in modern personal systems.

Ya acrylic side cases where a trend, maybe 3D monitors but everything else in there was just specific technology that has been replaced by better technology..

Reading through the comments on the video, the only "used to be" part the video creator is talking about is that it is a alien hobby OS that hardly anyone uses or knows about. Don't take that as a negative but he is just talking about the feels. Other than that technically their isn't a lot in common with Linux from the past.
