Firefox's killer feature is that it's not chromium. That's the pull. Nothing to do with tab grouping or UI design.
When your userbase is made of people who don't want bullshit, you are taking a risk with every new feature, especially the ultimate bullshit feature of AI.

> Enzor-DeMeo spent 2025 racing to make Firefox a more compelling product, adding things like tab groups, while also trying to figure out how the browser should integrate with AI.
It doesn't have to be compelling! It's for accessing compelling stuff!

Perfect screenshot. Worf as a focal point is already killer, then your eyes travel to Data in the friar haircut and you think "this can't possibly get any better," and then there's the finishing blow of Geordi in his space visor plucking a lute

Tokyo Godfathers is one of the best films of this century. A key reason is that it portrays Tokyo with an almost overwhelming level of care and detail.

Pirate the series. Make your own physical media. That's the only answer when this happens and they haven't put it out any other way.

In this day and age? The One-Pound Gospel OVA
Rumiko Takahashi's classic romance about a young boxer and a nun. It was required watching in the '90s but very much "only the oldheads know about it" these days due to the fansub scene decline and it not having an official home video release since 1998

The two insidious things about the way our society deals with abuse are, first, that we almost always don’t, and, second, that when we do we center the abuser and what it all means for them.
Which is another way of saying this is a great essay about politics and our current predicament.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
