The only reason I’d want 2 “pages” is so I could close it to protect the screen(s)… but that’s exactly what covers are for.
Apart from the tiny minority of people who might prefer the form factor/“book feel”, are there any actual advantages to having 2 screens for general reading?
I heard this more than a few times over a year ago. Sure, it’s getting better, but there will always be limitations and weak points, even if they require more effort to detect.
I’m guessing this is what you’re talking about?
Yep I got the feeling that we were of similar minds about it but I wanted to provide some balance in case anyone else was weighing up switching to a different browser.
I knew JS was his handiwork, but I wasn’t aware of his significant role at Mozilla or that he is also behind Brave, so thanks for sharing that link.
According to your link below he was co-founder of Mozilla in 1998. Based on the other information on that page, he had a very significant role in shaping Mozilla and their tools, so as disagreeable as his personal views may be, it’s not impossible that Firefox might not even exist today were it not for his work there.
Someone else has already pointed out that he was pushed out, but he actually resigned due to public pressure (he was only CEO for 11 days, and one of the board members even left due to him being appointed) before going on to found Brave and becoming the CEO there lol.
If I chose not to use products based on the personal beliefs of the people who worked on them I don’t think I’d have very many options. Mozilla has made heaps of questionable decisions over the years, but the other options are generally much worse.
Thank you very much!
I’m glad it was at least about something fairly trivial.
Any chance you remember what that one edit war was about?
I did consider less common uses like that, which is why I specified “general reading”. I prefer paper for my sheet music, but I’d choose something with a faster refresh rate than e-ink if I had to use something with a screen anyway.
