I don't think so to be honest, I have never seen it here :-( Maybe in a couple years

I have seen it mentioned quite a few times on websites. Can you actually pay normal shops using that?

I read that this is actually coming. I forgot what it was called though. Fingers crossed.

Fair, I'm all in for de-bloating! The only problem with plugins is that it can become increasingly difficult to provide the same quality of testing and quality, because you can't possibly test all combinations of enabled plugins - even if most don't interfere with each other, it can easily break stuff

They care about doing the least amount of work while making the most amount of money.

I mean that's what capitalism does in a nutshell. Lower costs and increase the price. It's optimized for profit, not for the best product, unfortunately. The only thing that should keep it within lines is competition, but if the competition isn't any better it won't help

Man I just wish there were better alternatives to MasterCard and Visa.

could be, I can't judge that. do you have any source for that info or is it based on an assumption?

Well this is obviously personal to some degree, but for me it would be to fix bugs, don't crash, dont make me restart after an update and lose my incognito tabs, focus on being w3c compliant, block ads, maybe allow blocking annoying cookie banners and maybe allow good keyboard navigation. I like some features other browsers have, such as integrated tor browsing - but since I am not a big fan of bloat, I'm not sure whether that should be handled outside of the browser

I'm quite unhappy with spotify. I don't care about the price, but it keeps repeating the same and same music again, and the percentage of crappy AI music is increasing. You can clearly hear it. Their client isn't open source, and it's just a wrapped website. It sucks.

I wish Mozilla would just debloat the browser, focus on performance and making browsing a good experience. But unfortunately their revenue situation is bad. At this stage, they won't even manage to survive through donations after annoying their main user base.
