- Comment on I hacked Microsoft Edge to make my ideal Chromium web browser 1 week ago:
I haven’t noticed a website outright blocking Firefox in a while, in part because Firefox devs are staying on top of it with overriding a lot of site blocks. The issue I run into the most is reduced video quality in Google Meet in Firefox, so I switch to Safari or Chromium when I need to do calls there.

Chromium builds don’t have built-in automatic updates, and they’re missing DRM and some other proprietary components that are important. I’ve seen some community-maintained builds with varying update methods, but they don’t seem as well-supported as relying on Google/Microsoft/Vivaldi/whatever.

I used desktop Linux as my daily driver for years, I am aware it exists.
- Comment on I hacked Microsoft Edge to make my ideal Chromium web browser 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I suggested Vivaldi in the article.

LibreWolf doesn’t help me with websites that refuse to work properly on Firefox’s engine. I mentioned in the article that Firefox is already my daily web browser, but I’ve been looking for a good backup Chromium browser for that and other reasons.

I don’t think he is talking about specifically businesses, though, because he also Gemini replacing Google Assistant is something that only matters in consumer products (Assistant was never an enterprise product). It’s more like he’s moving the goalposts mid-statement.

If the models are more efficient, the tasks that still need a server will get the same result at a lower cost. OpenAI can also pivot to building more local models and license them to device makers, if it wants.

I wrote the article, Ed said that in the linked blog post: “There Is No Real AI Adoption, Nor Is There Any Significant Revenue - As I wrote earlier in the year, there is really no significant adoption of generative AI services or products.”
There is a pretty clear path to profitability, or at least much lower losses. A lot more phones, tablets, computers, etc now have GPUs or other hardware optimized for running small LLMs/SLMs, and both the large and small LLMs/SLMs are becoming more efficient. With both of those those happening, a lot of the current uses for AI will move to on-device processing (this is already a thing with Apple Intelligence and Gemini Nano), and the tasks that still need a cloud server will be more efficient and consume less power.

That’s shifting the goalposts, and I also wouldn’t really trust Ed Zitron’s numbers when he gets a very simple thing like “there is no real AI adoption” plainly wrong. The financials of OpenAI and other AI-heavy companies are murky, but most tech startups run at a loss for a long time before they either turn a profit or get acquired.

Nice, I’ll add that to the list.

Yeah, some Rust code from Servo was integrated a few years ago as the article explains, mainly the CSS engine.

- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 6 months ago:
Not really, even the cheap phones have large screens now. There’s no correlation anymore between price and screen size, the cheap phones just have lower quality panels.

Because PCs are worse for living room/controller gameplay, you have to deal with Windows or Linux, and many other factors?

The Mozilla FUD where I said I like Firefox and pointed out how many of the projects continued in some form after Mozilla ended them?
