Electron apps are great for one thing, quick releases. Other than that there is far too much that can go wrong and you end up with an incredibly resource (mostly memory) intensive application.

In comparison the native solutions I've seen run on about 20-200mb instead of 600+

Yeah an extension is no more trustworthy than the source providing it, network level adblock which you can monitor completely is probably the correct route

Ah I was hoping for a split board. Thanks for the suggestions though I was looking at the corner and the chocify before.

Been thinking about getting an ergonomic split board, I'd prefer wireless. Any recommendations?

Yeah however for mass adoption this is a terrible idea, there is already the extra step to choose an instance versus a regular social media that is just one link and one button.

I know for people like you and I choosing an instance isn't that big of a deal, nor is an extra extension (though i try to use as few as possible) but for a regular user it might cause issues.

The issue with an extension ls is it requires an install, getting everyone to install one extension is a hard task.

Can she not use the cloud version? Surely her company provides an account for that, if not it definitely has a free version.

Sosumi (the alert sound) was named due to Apple having a long running court battle with a music company called Apple Corps, link here.

Weird, I've not required X for anything since I started using it, I also just use my Window Manager to bind hotkeys (usually Sway)

Yeah I mean there's a lot of benefits and increased security on Wayland now so it's definitely worth the transition to.
