Interesting discovery today, bgp.tools has a much higher user base of Firefox than the standard expected baseline. Where the Wikipedia/Etc consensus is about 4.5% - 5% usage, bgp.tools sees about 20 - 22% on any given day, This is post filtering out bot and bot-likes! The is great (Chrome monoculture is bad) and bad (Firefox does not implement features I really really wish 22% of my userbase had, for example NEL reports, something that makes a huge difference to me being able to track down issues)
one honk maybe more

Mozilla/Firefox's position on things is extremely frustrating, on one hand they are stalling on NELs, and on the other hand the browser now ships with a LLM/ChatGPT integration. I just do not see the consistency in their behaviour.

@benjojo at this point I’m just holding out on Firefox as the least bad option. Maybe Ladybird will manage to become an alternative at some point. Or maybe it is abandoned like Thunderbird at some point, and saner minds manage to resurrect it.

@lmb Yeah I am not holding high hopes for Ladybird, It's inspiring, but it doesnt look long term sustainable

@benjojo also no webusb/webbluetooth is frustrating; I understand there are security risks but also this is perfect for like, web flashing utilities and hobbyist stuff that would otherwise bitrot

@benjojo There has been some movement on it. NEL has code written and is in Firefox 131 but preffed off. Toggleable in about:config as network.http.network_error_logging.enabled set to true
