We really take for granted just how much ergonomics goes into the average user interface that has matured.

Like knowing that when I doubleclick a keyword, I don't want the comma as well to be selected.

Or that when I use a command in the terminal and I press tab I want a list of a specific element type.

Everything has gotten so much better since the 90s !

    @AvatarOfKaine As a firefox fan, i agree

    The experience got progressively worst, but honestly, the entire web did

    We got better colors and fancier layouts, but the price, my friend, i don't think we will be able to pay to for much longer

    @AvatarOfKaine i'm ready to be downvoted to hell 😂

    I would love nothing more than having firefox regain its place as one of the posterchildren of open source, but seeing how the company management is handling themselves, it will be a miracle if we still have non-chromium firefox next decade
