Red Pandas are also often known as 火狐 in chinese, which literally translates to “fire fox”.
Firefox being slow has almost nothing to do with Mozilla’s incompetence or the browser’s inability to handle websites.
When devs build websites, they usually build them for the most popular browser, aka Chrome. They couldn’t be bothered to help the minority of people who use Firefox. Also, cost. Building a website to work with 2 different engines is more expensive than building it for just one engine that’ll work for 99% of users. That’s why a lot of banking websites never support FF.
Another primary reason is Google’s Monopoly. Almost everyone uses some Google service or another. Google’s websites are tailored to perfectly fit Chromium, not FF. This is why you’ll sometimes see websites break or even crash. YouTube’s recent ambient mode made the site choke quite a lot on FF. An average Joe ain’t got the knowledge to know or even troubleshoot the issue and they’ll just shift to Chromium, where everything just works.
You learn somethin’ new everyday. Thanks for enlightening me. 😁

I’m not sure why FireFox is often depicted as a red panda. Isn’t it supposed to be a fox? (Not going to lie, both are cute.)
Free TV was mostly politics, news and religious stuff (maybe I remember it that way because my Dad mostly used the TV). About the only time I was really invested in television was when the 2006 World Cup aired.
The Netherlands. And by popular, I mean in my locality. Growing up, going to the theater was a luxury experience. I had a friend who was better off and he and I shared CD’s of movies and video games and so on.
Cable wasn’t exactly popular where I was growing up. I mostly watched movies in theaters or through DVD’s.
I remember a time when all the Disney content used to be on Netflix. That was the first time I actually invested in a streaming service. But, then they decided to make Disney+ and I went, “Well it’s time. Argh Matey!”
Oh, you mean to tell me that paying for a gazillion streaming services individually is somehow more expensive than bundling them all together with cable? Who could have seen that coming?
If you want something on Android, check out ViMusic. It uses YouTube Music as a back-end and can recommend stuff based on what you listen. It also supports offline playback. On desktop, you can use Hyperpipe. It also uses YouTube Music as its back-end.
If you want ultimate privacy, then download your favorite songs and use VLC or self host them and stream it from there.
Firefox (in my experience) does seem to lag on some devices especially ones that run older hardware. I have a really old Windows 7 laptop tucked away somewhere that had both Firefox and Chrome installed.
While Chrome runs like a hot knife through butter, I can’t say the same about Firefox. I popped open a Windows 8 VM as well and Firefox still seems to run smoothly on that. On my relatively newer laptop, Firefox runs like a breeze.
One of the main culprits might be your hardware (most likely RAM) or your OS. If the above 2 aren’t the issue, then I’d suggest making a new profile with no modifications and see how that runs. If that doesn’t work then try using the Firefox Extended Support Release. It’s known to be more stable and less frequent to crashes.
Blender took me a lot of time to master. It’s not exactly bad. The only thing is stuff is hard to find. And if you don’t use it frequently, you’ll eventually forget how to use it.
During COVID, I decided to give Blender a shot. It did work out, and I started creating some cool stuff. Then a few months passed, and when I reopened it, I was like, uh…
One of my many gripes with Inkscape is the steep learning curve. If this new application fixes it, I’d see myself using it as long as I don’t have to rent the software.
Till then, Inkscape all the way.
Invidious doesn’t use YouTube’s API. It merely requests content from YouTube either directly or through a proxy. So, I don’t think it’ll disappear forever unless the developers stop working on it. It’s probably gonna be a game of cat and mouse where YouTube figures out how to break Invidious, and the devs keep finding a workaround.
Honestly, I can’t even say I’m disappointed. I’ve lost all hope in Facebook.
