Verso Taking Shape As A Servo-Powered Web Browser

Firefox's issues has nothing to do with woke CEO's, but you can continue deluding yourself so you can "better" understand the world.

Even timestamped for ya. Easy to state things without facts.

the amount of money mozilla wastes on this trash is exactly why I hope firefox will crash and burn sooner rather then later and takes mozilla with it, then we can focus on forking it or even a new browser like servo

I keep telling people that the new Firefox is Brave, that's where the founder of Firefox went and he is doing a bang-up job of making a functioning piece of software. Yeah, the lack of browser diversity sucks, but that isn't Brave's concern, Brave's concern is giving us something tolerable that works, and they've done it.

I wish I could use a browser engine in a desktop widget in plasma, and have an option to set background color alpha transparency so that the desktop is visible

I mean, you can pretty much do that with an actual browser using window rules: Set to stay below other windows, fix position and dimensions, disable window-decorations, reduce opacity. And if you want rid of the browser's own UI chrome, most have a "kiosk mode" you can launch them in to do that.

Only thing is you may need to use a different browser than your daily driver, as otherwise all its windows may open the same way. There might be a way in the rule matching conditions that you can get around that, e.g. starting that instance with a different commandline.

On a similar thought, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a contrib plasmoid available that just wraps any old window you give it.

Indeed.

Most corporations have explicitly stated the opposite. I think it's just that Andreas Kling is cracked and an amazing project lead. But even he wants to replace C++ with his own language.

How so? Now he abandons his language Jakt, and wants to use Swift https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41218754
