One of my younger #gecko friends enjoying a pleasant, sunny morning in #Hilo, #Hawaii

I just took the rubbish to the outside bins and saw a really plump, really long marbled gecko hanging out on the wall just next to my front door!

Encontrei este pequeno cão estranho à porta de casa

Perguntei à parceira se podíamos ficar com ele

Mas ela rejeitou a proposta

I find it very odd when people refer to ‘two main browser engines’, those being Gecko and WebKit.

Do people really think Blink hasn’t diverged significantly enough to consider it another engine at this point?

In #Texas nicht 'exotisch', für eine norddeutsche Großstadtpflanze wie mich allerdings schon Entsprechend erschreckt habe ich mich, als ich das possierliche Tierchen - gerade aus dem Haus tretend - von innen an der Außentür vorfand.

Obwohl sie Glück bringen sollen, wollte ich ihn ungern IM Haus haben

Speaking of geckos (were we speaking of geckos? let's pretend we were), here's a video I took a little over ten years ago of a #gecko on my window ambushing and eating a moth. #reptiles #WildlifePhotography #bugstodon #bugphoto

My little green housemate is hiding between the boards of my deck (or, as we say in #Hawaii, my lanai).
#gecko #reptiles

so for years and years everyone on the correct side of the #tech politics spectrum has been weary of #mozilla foundation but also aware that the ... like 2%?... market share that #gecko holds among web engines is the only thing left from giving away the entire internet to google and apple.

whats keeping anyone from forking gecko and developing it separately? if the community rallies around it, then all the non-corpo aligned #foss browsers can build on it (significant proportion of them already do) and granted we have to give credit to mozilla but at least we don't have to constantly chase and disable every ai product they try to shove into their updates.

what am i missing?

Pour survivre, #Mozilla se voit contrainte de soutenir #Google face à la justice américaine

La fondation Mozilla se trouve dans une position bien délicate. D'un côté, elle doit revendiquer sa place face à Google et son navigateur #Chrome, de l'autre, elle doit se ranger du côté du géant de la recherche face à la justice américaine.

I really want to keep using & supporting #gecko but #Mozilla is going down the toilet- what to do?

#Firefox desktop -> #LibreWolf (that was easy, simply copied my profile and it all came back exactly as before)

#Firefox mobile -> #IronFox (also easy on #GrapheneOS via #Accrescent store)

I can still use #FirefoxSync on both which is nice 'cos I am not quite ready to leave that convenience yet.

Now it's mostly just a matter of replacing my dependency on #Pocket (compiled out of LibreWolf), but that was on my list of services to deprecate anyway...

Non-Gecko (Firefox), non-Blink (Chromium) and non-Webkit (Safari) browsers:

Servo (browser engine)
https://servo.org/

Ladybird

They don't seem ready for use yet though.

For years I've returned to #Firefox as my web browser; I generally dig #Mozilla and think it's important to support #Gecko. Recently, I must admit I fell in love with many features of #Vivaldi from their nifty little worker-run company, such as workspaces, but it still lacked Firefox's containers and other features. Now I've discovered #Floorp and I'm absolutely loving it: based on Firefox, has all the appealing aesthetics of Vivaldi and the workspaces, but also containers! It makes my Gecko-lovin' geek heart happy. #WebBrowser #WebBrowsers #browsers
