well I declared middle managers over last year and switched to full remote because I didn't want to comply with mandatory day per week in the office anymore.
Told HR on the exit interview my middle manager is not providing me any value and I don't want to make profit for his pay and rather found a company that realized enabling fully remote gives them competitive advantage and I can keep this part of the money for myself. They starred at me like I said a blasphemy
Looking back at it with the experience of almost a year I should have done it much earlier.
The toolbar API still lacks the required features to allow multirow. According to bugzilla discussions they might add it somewhere in 2018 :( You can also find contradictory statements from different developers like "this should be handled by addons" vs. "addons should manipulate only the web content not the browser itself" etc. It's a mess so maybe if we users push enough they might understand. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246706
From my point of view they should also provide mouse gestures because the WebExtensions work only after DOM is loaded and not having gestures on internal pages is a huge discomfort and user experience dissonance to put it mildly.
> "addons should manipulate only the web content not the browser itself"
WTF? Who in their right mind can think that the only reason people installed add-ons was to manipulate the web content? UI is the main differentiating factor between browsers, FF strength was the ability to customize UI for user liking.
I continuously struggle with debugging aspx with embedded JavaScript. Breakpoints can't be set on any line and I still haven't figured out the logic why and when stepping through the highlighted line is never the one that is actually running. Even after expanding the code with the { } button. It's just simple JS so no code maps should be needed.
At the very least I'd want something to override ctrl+tab tab switching order (by most recently used instead of tab order in tab bar), and a popup showing the tabs in that order.
Edit: Apparently the about:config setting browser.ctrlTab.previews gives you MRU and a popup. Unfortunately it shows large thumbnails of the tabs instead of just a list of the titles.
You know what? Company that silently ignores hundreds of its Android users requests to implement such a basic functionality like playlist reordering for more than 3 years maybe deserves to die. It's a book exanple of business and customer service fail and tremendous arrogance.
It's not hard to believe. It's one of many, many things Spotify has done to indicate how little they care about their users. Here are a few more, arranged somewhat chronologically:
* Forcing mandatory Facebook logins, only to walk them back
* Releasing a "version 1.0" of their desktop app with no
CTRL-F support and dozens of missing features
* Breaking people's hardware with bugs that made hundreds of unnecessary reads and writes to drives, denying the issue existed until pressed to fix it
* Silently removing basic features from their apps, or pushing UI updates that make said features harder to use
Here's a google translation of just a few days old Czech article about him from his beginnings as a child. I thought Alex Honnold is the best one and didn't know about Ondra till this weekend although I am Czech as well.
I am using Firefox night builds with 33 active addons including GreaseMonkey and some user scripts at the moment as a main browser for about few months already because of multiprocess support. It's perfect - fast, responsive and pretty stable now.
What you say about web apps and Chrome you can say about FF with multiprocess on as well. If some page takes too much cpu you can find it in your OS task manager and kill it and you will see which tab crashes (TabData is an usefull addon showing how much memory pages take https://github.com/bobbyrne01/tab-data-firefox (don't sample too often, it slows FF down if it's active and you have dozens of tabs open and sample every few seconds)
I don't know the number of process they will use as default, I configured 128. I regularly use 20-60 tabs with pinned Twitter, Gmail, Reddit, WhatApp and some more ( TabMixPlus with multirow tabs makes it no problem) and it's really nice browsing experience.
I had to restart FF every morning, sometimes multiple times a day and when something crashed the whole browser went down. Now you just reload the crashed tab or plugin - was common few months back and is rare nowadays. It has a warning if some addon is slowing FF down - I hope addon authors will update them but right now I just ignore the warnings because I don't see any subjective slowdown.
